Here we go again 🙄 - let’s re-get this system going
- Thread starter 1mbrews8
- Start date
$300 6pc Blue Light Special Battle Box from Battlecorals unboxing!
Looks good, might I suggest turning off the pumps when you do the frag tank shot?
Yep! Thought about that after doing it lol
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... finally having a bit o time again to attempt to get back up to snuff...
Haven't done really anything for quite some time other than RODI and feeding fish every so often lol
Fish are all still good, some crabs, snails, couple Jawbreakers, wwc OG's, sunkist/frankenstines, and maybe some un opened z/p... as well as, of course... gsp lol
exp Alk hanna was in the 5's, phos at 0, started stirring sand bed and cleaning old coral and junk out about a week or 2 ago.
the good news?
Nitrates were "only" at like 110!!! As opposed to the 200 that I was getting that kinda de-motivated me before.
- sal is 1.024 with Milwaukie tester
- have been dosing ALK slowly just in case, cleaning sand bed every other day or so to get some balance to the phos, started dosing a bit of TSP too
- now is at ALK is 6.16 (WC water is also low from sitting mixing forever, so might do a big WC after stirring sand more and THEN upping alk vs trying to get all the brutes the same alk..?)
- nitrates are at 86.8
- phos were still 0.00 on testing but have been at .01 after some prior sand bed stirs
- opened but not exp salifert calcium not showing any today? Going to dose some before bed to see if anything shows tomorrow
Stay tuned!
