    Ati test result & what now?

    I dosed again Tuesday & then last night redsea B. Last night it was at 7.5 and I dosed enough for it to be around 8.5. Ill test tonight and see. I think in the 8's should be fine unless anyone thinks I should go higher for a buffer

    Gonipora bleached

    Update. All fish are coexisting well. The midas has backed off the bullying. Now I can't tell if the 6line is eating the flat worms because theirs a ton of them. However, she is looking chunky already so she's definitely eating something
