Red Sea 425XL Build, Colorado

Well I have certainly gotten lazy with the testing. It has been over a month since my last round of testing.

Salinity 1.025
Calcium 423
Phosphate 0.10
Alkalinity 6.9
Magnesium 1530 +
Nitrates 40ppm +

Since Alkalinity is so low, I will test alk again after water change, and dose some If needed.

Edit: I discovered my dosing pumps were not running. I did the water change, dosed 10ml of Red See Alk from the +1 +2 +3 kit, and th3 next morning I was at Alk reading of 7.2 I added 2 Table spoon of marine buffer into the sump so it would slowly enter display, and tested at Alk of 9.1 that was more of a jump then I wanted to make in a 12 hour period, but everything seems plenty happy in the tank.

I have not updated In a while. We were going to sell our house while the market was screaming, so we moved the tanks to the shop:

Most everything survived pretty well. I lost one torch, one dart fish, and one leapord pleco. The positive is now I have room for a proper water station.
