That's quite a move! 10 kh is good -- I somehow missed it in your post.Thank you! Is kh not alkalinity? Mine is 10. Weirdly you're in my old home town - I moved from Chicago to near London years ago.
Ah, I typed an essay lol. Yes, I suppose it is, been here all of my adult life so it feels like the norm really. My mother's still on the South side where I grew up, my Father's on the North side now. I'm going to set him up a reef tank when I'm next over visiting, he got my into fish keeping as a kid but never had the confidence for marine and while I'm fairly new to it I've set up all of mine DIY. can you suggest any good places to look for second hand equipment and tanks and good marine shops in Chicago? Have a good New year in any case
Thank you, it's a relief to know I don't need to be chasing lower PO4 and higher ph and kh, just keep up WC and dose some Mg and Ca I guess. Awesome looking tank! Are the two large, light coloured ones at the top Caulastraea? Anyway, happy new year!
Yes, chasing numbers will drive you crazy just try to get a routine maintenance schedule set I only dose kh & ca everything thing else stays consistent with my water changes. I do 20 gal every 3 weeks on my 120 worked since 1980Thank you, it's a relief to know I don't need to be chasing lower PO4 and higher ph and kh, just keep up WC and dose some Mg and Ca I guess.
