so apparently 'a small reef' just means more test kits and less sleep. wrasses hide in the dragon stone, chalice's coloring up nicely.

ugh, algae
fighting some kind of green film/hair algae combo right now. pretty sure it's from me overdosing a bit trying to keep alk stable, salifert test said I was low so I panicked and added more than I should've. cutting back and doing a bigger water change this week.
Note
first fish
added the six line wrasse today. floated the- ok, acclimated slow, drip line for about 45 min before he went in. he bolted straight into the rockwork and I didn't see him again for like 3 hours, classic wrasse behavior I guess. coralline's finally showing up on the rock too.
