Happy Sunday!!
Alk is still stead at 8.3
Mg 1500 I was using a Red sea kit and it gave me a reading of 1200 Thursday. My Aquaforest MG test kit ran out and I have been using the RedSea test kit and the number have been all over the place. Two of my test tested low so I went with it. I could not for the life of me find a Aquaforest test kit local so I went with a salifert MG test kit and tested high. I backed off of dosing MG
Ca 475 and backed off of dosing Ca slightly
Nitrates 5
Phosphates .02 with the reintroduction of Oysterfeast, and R.O.E and the corals are look happier.

That is awesome and is so quiet....
Have you tried cross checking your mag with the Salifert kit?

With all the change that have been made in the past two months cyano had to rear its ugly head, and adding the extra aeration that is suggest for treatment.

Burt looks happy
Burt is now out mixing it up with the rest, he is a really good fit with the rest of the gang. The only time he is aggressive is during feeding time. He is a pig

I am pretty happy with the result of leaving the parameters alone 
Been busy of late and I have not had time to mess with things. and that is a good thing
Ca 449
Alk 7.6 bumped up dosing and dosed Kh buffer
Mg 1500 and that will fall back in line once the alk is back up
Nitrates we are going with a 10 ppm, the colors really have to go. Come on @Hanna Instruments
Phosphates .01 and I am going to let is ride and come back to .03 I think I am going to decrease the phosphate minus by half when I get a chance
Dt salinity .34 with the Hanna refractometer and has been steady for a few weeks now since I really know the Salinity My Apex is reading 37.9
The kids look happy and Sally need to be feed
Have a good rest of you Sunday all
