You may want to make sure its accurate. I read recently somewhere even if the ph in the kalk container is 12.1. The saturation is week. I could be wrong but I think randy Holmes said it and thinking maybe it's the reason you have to dose so much
Not sure how chris can keep his PH at 14.4 when the max saturation is 12.4 in newly mixed Kalk, I wonder if he is dosing vinegar or something - so what your doing is correct. I want to get some fresh air into the basement or behind the tank. Obviously the humidity would be an issue so thinking...
I feel like the Ugly phase is slowly phasing out. I did add 8 additional turbo snails so total of 14 snails, and 2 large urchin.
They are surely helping but I can just tell the algae is not growing back as fast as it was before. I may add Zoas today to the display as I feel they may do better...
Need some suggestion. I just set it for 100ml per 24 hour and it doses continuous 4-5 ML per hour. The Alk droped to 6.9 DKH so yesterday night I increased to 150 ML per day. I'll test my alk tonight and see if it increases or not. I forgot the rule on PH increase per dose but this is the...
Yeah it gives me the option to change up the tank and remove incase I put something in the wrong spot - Or just remove the need to acclimate them on the glass with a frag rack! I prefer the look when all the corals are the same or similar size so soon as something gets too big I can easily...
Finally hooked up Kalk to my QT, I have 2 outlets so i can use it for display later.
My QT alk came down to 7DKH. At least I know corals are doing something.
For starters I am dosing 65ML per 24 hours with the versa pump.
This will be my kalk container for both QT and display. The have those metal air tight lids which should be ideal for kalk. I have 3 of these containers and have 65 gallon I can use later if needed
I got my PAR meter to work (finally) and tested the PAR in my QT. I was shocked to see my SPS where in very low PAR, maybe 30-45 Range and Zoas and LPS are even lower. I kind of suspected low light with the way the Zoas where opening wide to get light. I bumped the intensity to 80% and SPS...
Yesterday I decided to add 30 ML of muratic acid to about 10 gallons of saltwater and PH dropped to 3.6 Today its at 4.0 - I am curious to see how long it takes to get back up and safely do a waterchange to bring the alk to 7-8dkh.
I'll run a test with this water and see how many gallons at...
I am going to florida for 8 days. (Pompao Beach, cape coral, and orlando)
I am going to live my best life in Florida When I went to Orlando in 2018 I bought this really thick thermal from WWC to smuggle my acros back on the plane. this think kept the temperature of the water spot on the...
never heard of Loudwolf sodium, do you know if that brings down the PH or can be used immediately after dosing?
I have to do the same on big tank as the Alks at 10DKH.
Muratic acid is the only thing i can use effectively right now. My game plan is have 2 large 65 gallon barrels and bring down...
How long have you been using it? What are you dosing with it? They are actually out of stock, Thankfully that pet place had them and I probably should buy one more before the price goes up t $250, which it surely will.
