Wow that’s some growth !
 
Thanks CB! Despite the Dino's and everything I've been doing to the tank, this one keeps doing well. I think it slowed down a bit with the Dino's though.

Just keep fighting those Dino’s . Your tank looks good 😊
 
This is nice to see. I installed the fuge and lights close the beginning of the chart. Although my peak PH hasn't really risen, the low has ticked up more and more every day. I know this is supposed to happen, but it's nice to see it on the graph.

Pretty similar! Waiting to start dosing the sodium hydroxide 😋 until then Kalk it is.

I'm a fan of Kalk. I ran it on my previous tank with great success. I went without this time to not deal with the messiness. My house is pretty sealed up with a million dogs and people so my pH has never been that great. The sodium hydroxide helped.

pH pushed a little higher today and sustained the high for about 3 hours. .

I get random burst as well. Wish I knew why and how to replicate it 😅

You’re dosing sodium hydroxide!?!?

Yes, have been for months. I mix 283g per gallon. That is equivalent in strength to soda ash at 500g per gallon, but with a better pH boost.

Mix with refrigerated water. Mixes super hot.

I think Miami reef has a whole thing on it. May he RIP.

Yep coach Baruch had me all prepped for it. Few people use it surprisingly? Once Kalk demand is exceeded I’ll be starting. Nice! if I have any questions I know who to ask now 😀

I almost miss the little, red, arrows enough to put them in myself.

Hard to believe we're quickly approaching a year since Baruch died. I miss him.

In other news; you did not apply the level demotion from the other night, Master Probater. It is a clear sign of negligence and insubordination. This will not stand, ya know, this aggression will not stand, man. As a result, a demotion to 6.7228 is now in effect.
