About 10 days ago, I got the Seneye Monitor to work with pH and Nh3. Current readings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I am satisfied with the Fluval 2.0 light for now, not really focusing on reefs or corals for now, though the par looks good with this light (50 - 150).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not sure why the pH keeps dropping, I kept having to apply Seachem's Marine Buffer<\/strong> (500g) which is quite effective in raising the pH, I think not much side effect either, i.e. Alkalinity, etc. Since this product contains calcium, magnesium, strontium and many more. So far, Aquaridise has the best deal $16.99 for 500g. Though, $13.99 at TheFishRoom.Net<\/a> with free shipping on all orders over $79, so I'll have to get like a live coral from them or something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the reefs, only 2 anemones left<\/strong>: Green (tip) long tentacle & purple corkscrew long tentacle. I noticed that the ultra mini carpet has disappeared today (melted or eaten by crabs?), thought it was surviving. But the temperature was probably too high (81+ degrees), still waiting for my cooler to arrive. The leather finger's gone. Green Pipe Organ's basically gone. Free frags are either gone or bleached dead looking, I kind of give up hope on them, nothing I know to do anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 3 feather dusters<\/strong>. I don't know if I already had the 3rd one all along or they reproduced the third one in my tank. One independent, the other two next to each other. But the \"roots\" are 3 with one of them appear to be extending with new growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
