Back in the ALK range we are looking for :)

Came home to 2/3 kessils off. Unplugged and replugged in and wa la back online.

Technology isn't always our friend

Tanks moving slowly in the right direction a little everyday. Long haul back after a crash.

Tanks looking good. Alk swing took a victim acro. Others showing fine.

Probably the calcium nitrate doser. And not enough alk in top off.

How long since you've taken the housing off and blown them out? According to Kessel it should be done every 6 months.

New batch of kombucha incoming.

I have never tested alcohol content but could be interesting to play around with second fermentation included.
Upon further research. It requires a Gas chromatography thingy and a chemist to run the test. Not worth. Lol

Bacteria eats some of the sugar so the float normally used for beer doesn't work.

Tooth brushed the rocks some, DIY reef flux administered . Looking more like a reef every day. :)

taking the algae cleaning little by little

CUC is moving to the spots I dont reach like behind rocks on back wall.

Considering something to monitor PH just so I can know where I land and if i need to do anything about it, but then again things look pretty good. so why not just spend that on some coral/fish :)

@Lost in the Sauce I have the saddest news....

In Utah we found Don Julio tortilla chips. They slapped.... And they don't ship from anywhere.

You lucky lucky
