Water all clear after cleaning. Big breakthrough was getting the alkalinity dosing pump back online. Will test again Wednesday to make sure it is all good.

Still proud of myself every Sunday I do my aquarium maintenance

Made a check list of things still do accomplish for DM prep for the two games. Exciting.

So, I retested Alkalinity and Calium with my new reagents. lol my old reagents were clearly expired. I overcorrected calcium and undercorrected alkalinity. My new test levels today will give me a proper base to test again sunday and calculate consumptio so I can manually dose in the aquarium.

One of my players has already played this module and another wants to play a local - it would be a problem if I didn’t fully know how to handle both of these things.

The biggest lingering pest problem in the aquarium has been bubble algae. I added 3 larger pithos crabs and they have managed to decimate about 25 of the algae in a week. Wow!

Deep breaths. Today’s maintenance on the aquarium is done. 12g water change, carbon change, socks change, skimmer cleaning, and… after no calcium or all testing for 2 years, the numbers testing and were insanely low - but now 477 Ca and 11.6 Dkh

Everyone has survived the night. I gambled with adding a copperband butterflyfish (striped fish on far left) - for those who don’t know, there is a more than 50% chance they will die transitioning to a new tank.

Major new animals added. Here is hoping they adjust and eat. Fingers crossed.

Just sat down and interviewed the CEO of Wolverine. That was pretty cool. 😎

Moved a few corals. Cleaned the lid. Started planning this Sunday’s maintenance. Gonna clean the wave makers again.

I was two years old when I learned how somersault was spelled.

I’ve never actually seen it written down or written it

Taking growth patterns into account, had to move a few corals. Should be good now.
November 26, 2025 at 2:54 PM
First “glamour shots” of the tank now that the corals are in. This is what the corals look like under only blue light.

Finally. Acros back in the tank. The vision of the aquarium is in place. Time to let it grow.
