It's great things are progressing so well!Not that many folks watch this, understandably but...I'm starting to see good color, encrusting and growth in my sps frags. I have probably 40+ frags, that are all relatively small but even so, as I'm starting to see growth I thought I'd start to see alk take a dive, however, it has been staying steady without any dosing or water changes so I'm a little stumped. When should I start seeing a decrease in alk?
I guess that's one way to look at it I hadn't really thought of. I guess I was expecting to see some decrease but those small frags probably don't suck up as much alk as I think. Coralline is finally starting to take off on the back glass and pumps as well, so it's coming along. Whether coralline is a blessing or a curse is always a debatable topic.It's great things are progressing so well!
You will see a drop in alk when the alk consumption exceeds the accuracy of your alk test kit.
If you had those 40 frags in a 40B tank you would notice the decrease. With your much larger water volume it is acting as a buffer. This is the stability benefit of larger tanks in action.I guess I was expecting to see some decrease but those small frags probably don't suck up as much alk as I think.
Or, it is food for a long spine urchin!Whether coralline is a blessing or a curse is always a debatable topic.
For the return I did. The drain setup is a herbie, so just two different length standpipes there.Looking good. Did you use the plumbing that came with the SCA tank inside of the overflow?
Corals are looking really nice, how are your fish doing?
