Did the scrubber just move your whole ph range up or did it narrow your swing also?
Since I run the scrubber 24/7... It just moved the whole range up.
We need more pictures [emoji16]
I'm a slacker... Here's one I have on my phone to tie you over until I get back to my regularly scheduled programming. [emoji12]

Sorry bud! I've been a bit busy with the day job and got something hush hush that's kept me busy that everyone will find out in about a couple weeks. [emoji6]

He's making a lagoon out of an 8k gallon koi pond. With it'll double as one of those "pet the stingray" experiences for the kids too.


Also, you owe us a bunch if smooth skin shots

Just to follow up... This was the last 3 months with me keeping my pH avg around 8.3 with CO2 scrubber and kalk.

3 months of growth. This is just one acro but a lot in the system have responded similarly with the pH increase. I have @bubbaque to thank for pushing me to try a higher pH. My avg. pH was 8.0 prior to this due to my CARX.

Did you note remarkable growth throughout the tank or just this piece

This one was of the most dramatic but many also took off as well. The best part was the stagnant ones that haven't grown at all for 6 months all decided to wake up.
