I have been dosing the CRT at .3g's 2× a week for 2 weeks. Today im going to .2g's a day. No fish currently.
No3 runs <1 and po4 runs 0.1. I have dosed a small amount of no3 to keep it registered on the Hanna.
Once a week I add a small amont of fish food to help keep the numbers up.
Coralline is starting to spot on the back wall, racks, and powerheads.

Turned up the 14K edge bars from 75% to 95% yesterday.
I fragged a wild tenuis from my main. It has a yellow look and will be interesting to see what it does in the 112. I will get a pic when the lights come on.

Kalk is now at 1mlm up from 0.5mlm and holding alk around 7.8.

Currently running the Ushio 20K BLV on electronic. Im happy with the par and look of this one on the electronic and SL setting.
I ran Radium 20K on M135 and Ushio 10K on M59 and the electronic.
The Giesemann 12.5 ran on an electronic but only for an hour test.

I was able to easily remove my Hungs rainbow from the 170 and mount it to a 2" tile. It has been 22 months since intro.
Never colored up and is a slow grower.
Start and today before I removed it. Once it settles I will get a pic.
