Manually installed the latest rakudo tar on my Mac and all my raku scripts are working again!

This brings to an end the docker fix I was doing.

Blog post in the works on flow and tidal simulation in my reef tank. Creating a 3D model of my aquarium to illustrate flow patterns.

Fun to dip back into subdivision surface modeling after a long time.

Discovered graphviz today. Super helpful for graphing complex logic flows right from the command line. No GUI!

Tough day on the reef. My large Orange Montipora plate and Strawberry Shortcake Acropora decided to go thermonuclear and kill each other. Flesh on both melted away in 42hrs. 💀🤯. As a result of the chaos a stylo frag also died. Removed what was left from the tank and refreshed my carbon reactor. Hopefully everything will be fine. Will follow up with a water chance once I get more salt.

Do I know how to write cron statements by heart? No. Do I know about https://crontab.guru yes.

Starting copper treatment in QT tank. Ивана, Ivana, the brown Scopas Tang has shown no signs of disease/parasites but can’t be to carful.

Original plan was two weeks of copper medication but thinking of reducing that to one as she is so healthy. She is eating pellet food and nori without issue.

Can't say enough good things about Affinity Photo. You pay once and still get updates years later. Has everything Photoshop does except the ball and chain subscription plan.

Someone in the Munich Reef Hobbyist WhatApp chat asked about coral glue. This is the one I use: Microbe-Lift Reef Scraper. Rather than a glue it is more of a plastic that melts at ~55°C. Applications is pretty easy:

- heat some water in the tea kettle to ~63°C
- put in a pinch of the plastic beads or an old chunk from the aquarium. (Yes it is reusable)
- let sit for few min
- it will be nearly translucent when it is ready to set
- wrap the base of your coral and place it on your rock structure holding it in place for ~3-5min. This takes bit of patience, but once it's set it holds incredibly well.
- wait another 10min before turning flow pumps back on to give it time to completely set.

Brought the Fungia up to the frag rack for closer inspection. Turns out those intruder polyps are more Fungia! Three more! Confirmed with other hobbyist.

I'll place them somewhere else in the rockscape and let them grow out. False alarm.

Saw an epic Ragnar Axelsson photo exhibition this week. It documents the ring of nations around the Arctic. Makes me want to do a ski tour expedition to Greenland.

Say hello to and awesome gift from my wife, Brown Scopas Tang.

He’s now in quarantine tank learning how to eat normally before I start copper treatment. Estimate date to add to made tank is February 26th. 🤞

Really committed good health in QT this time with daily 10% water chances.
