Most recent testing and dosing:

10/15/22
Salinity: 1.025
(API tests)
pH: 8
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0

(Salifert tests)
Alk: 8.3
Calcium: 390
Magnesium: 1110

Dosed 4ml Brightwell reef code A, 4ml Brightwell reef code B, 5ml API Magnesium liquid.
Started using Redsea reef energy plus ab+ (1ml)

10/16/22
Alk: 9.3
Calcium: 390-400
Magnesium: 1170

I did not dose again yesterday. Was thinking about dosing the Brightwell Reef A for the Calcium and not dose the B as I don't want to raise the Alkalinity any more.
And also could dose the Magnesium again today I think.

How are you determining how much to dose? Check out this calculator, it may help. Also, pick a salt that is close to the parameters you want to keep. This way you don’t have to dose a ton to keep the tank where you want it.

You may want to increase your nitrates if you're going to try to bring phosphates up. 0 nitrates and some phosphate can lead to algal blooms.

Yeah I am currently fighting with some cyano as well, not too bad now its much better.

I feel like everyone is always trying to get Phosphate and Nitrates down. Do I just feed more? Reduce my water changes?

I honestly just halved the suggested dose for my tank and then measured to see what it did.
This is the first time I have tried dosing anything.

How many gallons of water in your tank?

How many gallons of water in your tank?

I have the Evo 13.5, so probably realistically 12.5 G of water given the rock and water level?

I saw one of the Blue Ring Acans that she dropped and almost made a very bad decision....

I had it in my cart waiting for the after sale. someone else waited less than me.

I wold take the light, but the 200 gift card would work also. I kind of what to get the apex and Neptune set up.

I been dreaming of corals the last few nights. Which is better than the death ones.

 

[Living Reef Orlando]

@Living Reef Orlando can I pick up my order this weekend during in-store sale? Or will you all be too busy during the in store sale?

I was just going to ask this as well.

Yes you guys can pick up this weekend!

Nice. I won a g5 at my first live sale (another Orlando based retailer that won't be named), so the g6 would probably be too much. I'd like either the powerhead or the gift card.

I dreamt of coral last night too. for whatever reason, they had grown in the shape of Rick and Morty; a show I have never seen btw.
