It's the time of month again I took some more photos on the 17th
First thank you for the previous compliments. This month has been a bit tough. I been continuing to fight the resurgence of AEFW , and I also found Red bugs! Combined with a very busy work schedule I haven't been spending the time I need on my tank to blast/baste. I've been dipping some pieces I dipped any piece that wasn't glued down in intercepter which helped a little bit but i'm not ready to dose the tank I would need to figure out how to get all my acro crabs, and shrimp out first. (I will do it eventually). Blasting/Basting revealed some AEFW two separate times now, the second time however I only found them on 1 piece this time. I managed to also catch them before the eggs hatched (luckily) I broke down and dipped that piece in revieve as I know it's hardy enough to take. I ordered up a bottle of Zeo flatworm stop, I'm now on my 4th day of using it. WAY to early to tell if it helps, but it seems to temporary increase PE right after dosing.
On another note I've been running into some stability issues I believe it was related to mag swings (still dosing mag manually) which was causing my alk to have a hard time holding it's place. Not to bad though I'm on pace to have a max swing of .6dkh this month but some of the swings happened in a short period of time. I decided I'm sick of dosing w/my ACJR. I don't like that for me to do even doses there are gaps of up to 6ml per even dose. I've got a new stand alone doser that as soon as I have a couple hours and I know I will have a few free days ahead of me to monitor I will be setting up.
On a positive note I'm in progress of setting up a new bigger frag tank. I'm going to be upgrading from a 20x20x20 to a 36x24x12. I'm hoping the increased volume will help with stability and allow me to give much needed attention to some LPS which I thought I could grow out under my egg crate in the frag tank but do not seem to be doing as well as they could under there.
With all that said here are the progress pictures for the past 4 weeks. Growth on some pieces seems to have slowed a little while others are still humming along.
First is my "WILD" Rp knock off thing. It's starting to get a lot more vertical growth so maybe it's not like the RP which tends to plate more from what I understand, thoughts?
