00W's AIO Smorgasbord

Late lunch but....

My hammer has not been opening much at all over the past week. It did just split. All my parameters are fine, besides my mag. It's low at around 1250. Like I've said, I am going on vacation, so I don't have time to order anything where it'll get here soon enough to dose, and see if my hammer opens again. Is there any way I can raise it now (like for example baking soda for alk)?

I didn't take pictures either because I'm a horrible person or because I didn't want everyone to be jealous - take your pick... BUT I had Cafe Rio tacos for lunch. Sweet Pork Barbacoa with lettuce, cilantro, and cotija cheese with a side of cilantro lime rice and black beans. Washed it down with a housemade (in the store...?) Mint Limeade.

Which magnesium do you dose?

 

[WalkerLovesTheOcean]

Which magnesium do you dose?

None at the moment.

 

[WalkerLovesTheOcean]

Maybe it's fine though. It's not too bad.

Maybe it's just saving energy? My Duncan just did the same thing where it closed for a few days because it was growing so much.

 

[luis angel]

None at the moment.

Any lfs near that you can buy any bottle of mag, Red Sea for example.

What does your salt say magnesium should mix to? My Fritz RPM said 1350, since my magnesium was lower I tested a fresh mixed batch and sure enough it was 1350. Since my torches, hammers and frogspawn seem to thrive at about 1400 I does with a bottle from my lfs. I could let you know the brand when I get home.

I’m not surprised, the state of Georgia is really cracking down on people from Florida crossing into their state, especially snow birds where you have no idea the state or country ( I’m looking at you Canada) of origin.

 

[kevgib67]

1390.

Amount and how often do you do water changes?

 

[luis angel]

1390.

We use the same salt I think and at 1.026 sg mix at 1310 mag

 

[WalkerLovesTheOcean]

Amount and how often do you do water changes?

Mint limeade sounds like a virgin mojito to me.
