Looking into ordering from Reef Beauties as well. How are things going? I'm also in Massachusetts.

Who are you asking? Steve? I'm in AZ and never ordered from them...

@steveschuerger just ordered from them. I've ordered from them a couple of times. Never had a problem.

Quick and well packed. Nice healthy fish. I’d definitely order again.

Tested today:

Magnesium - low
Calcium - low
Alkalinity - low
Phosphates - low

 

[tbrown]

Added magnesium
Installed doser - dosing 5 ml spread out into 5 1ml doses of phosphates
Added baking soda
Need to add more magnesium and more Alkalinity
Need to add calcium

 

[tbrown]

Alk is now 8.9
Phosphates are 0.07. want them slightly higher but that is up from 0.04 yesterday.

Magnesium... I hope I didn't overdo it yesterday. I doubt I did. I'll test later but I shouldn't have gone up a ton... Maybe up 50ish. We'll see.

I think I went up fairly quickly on the Alk from 7.6 yesterday morning to 8.9 tonight. I thought I was conservative on the calculations of water volume but apparently overestimated by about 10 gallons. That's over 3 spaced out doses though and nothing looks affected.

 

[tbrown]

No wait... From 6.8 yesterday morning to 8.9 tonight.

@tbrown, Arizona spiders are starting to get out of hand don’t you think?
