Tried and true passwords manager. Been using it for few years now. 👍. Main caveat, I don’t do online shopping on my phone so being more restricted to desktop is fine for me.

@hecanjog What watch you rocking?

So far maintaining a stable alkalinity in the reef has been a real challenge. I only have three small corals, 5 fish, and rock but somehow I lose 1 dKH per day.

I’ve started with manual daily doses Red Sea part B to keep it up to the recommended 11/10 dKH. Quite a ways from the 5ish dKH of my RODI water. Daily testing and dosing was a pain. I learned 10 dKH for my system is just not practical. Maybe some day for accelerated SPS growth but for now 8 dKH of ocean water would do.

Next I tried Kalkwasser, complete with a diy dripper. Unfortunately it make quite a mess and didn’t maintain and alkalinity of 7 dKH. 🤷‍♂️. My theory, not enough co2 inhibiting carbonic acid + calcium hydroxide alkalinity raise.

Now I’ve gone back to the RedSea Part B but this time slowly dosing it via a Aqua medic Evo 4 dosing pump. After a week of tinkering I’ve got it maintaining a pretty close to 8 dKH with a loss of .1 dKH per day. 👌

In the coming weeks I’ll try to stabilize that even further and automate my calcium dosing as well. All in prep for more sensitive corals.

Congratulations to ink team on ink version 1.0 release. I’ve used it in the past to write interactive art projects. Narrative scripting is super run.

My third coral, a Rhodactis mushroom. In this clip it’s trying to eat a shrimp molt with a snail close by.

Slowly building out my coral collection. This is an Euphyllia, frog spawn I believe.

Time to trim back the chaetomorpha. Goodbye nitrates.

Watched American Animals last night. The trailer made it seem like a true crime kind of robbery thriller but it actually had a mixed in documentary style. Not bad. 🇺🇸

Notions is too slow, Obsidian does not have German spell check support. 😟 Stumbled across https://nesslabs.com/roam-research-alternatives going to give org-roam a try.

@SkinnyFeels Ahh cool thanks for posting. I'll try obsidian.md. Notion is getting to laggy for me. I was using vimwiki and before that org mode. Why do I change every six months.

So many cli tools have been rewritten in rust and are now easier to use.

Ich habe Spuren von Kalkrotalge gefunden!

Ich habe sie bei HP-Aquaristik gekauft. HP ist mein Lieblingsaquaristikladen. Er hat saubere Becken und gesunde Tiere. Der Laden in der Nähe von München, aber sie haben auch einen Online-Shop. https://www.hp-aquaristik.de

Es ist eine Flötenkoralle oder auf Englisch "candy cane coral". Wissenschaftliche Name: Caulastraea furcata. Sie ist einfach, aber weil es eine LPS-Koralle ist, braucht sie gutes Wasser. Alkalinität, Calcium, und Magnesium müssen korrekt sein.

Während der Reinigung / Korallen Vorbereitung, ist die Koralle geplatzt. Ich mache meinen starken Daumen dafür verantwortlich. Das nächste Mal werde ich Werkzeuge benutzen.

Heute haben sich die Polypen geöffnet! Die Koralle ist noch nicht gesund aber, hoffentlich bald.

Mehr Infos gibt es auf https://www.meerwasser-lexikon.de/tiere/680_Caulastraea_furcata.htm#

Tidal Gardens hat ein gutes Video über Flötenkoralle.
