First time Trident

[waldospe]

First time APEX/Trident user. I’m just running through my second set of tests and my results are attached. I have two big to-do’s today.

1) set up my Refugium. I didn’t have enough space under my tank so I drilled through to a closet. I am going to set up a 20g fuge on my current 90g total volume tank. The fuge will technically be in a different room / have a different O2 source. Will this help with my pH?

2) I have a dose to set up. What should I be thinking about for the two heads? I already have an ATO. 2-part? Which one? Some other trace?

Appreciate you all.

The other room question will depend on the relative CO2 levels in the two rooms.

Can you post a picture of the tank to help gauge the amount of likely alk demand?

Sure can. Not much growth going on which is why I went and got some real monitoring. I also had a near full failure with a multi day power outage in April. Almost everything died.

Have not even started rebuilding my nano tank yet.

You can see the shadow of a dead acro frag which was super disappointing.
