PH 8 Alk 6 Cal 420

[Miami Reef]

I barely have any soft corals. Just a couple of tiny frags.

For water changes: I get Ocean Water delivered once a month. Had a water change a few weeks ago.

Are my levels low enough to warrant a change? I will say that I dosed 8ml vodka last week. I stopped dosing carbon because I removed my skimmer and I am growing cheato instead.

No coralline algae yet. But I dosed the spores of it recently.

The alkalinity is on the low side, but if using NSW and not dosing it will always be below 7.

As far as water changes that is probably more dependent on nutrient levels though.

You mention you stopped carbon dosing but said you dosed vodka last week? Maybe i just confused and mean you stopped any additional vodka dosing?

Thank you! I feel better knowing it’s not my fault!

Last week was my last dose of vodka.

How are your fishes feeling after a week of sobriety?

Haha. They are much more active (kidding)
