I have DSA 210 and PM R36+ sump. 150lbs of Fiji.
Recently cycled with DT one and only. Have only CUC in the tank. Diatom bloom about 10 days ago but has since gone. Just little tuffs of the green stuff. CUC is 20x Trochus, 4x Mithrax, 2x Tiger Conch, 1x Cleaner shrimp and 1x Blood Shrimp.. Also have cheato tumbling in fuge section.
The tank will predominantly be SPS but I'm not adding any corals for a while yet.
Tested using Red Sea test kits, with reference to lab grade probes and Milwaukee refractometer. Salt I am using is Brightwell Neomarine.
Basically after some opinions or advice if needed.
Parameters are based on temp swings of 77.8 - 78.1
Refractometer - SG 1.026, 35ppt respectively
Apex - Condx4 - 34.4
Ph- Apex - 8.06 evening, 7.95 morning
Ph- RS - 8.2
NH4 - 0
NO2 - 0
NO3 - 10
PO4 - 0 Hanna Checker
Ca - 400
KH - 7 dKh
Mg - 1340
ORP - 300 just a reference
Like I said no fish yet but will be added soon.
Probes and test kits show slight variation but a calibration maybe required.
I have recently started to top up with kalkwasser in Tunze ATO. Approx ¼ tsp per gallon.
Any opinions on my chemistry?!?!
