Here is the tank today -Finally got back to read this thread!
Pure gem. On point assessment and coaching. Would love to know how everything looks today @Tuffloud1 ? Really wish I would have given this thread a read before recent upgrade.
Totally different circumstances but could have applied 100% parameter control advice given in this thread instead of learning on the fly.
Here is the tank today -
Good question. The answer is yes (very established rock from my display) but not enough of it. This is a frag system, so all the rock is sumped.Scott are you using ocean rock, cycled dry rock from mature system or new dry rock in your upgrades?
Although this was entirely different from my recent upgrade tanks. I still seen 100% of the nutrient and parameter control you advised here. Tbh i feel i owe full success that I've had with my shroom lagoon to diligently matching and maintaining old system params to the T. I did not expect my lagoon to take off running the way it did but quickly caught on to alk and nutrient dispersement/usage and once I got a handle and stabilized it really did settle in nicely.
I did have to dose Nitrates and Phosphates daily but I took the lower dose approach of 1-2 ppm nitrates and .03-.06 phosphates. Didnt take alot of nitrate dosing maybe a week or 2 for my regular feeding to lock me back into around 5ppm, but seemed to take a solid month or 2 for phosphates to catch up and stay in readable range to now sitting at around .1 phosphates months later. I never did see an ugly phase in shroom lagoon knock on wood. I feel like it was super tight line I walked with lower constant dosing of nutrients.
The cpl times I missed dosing phosphates I did have a cpl of my super fussy shrooms start losing color. Was super critical keeping Phosphates in system. Did mine with all gulf rock though not sure if that makes much of a difference.
