The Mediocreef

A couple of points:
I might take a look at the moonshiners method again. I don't like water changes and i can only make about 5 gallons at a time.

I will likely end the foxy and angel qt this weekend. I'm sure it hasn't been 30 days of copper, but it has been 3 weeks and haven't seen anything. Anyone know NY Aquatics qt policies? I could probably email them, but shouting into the void is more fun.

sell as fast as they can ,from what i know...
well worth wait ,and keep the copper level stable.
no worth risk IMO...

I have sent these guys messages and never got a response. So... I don't even try anymore ... But let me know if you do and if they respond.

I'm sure he's good at other things.

I emailed after almost a week from ordering about shipping, no response from them but did get one from shop about a label being created.

tested:
n 24.5
p .14
alk 119 (confirmed with a second test)
cal 380-400

I need to continue to pay attention to alk. maybe a doser is in my future.

Im not good at translating this "alk 119"

If this is 11dhk, it's a bit high for running a mixed reef. It's good for sps though. But that's a long post.

shoulda said ppm
119 ppm (x.056) = 6.664 dkh

chart matches, 116ppm is 6.5 dhk. I like that chart though, adding meq/l is helpful because that's the unit my alk has as its reference. so many units.

what confuses you?

You dont want to go higher

 

[Goaway]

Im assuming you wanted to go higher.

I do want it raised. I might shoot for around 8dkh. I dosed some last night after the test. tonight will dose calc and test alk again. I was losing 2ppm a day, but with yesterday's reading, I think that may be low.

Fw is back. Got drips on the front but when don't I? Time to let it grow in.

Looking good. Going to be really nice once it starts filling in!

Thanks. I kept it sparse so I have at least 6 months before I'm overgrown.

Forgive me if you mentioned it and I missed it but what lights are you using?

Don't think I've mentioned it before because I had to go searching for it.
