That is always a great feeling when the coral and animals in our tank begin to really look happy!

No bagged dirt, so I’ll grab some next time I’m at the store.

Dirt acquired.
The brand is Miracle-Gro Performance Organics, and the ingredients check out. The problem is the stuff FLOATS, so I have it soaking in a bucket until it all sinks. |

Soaking is good for other reasons too. When soil is submerged, it kicks off all kinds of chemical reactions. So there's no rush.

Very good, I will be interested in how you add it to your tank.

Shoot, it's been a while! I still haven't added the dirt, because to be honest I completely forgot about it. I had it soaking in a bucket in the basement, and it's definitely waterlogged by now. I'll be adding it tomorrow probably!
The tank experienced several happy days of growth, but now things are slowing down again. At this point I have no idea what to do, because I've already done multiple huge water changes and an ICP test, and the Cuprisorb doesn't seem to be doing much as it hasn't changed color. I'm not adding anything weird to the tank, and the nutrient levels aren't too high. The monti caps are doing great, at least... |

How's that Blue Tang doing? Still avoiding the salad bar?
