Made Randy’s recipe #1. Dosed it into the 8s and then it kind of stopped Rising. Was doing 25ml at a time, 3x a day to increase by 1dkh. Did my weekly 10% and was at 8.1. Then only checked the for 2 days following and had a reduction of 0.4 each day. Currently sitting at 7.3. To maintain the...

...102 LEDs) Kessil a500x: $740 (185 W, 100 LEDs) CC: $900 (170 W, 68 LEDs) GHL: $820 (195 W, 72 LEDs) Everything else is speculation until we see the #’s. The only place that has given a consistent data set of data on a broad set of lights is BRS... so that is the video I am looking forward too.

...should match the readings on the calibration bottle that you entered. I’m not sure if the calibration fluid is specific to the reagent lot #’s that it came with. I always calibrate using everything from the same box - no reason not to. It is recommended that you calibrate each time you...

So far it seems to be working. Trident numbers are a little lower than Hanna #’s but it’s only been day and a half since it’s been running. Still need to calibrate trident

Which post #’s should I read to understand what sample was tested that gave an unexpected result. I tried a quick scan but failed to follow the story.

...they all give me the same results (high nitrates). This tank has been running for 15 years. Inhabitants are happy granted its mostly lps, softies, and fish. I would like to throw in some sps in there someday but with my current #’s I can’t. Can you guys add other suggestions where it’s coming...

Hi, My first recommendation, if you have not done so is to test your tank. You may have some high #’s contributing to the outbreak.

...factor is needed afterwards to achieve dkh value using the HI755s reagent. (I seem to have bought caco3 instead of dkh reagent by mistake) There’s something strange about my readings with the new reagent...and is what made me realize the difference in part numbers. Again, I understand...

I LOVE!! my Hanna checkers. I would much rather look at #’s than colors. I use the alk, calcium, ULR phosphorus and all are easy to use. Main thing with calcium one is follow the directions once you do it a few times it gets easy. I will admit I have seen the #’s a little on the higher end but...

Hi, I am so sorry about this. I would not want to venture a guess right now. As mentioned I would recommend carbon, water change, get surface agition up for O2 exchange and run a full test of the main #’s. If you have a chemipad that would be good too.

...anything so alarming I would start immediate water changes or anything like that. You made some changes that should be expected to impact your #’s. I would not overly worry about the ph, or even alk too much. Rapid alk shifts are more concerning than PH. The change have been made, I would now...

The settings for a 5 may be a bit strong, but again that is just going off #’s. @Homebrewer had a great writeup about the Nero. Maybe he can chime if available

...or go back to a prior flow that you had better results from. Personally, I am not a fan of pulse. If I run something like that it would be 45 seconds on, 15 off. Maybe someone running you pump will chime in since I am just going based off flow #’s and not hands on, but your set up sounds ok.

...the DE. I put the intake and return right in the tank. After an hour the water was clear and the cartridge would be full of fish poo and other detris. My #’s tonight were PH 8.15, ALK 6.4, Po4 .03, No3 5, Ca 420, MG 1320. I was feeding the tank 6 cubes a night for my sweetlips and other guys.

...nutrient environ which the tank definitely was when I sent this sample both in po4 and no3. With no3 around 20ish and po4 back to .05 ( real #’s are higher with the gha of course atm) be interesting next sample results tho once some more dies off. I get an email in a few days with Eli’s...

Chasing #’s can and will make things harder... I agree with @SCReef’n 8 alk is a good # and if you bring any of those #’s up or down too fast it will negatively impact the tank

Hello, Tank looks great, leather is awesome. I think right there is the major nutrient guzzler. Sorry if I missed. i Saw number for stability. What are you dosing or using to keep stable all the other #’s. (How are you keeping calcium,alk,mag all those stable)

...fish are in I would first get back into your routine and you usual parameters. If you are running the skimmer, leave it like fish guy said. Your #’s now look ok. If your numbers stay stable I would battle with cleaning and a good CuC first. (Edit-for cyano. the bugs may be the cause of the...

Wrap up. I did a water change yesterday. I have to checked #’s since Monday. I’ll will check on Monday or Tuesday to be sure my dosing is still set correctly. Results were mixed. I never saw a feeding response from some of the coral like I did during this trial. I did get some good plating from...

...with a cup. Now I have Phosban in there. I want to be careful once I get into the lower numbers not to strip it. The BRS stuff is powerful. My #’s right now are SG 1.23 ph 8.1 ALk 10.2 Calc 480 Mag 1360 No3 15 A big water change next week, done with gfo, and back to regular dosing shoul...

...lights and turn the primes with red only and take a pic. That has to be awesome. I see you are running lots of carbon dosing along with nutrient export, can you post your current #’s. Ps. You freaked me out posting 1 year later. I was like, I don’t remember that last week, what’s the heck? :p

Hey, I have that same question :D Ati puts out a bit more power on the 80 watt version. I cant remember where I came across the #’s but it was only by about 4-5 watts. I have read mixed reviews with Giesemann being better for color. so, I actually have a Giesemann actinic sitting at my door...

...long time don’t make changes. What is your alk, if your alk is on the low side I would think so would the calc so they would be balanced, but that’s not a 100% thing. Get an icp test done, before you send out the sample run your own tests and write down the #’s to see who is right. Also, have...

Any big page #’s to look out for today ? @WWC

Water #’s Salinity (waiting on refactometer from BRS) but cheap tester has within range. Prepared Water was PH - 8.4 Ammonia- 0.0 PPM Nitrates - 0.0 PPM Nitrites - 0.0 PPM when mixed with seller water and tested last night. PH - 8.1 Ammonia- .25 PPM Nitrates - 0.0 PPM Nitrites - 0.0 PPM I...
