    Fun thread.
    Put seaweed on the clip and added alk.. Which I do manually everyday.. sigh.
    Need a reactor.
    Killed a bunch of sundial and vermatid snails. .. which I also do everyday that I'm home.

    Bought a blacklight CFL and played around with making my corals glow... probably gonna be a permanent addition.

    OK, in addition to the actinics earlier, I turned on the daylights, clipped in some nori, tested nitrates and PH, and dosed some alk. Will probably turn off the lights later on. Exhausting day.

    Left the lights off and didnt do anything LOL - saw a bit of red on sand so left them off a day and will tommorrow also while my nutrients are being used up from target feeding...

    I DID wipe inside and outside of my 125gal discus display and checked the eggs on a pair of pure white diamonds that have been mating..she laid them yesterday evening.

    I introduced 10 mangroves, a bunch of new snails, added a brittle star, added 3 new frags, flipped over my chaeto, cleaned my skimmer, dosed some vodka and microbacter7, dosed 2 part, and fed my corals and fish.

    I have read that the light those blacklights make is not good for corals. you might want to look into that before you run that light.
