My 72 Bowfront Build Revised Thread

I have been saying I will do that for a while, looks like next month.
 
This week winning numbers are?
Ca 450
Mg 1340
Alk 8.26
Po4 .04 ppm leaning towards the .03 ppm
No3 4 ppm
PH 8.16
Temp 78.4
Salinity conductivity 33.1 or 1.0249

Dosing 1+3+ 43 ml twice a day
Dosing 2+ 27 ml twice a day
Dosing 12 ml Np Pro auto doser
Dosing 12 ml Pro Bio S auto doser
 
Could you tell me a little bit more about the Aquaforest products your using. I see your dosing the pro bio s. How are you doing that? [emoji57]
 
''Pro Bio S auto dose experiment with one head of jabao dosing pump'' - you have about 280l and there is need to dose max 3 drops/day ... you dilute Pro Bio S ?
Yes, I diluted 50ml if Pro bio s in 2000 ml of RO/DI and dose 7 ml a day for 306 milers along with the NP Pro
 
It's an ideea but ProBioS need to be shaked before use. After you dilute the solution there is not decanted?
Hence my experiment. Here is the decanted/dosing container with the diluted pro bio S. Saw a slight film on top of the Pro Bio S and stirred it;) Could be that I would need a micro powerhead to stir it once a day.

Ca 450 back down the dose to 39 ml 2 x daily
Mg 1260 add Mg to bring it up to 1350
Alk 8.63 adjusted the dose down to 25 ml 2 x daily
No3 4
Po4 .04
I think I am going to adjust the batch of 1+ with more Mg and adjusting down the 1+ so that I come in at 420 Ca
 
By the numbers
Ca 450
Mg 1320
Alk 8.62
Po'4- .04
No'3 -4
 
Cleaning out the sump, skimmer, and 10 water change.
@john.m.cole3 @120reefkeeper question, is the higher up the skimmer is in the sump, will the skimmer work more efficient?

I think your best bet for skimmer height is to follow the manufacturers directions. Most if not all have a procedure for height. [emoji6]
