salinity a tad high, and Mag a tad high

Salinity 1.025
Mag 1300
Nitrate .03
Ph 8.1 - 8.3
With nitrate at .03 I would have dino's everywhere. I get dino's if my nitrates drop below 5! And phosphates are always .1. Mag is always 1500+ and never been an issue in 20 years. Remember the old days when we used to use kent tech M to raise mag past 1500 to combat bryopsis? Might be dating my reefing career here with that one! And chasing PH is a fool errand(god I hate BRS ever did those PH videos. now everyone wants to chase that elusive 8.3 dragon). Throw those dang PH probes in the garbage, and never look at them again!


Anyways....

Morning all! And happy turkey day!

Again I'm up at 3:30 am, but thats ok as I need to get the turkey on the smoker by 5. Hope everyone stays safe, and has a lovely day!

I’m thinking I need a shrimp for my tank. I’ve had Coral Banded before and they are so cool but you can only have one.
May pick up 2 or 3 or 4 Skunk shrimp this Saturday. They seem to do okay in groups.
Whatchall think?

Happy Thanksgiving Morning!!
I set the alarm to make sure i get up and going with enough time to coffee and R2R.
I wish you and yours a mellow blessed thanksgiving. I offer a prayer of gratitude to God, Who inspired His people to seek a new land, whose love inspires the efforts that unite us today, and shines a beacon for a brighter future for those to come,
Stay calm and call the plumber!

originally I had 1. You never saw it, and it hid all day. I got another, and low and behold they are both out and about all day swaying back and forth looking for a fish to clean. I then got a third, and all 3 have setup a "cleaning station" that all my fish visit on a daily basis.
