Update to the grumpy/stressed hammer. It’s looking better! Not 100% still, but still better.

I’m glad that at least the right head still has tissue and looks like it can come back. Slowly but surely.

Now… time to look at a doser to make sure all doesn’t swing like this again…

Well, I thought I was doing alright and I came back from camping a bit early to find my hammer isn’t doing as well as I thought.

We got it June 12 and I only just glued it on the 4th of July.

We moved it a couple times staying within the lower third and found that it looked fullest when it was where we placed it.

Well today, its polyps are way retracted and skeleton is in full view…don’t recall nor have a picture from the 10th when I did tank work.

I worked on getting the alk from a suspected bad batch of salt and got it up from low 6 up to 8.5 over the course of 2 weeks or so. We left for 3 days and it was 8.5 when we left and still at 8 when I tested today.

Slow dosing back to 8.5 to see if she’s grumpy.

After 44 days waiting for the tank to cycle, it’s been painfully testing my patience.

Wanted the tank to be ready for Black Friday for a LFS black firday sale, but time line didn’t agree.

Just pulled all inverts from QT this morning after letting a couple check it out for a day.

Clowns have been in for 4 days now and loving it.

Wife definitely helped keep me in check and not jump the gun.
