    Sometimes I feel sorry for my male clown. Puts up with so much of the Females OCD.

    He wants to explore but she quickly finds him and quickly corals him to the spot she has found. I can't move him before I move her.

    Come on our new home is over here:

    Already has him cleaning the rocks. I can usually tell when she is asleep cause he'll be exploring around the tank at night. She seems a lot happier out of the bare QT tank.

    Ugh, now she's digging a hole in the corner. I can see her doing it from the other room. As soon as I come into the room she runs away.

    Installed a white tile before she woke up in the morning

    Filled in her hole then installed the tile and dusted over with sand.

    She gave me the evil eye yesterday cause she thought I had just filled in her hole. I get home today and the tile is uncovered. She sees me and swims up to the glass. Not Happy.

    Thanks, She has been thwarted by the tile. Still digs around the edges.

    The dry rock got a diatom outbreak. Live Rock is clean. Did a 10gal water change.

    Dosed the Mag from 1200 to 1400. I can see the coraline on the LR popping in color. Stayed stable during the water change. Dunno what caused it to fall initially. Calcium is good too.
    Alk/PH has been a pain to keep up. Having to dose Buffer because my Calcium is 460~480. 2gals of 1+2 just sitting...
