Tank Entry

Alrighty, round 3. This website hates me. I can't log in at all on my phone or tablet, and I can't stay logged in long enough to post on a computer. I love this site and want to be able to participate more. Technology is frustrating.

Last update was in early December of last year and there have been a lot of changes since then;

- Changed lighting to all LED, soon to be LED supplemented with T5s. I'm running a combination of Hydra 52s and SOL AI Blues with a single Kessil ...

My reef definitely got cooked by overdosing bacteria in recent months, and it took me a while to figure out what was wrong (as you know if you read my blogs). I'm doing a soft reset rather than a hard reboot now. I'm not going to dose any additives for the next six weeks.
