Hey guys, long time no see! Since the craziness of 2020 started early last year I didn't have much time to spend on the tank. Tried to keep up with basic maintenance, but unfortunately didnt escape without some casualties.
I don't think I chopped up frozen food fine enough for my scooter blenny, so she ended up getting impacted(?) and went from 100% to 0% in days, was awful
Also, the leather coral & GSP slowly slowly receded & I didnt notice until it was too late since I didn't spend much time with the tank. The leather coral is still in the back, but isn't opening up much at all.
I think the lighting was to blame, as I have never used a Par meter to get an accurate reading, but just 'guesstimated' from other sources of info only. I have an AI Prime, and used the David Saxby schedule for about a year now.
Switched it to the Karen Nano from the signature line, and am planning to rent a Par meter to get the ranges correct this time.
On the plus side, I got noticeable growth from ALL LPS coral. Soft tissue growth was significant, many of the existing heads split, and there was a little skeletal growth as well.
