I glued in the coral! The cloves remain moody. I’ve moved the light a little so it’s not directly over them

It’s incredible seeing how much they expand and contract throughout the day

I just tested for NO3 for the first time. It’s untraceable. The “fresh” water is 10 ppm. It’s been five days since the last water change, and I’ve only really been changing the water once ever two weeks. So I reckon, it’s been bottoming out for over a week a time. The cloves have been looking a bit discolored, but I’d write that of as nothing.

Guess I’ll start keeping up with water changes and feeding more often and heavier and see how that goes

Looks pretty active. Is it possible to introduce a small fish or something live? I was watching something on closed biospheres. Literally a mini ecosystem complete sealed off from everything inside a large, sealed glass bottle. They introduced a fly larva if I remember correctly z it was needed to keep the cycle going. One had 60+ years in one bottle.

Wow, thanks amazing! I mean, I guess you could add a fish theoretically. It seems a bit small though, and I don’t intend to

Consider a shrimp to clean up uneaten food.
