It's been a while, but I finally re-tested my tank and it was interesting!
My doser is even closer to being dialed in – even though alk and calcium are both low, it's not as low as before and it's over a much longer pertiod. And my nitrogen dosing seems to be working on the PO4-removal.
This is the first time in history I've not seen S.G. go up due to dosing. Instead, it went down due to the phenomenal amount of skimmate I've been pulling out along with the Potassium Nitrate and Amino Acid dosing.
More to come on that....
