Bye Bye Mandarin
I woke up in the morning to find the Mandarin Goby on the table. The spotted mandarin is some kinda like a bottom/rock dwelling fish. It never swims freely in the water colum much so it was the last fish i'd ever expect to jump outta the tank. Mysterious death i have no idea why.
Realised that diluting the water actually had quite a serious adverse effect on the chemical concentrations so did a water change today to rectify that. Absent mindedly i forgot to turn on the chiller after i was done with everything so ambient temperature reached an all time high of 29deg. Thank goodness I noticed that. Found it strange that the cauliflower coral wasn't opening, touched the tank and realised that the water wasn't cool. If I had left it any longer, the heat from the lights could have just caused a bigger disaster.
Visited a very interesting shop today. Shopkeeper was super helpful, super friendly and gave me free coral polyps. Very tiny ones but it was a generous gesture I very much appreciated.
Mg and Ca levels are low, am trying ways to remedy that.
