@saltyfilmfolks and I have been talking behind behind closed doors about this and I think I figured out what to do but I would still like some more thoughts on it esp people with continues alk monitoring now
yesterday I was determine to test alkalinity every hour I was at home on the ten i.e. 1:10 3:10 ... (I tested the water twice an hour at the same time and for the most part got the same dkh I used a Hannah ppm alk tester) and I found some info I found a little interesting but kinda already knew fromreading up on alk
So now onto the question I have a .39 diffence in dkh over 24 hours is it worth changing my doseing schedule so that I have a more straight line and try to get the dkh variance in a day down lower to the .1 range???
Yes I am happy with how my corals are growing and I know why change a thing that is working well and honestly I prolly won't as I don't feel like doing any more math. But has anyone tried to match the dkh consumption by the hour and is it worth it? Like is the growth that much better? Is my swing that bad?
I also found it interesting that alk was still being consumed almost four hours after lights out
Thanks
Justin
