my ph sure drops without any alkalinity being dosed. the average daily swing used to be 8-8.25 and is now 7.9-8.
that was the reading for the day lol.
I hope you did not drop anything yesterday in the tank...Lol I think currently I am correcting parameters for too many tanks so got a bit confused. ...
yes i noticed your job is getting a little busierI hope you did not drop anything yesterday in the tank...Lol I think currently I am correcting parameters for too many tanks so got a bit confused. ...
that is why i tag you and give you the change over 24 hours. it keeps it manageable for you and keeps it organized for me.
Whats your NO3 and PO4 now?
Lol....yeah at first it looks like that but in reality its not like that.If you want we can help but we will need your system details and your goal and some other things.I skimmed through this and it gave me way too many questions. I looked on the AF site and they have 432 different things to dose! Holy cow.
I was thinking about the components 123 instead of the 2 part I am used to but now I am more confused.
my nitrates are sitting at .25ppm.
To start with every parameter of your tank. total water volume, Ca, Mg, Alk, No3, Po4, pH, Temp, light schedule, current 2 parts consumption rate, number of fishes, what you feed, how you control nutrients etc.
So here is the funny thing, I faced the same problem when I started using the pro bio S and NP pro. Whenever you see a little decrease in your NO3 level you Alk jumps a bit. Randy helped me to understand this process which I will explain to you when we do the calculation. But for the time being no dosing. Just let it sit there.
125 gallons
Great. How you want the system to be run? Like ultra low nutrient system or normal with a bit of nutrient. Do you want to follow the full product line or you have some selective choices?125 gallons
CA 450
Mg 1260
Alk 7.6
No3 zero but I don't buy it
Po4 .08
PH 7.98 to 8.13
Temp 78
3 radion xr15pro running about and 4 5't5
All small frags so low consumption
Brs 2 part CA and Alk 10ml Mg 3ml
15 fish biggest being foxface
Feed one time daily one cube mysis or pellet
Lets start from basic. AF is based on two different aspect of reef keeping. First, use of probiotics to maintain a low nutrient environment and supplement controlled nutrient to feed corals and control their growth and colour pattern etc. Second, a complete balling solution for supplementing all elements together to maintain a balanced chemical environment for growth and colour. So, all the dosing are targeted to do that.
You started using the Pro bio S and NP pro right. It will be like that for sometime. You added a extra parameter so others will get affected by it. Let it sit . Also it will be a good idea to do a 10% water change tomorrow or Monday.
