right on dont have to worry about falling into the ocean

idk; the undertow on the third coast is quite bad...

 

[Nate Chalk]

Still dunno what's upsetting the zoas. Maybe the upset nepthea??

Shrunk down and thinning.

Only some.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Okay so... Khg reading 10.5-11 Hannah reading 6.8-7.

Yikes.

Alk drifted low low. Odd need to do some research.

 

[fishguy242]

I'd bet it's around 8.5 - 9 ,but retest before changing things

Popped open a new test reagent just to make sure. 6.8 again.

Eek.

That's what I'm trying to figure out now.

There's an adjustment , I'm maxed out on.

Their FB page is super helpful hoping for some help there....

Going old fashioned as @Stang67 suggested baking soda in top off and let it go

 

[Nate Chalk]

Woah

It is cool. Always looking for the gadgets etc. Didn't look at price or anything like that yet.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Running through support now on KHG, Alex and community are the best.

Did due diligence again on hannah. Changed batteries, did a fresh reagent, tested 3 times. Came in at 7 this morning after doing some manual dosing yesterday. Going slow on alk. 7 isnt horrible just rather be in the 8.5-9 range

blackish brown showing up on the nepthea again. I think it being in distress is stressing others out some. Running carbon.

Letting it ride now... Its in a better spot that it liked before. Would Cipro work in this instance? @Lost in the Sauce @F i s h y , this is the only reason i have the medication

 

[fishguy242]

No, clean up,iodine based dip mod to high flow , preferably torward overflow

I don't know for sure, but I do not think so.

Good call running carbon. Stressed leathers release terpenes into the water which can and do bother other corals.

You're going to have to get aggressive with it, Nate. Cut back any infected areas, You can do an iodine dip after, and get it into medium high flow.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Ty! Just got off a nice aggressive work call. Im in the mood

Terps in the water! jk jk

 

[Nate Chalk]

Cleaned impellers, still amazed at difference in flow. Between clean and not clean.

Lights stayed on last night lost connection to wifi. Have a feeling we will have some tired fish and corals today.

Still waiting on orphek controller to release. Using cheap smart outlets atm.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Alk test soonish. Khg was +0.7 so we will see with Hannah

 

[Projects with Sam]

probably more consumption because of the endless summer.

1000th! post! I'm told I need to post some bouncing teets!
