Current fts , feels weird not having a torch now lol but I do like how the anemones are now the focus which is what I intended, may be trading off the last of the sps for a green LTA I think it’s for the better as my anemones are starting to take up most real estate

Bumped but I'm back.

Did you get the alk settled?
 
Yesterday I’m at 9.8dkh , so yes lol I think I’ve just stopped dosing / kalk as now nothing really eats alk / cal.
The nems will I've found. I have nowhere near enough clean up crew in the anenome tank to deplete the amount of bicarbonate I add yet it's constantly dropping lower than expected.
 
pretty crazy ! Alk went from 13.8 to 9.8 in 12 days with no dosing , just topping off rodi. 4dkh drop in 12 days , so my system is consuming 1dkh every 3 days, interesting it does seem high for having very little sps
 
Anemones looking good this am , happy Saturday!
