Good morning everyone! Been up since 5:30 but I've been busy getting everything ready to head to Georgia to hunt. Then I had to show my friend that's going to pet sit for us how to do everything for all the critters. Getting ready to shower and head out I hope you all have an amazing weekend and I will check in when I can.

Hanna has my N:8-9 P:0.03-0.05 pretty consistently I test every Wednesday and Sunday

Been reading up on the redfield ratio but I’m not so sure for 10ppm nitrate it wants 0.45 phosphates……
Click to expand...
Researching Redfield made my eyes cross lol. It is what im loosely basing my goals on though. Right now it's -5 N03 and almost undetectable p04. Everything looks good, so im not super concerned. I just don't want to run everything too low. My nutrients have been harder to keep up since I lost my fish a few months ago
