idk if they were ever really out(nitrates were bottoming maybe only was a guess. tested low). Carbon not running was probably not the best...

I haven't retested, but things look good visually still.

Only thing now looking unpleased is an octo and a stubborn goni ive had for awhile lol

Tested today. Even after the dookie festival. ( Dumping the skimmer)

0.05N, upping the dosage

Windows open threw the growth into overdrive. Wow.

Erv is doing its thing starting now!

Big help from Kyle, local reefer who doesn't really r2r but I'd say he fits the cronies mentality. Even though I'm not one.

Otherwise I'd still be wondering why there are 7 wires for the AC unit .....

Thank you

Precisely it's my latest test and learn on pH. And home health.

Interested in how low It gets seems to slowly be removing co2
