Looking back through these pics I posted, that dead coralline algae on the back of the tank is terribly distracting. May scrape it in the next few days. Also the pic of the wrasse a few posts up, looks like a vampire devil. LOL . My true 1:1 macro lens should be in the mail tomorrow and will start getting some new pics. Hawk fish is still doing good. Can't wait until I can put him in the display. He just looks so lonely sitting in a 40B with nothing but some pvc pipe to keep him company. Still haven't decided on doing TTM or not. Gotta decide by tomorrow as that will be the first 72hr window. I tested nitrates in the 125 tonight, and they were, um, a tad high. 40+. I had intended on letting the tank "settle" for a few weeks before I did a water change or started testing CA, po4, mg, etc, but I think I will be doing a W/C tomorrow. My hydor ATO has been a PITA. It works fine, but the pump I have running it apparently pumps the water faster than the sensors can "sense" so it always pumps it up to the top probe which is the alarm one, so it constantly beeps unless I move the probe up or turn the whole thing off. Think I'm gonna have to get an adapter to use a much smaller hose so that it doesn't fill as fast. As for the corals, everything looks great minus the clove polyps, and the blue sympodium. They looked great in the 40, but aren't happy yet in the 125. I think it's a flow issue. I've let them be for the last few days, but moved them tonight to different areas. Hopefully they will open again.
