Little update,
Hannah phos and nitrate not testing correctly.

Ordered salifert:
Phos: 1.0
Nitrate: 30

Began gfo 1/2 cup 2 days ago. Things looking moderately better. Swapped and added 1 1/2 cup today before I leave for 4 days. Also cleaned that skimmer . It was nasty.

Recommended dose is 4+ cups. Feeling okay about it .

Calcium: 400
ALK: 9
Mag: 1300-1500 ( last tested 1300 and dosed )


If things persist when I get back. Planning to shop vac the sump bottom some.

Back from vacation.
Nothing died. That might be a first.

Phos back down under .25

Cyano is gone. Snack for the fish.

Kh guardian went down on me. Needs fixed back up. Alk took a down turn to 5.4 oops

Put some in ATO and back on track.

Got this cool add on called aim that I can get more graphs to look at. Salinity, temp, pH, orp

I like graphs more than coral lolol

 

[Nate Chalk]

Back online, aim s hooked up!

I have more numbers to look at to keep me from messing with the tank now haha

Orp coming soon and probe holder

Just been running a lot. Not a lot of tank time.

Lost my CBB , one day was fat and healthy , next was stuck to the side of the mp60. Not sure.

Got a new (to me pixel 8 pro) with improved macro shots. Not sure it matters much for r2r

Got home cleaned my glass. Lost a torch and a bunch of coral turned over. Besides that all looks good. Sticks out on some weight.
