Happy Thanksgiving
Had a nice day, sure hope you did too.

Can't remember the last water change date
Nitrates:
At first, the Hanna HR Checker was nailing Salifert.
Then they started to really rise. Salifert looked to be coming in at 40ppm, but the HR Checker hit 71.2ppm. The Hanna takes 7 mins to test the final results, then I noticed if you let Salifert sit for 7 mins (not just 3) it does get up there??
Well,
Finally took the cal reactor offline (no flow) and broke it down for storage. Yes ph levels have gone up.
Put on a dimmer and a Ehiem 550 gph on to the Pax Bellium algae reactor.
Have no clue if getting the cal reactor's media out of the equation or if the Pax Bellum kicked in, but we're down over 20ppm in nitrates within two weeks. We'll just keep letting things roll... ;Writing
We have been on AF Comp Pro balling for a while.
Alk and Cal's doses have both been locked in at 45mls per day of each.
The first time I balled the part 3 had no effect on true mag. test results.
Not sure about this new Pro version. When mag lowers to around 1350ppm (lol) we'll try a 45ml dose of Comp 3.
I can honestly say that the coral colors have really kicked in, but they did the same thing with AF's original full Balling formula back in late 2015.
Took a good while, but phos hit .13ppm. We just started to very slightly tumble some GFO.
ReefDose 4
So, far so good. This app really does the job, you just have to follow each screen's institutions to get it set up. I picked it to dose over a 24 hour period. It does divide the daily dose by 24 then doses that number each hour and separates alk, cal a mag does by 10 min apart from each other.
Did a one dose test:
Told cal to do a one-time dose of 45mls and did the same thing with alk.
Went back to the home screen. After 10 min it dosed 45 mls of cal, ten min. later it dosed 45 mls of alk, then it picked up on the 24-hour tiny hourly dose.
One negative, to this point:
The tubing is a funky ID and you may need to DIY to make the holding tank's connection to a hard tube pipe... ;Wacky
Quick (rough) top-down. below the S-Series power center/compartment.
Pink - cal Comp 1/ Blue - alk Comp 2 / Green - Mag Comp 3
