Hello Tom!
How are you?
I am here to post some news:animated_fish_swimm
First I added some algae in my refugium to help lower my nitrate:

everything is doing fine! But I noticed after buying my missing test kits that my parameters were in a mess! Ca above 900 and an undetectable kH,I begun dosing as I cited before,I then transferred to powder kH the liquid ones didn't have any effect I needed a lot to raise it. After a couple of weeks I succeeded into getting the kH into his rightful place about 8,and I am still dosing kH every week because my Ca is still high,but thankfully not as much as before,as lowering the Ca my kH is also being lowered that's why I am dosing frequently kH.
As a result my torch coral is doing great!! I never imagined that I could save it!

I am planning to remove the leather on the right of the tank,it is really a large one! and not that much of a beauty.. I am also planning to remove the elephant ear mushroom or to place it in a corner it is also so big for the place where it is right now,it is killing the geometry(?) of the tank aquascaping.
I am planning to begin some SPS very soon just waiting to get my Ca into its place! a matter of 1-2weeks.
For the fish side,I didn't lose any fish except the female anthias that was attacked by ich due to the cutoff of electricity otherwise everyone is doing great! I added 4 wrasses I honestly don't know the exact name of them.. but between them I have fairy wrasses and a cleaner wrasse.
I also added a yellow hogfish.
Here is a picture that reunite the 3 new fish(there is still 2 wrasses hiding) the yellow one is the hogfish the pink one is the fairy wrasse and the other one is the cleaner wrasse,I know the last one won't live for long time :/ ..
