00W's AIO Smorgasbord

I use salifert test kits, plus my color judgment may be off, but its close

I can't even see any blue until close to 0.5-0.6 on the phosphate Salifert.

 

[ShakeyGizzard]

Mine are flashing at 0.90 right now. I shoot for 0.14-0.2 so that's a good number. Nitrates should be around 25-50 with phosphates at 0.25. I gotta bring mine up - 10.4 nitrates at 1.0 phosphates is not a good number. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

I'm dosing Ammonium which drops nitrates temporarily.

taking note of this, I dropped into double zeros there fora good bit

 

[ShakeyGizzard]

I'm due for testing in the morning, can post it here

 

[kevgib67]

they probably just dropped from the water change, i use I.O. reef crystals, mag and calcium probably ok, plus I dose AFR. The nitrates where higher, what's a good number ?

Well, I always use to aim for phosphate of .05-.1 and nitrates 10-15 but I gave up and my tank runs at phosphates .25 and nitrates 25 for as long as I can remember.

Which is a great ratio.

 

[kevgib67]

right at 100 PAR were it is, light schedule was shortened with dinos, slowly bringing is back up , i'm at 9 hrs lighting now

I think it will be happier with a par of 150-200.

It's crazy how several of us are having issues with our tanks or their inhabitants at the same time.

Mine are sitting on a truck in southern maine as we go below 0.

I got slack on my testing, figured that keeping the chato at softball size and regular water changes was good, went 2 weeks without testing and hit double zeros, cutting my fuge light time did nothing, but my dinos are in check, and raised my filter roller level sensor up to max.

So sorry Paul

can do that, may have to move some of the corals on islands below to the edges of the tank

can gonies take that level PAR , if not I can move the torch and adjust flow as needed

Gonies can be in 75-150 but let someone else who has some chime in, I’ve never had any.

Fixing to hit the sack, I will try to get overall tank pics under white light in the morning, plus post my testing. even the vials themselves in case I'm way off with my judgment, night everyone

Amanda, thanks for talking me off the ledge earlier, they are staying in the acclimation box until they molt one more time. On the days I work I spot feed them 3 times and on the days I’m off 4 times so it shouldn’t be long, I’m thinking next weekend.

 

[luis angel]

Sorry to hear. In other news,my Favias have been going the way of Luis's... Just caught the Foxface having some nibbles... :face-with-rolling-eyes: I guess no more Favias, the Foxface stays.

Sorry to hear that Tim

 

[Üter]

So sorry Paul

My fault really. It was a warm week. Should have been here Friday. Might file a claim against usps for this one. 3 days after original expected?

 

[Nor'easter Reefer]

Enhance the feed with THC and give them the munchies. They’ll fatten right up!
