    PAR meter rental

    Does anyone in the Metro Detroit area know if any places within 30 minutes of Roseville rent PAR meters? Trying to avoid buying one since I just have to test my 20g NANO.

    One last Outlet Available

    Scenario: I have one free outlet left in my system. My max Par at the highest point of my aquascape is 210. My tank consumes X amount of Calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, etc. And while .08 Phosphate and 20.3 Nitrate isn't terrible, every water change to reduce them resets Cal, Alk, etc.

    So what i have noticed whenever i place a small bag of activated carbon in my 100 gallon some zoas ( not all) and some other corals seem to close up a bit.
