Magically my ORP reading is up to a 328 from sitting down as low as a 220. I have been changing the filter socks every two days :oops:

It will be interesting to check the number over the weekend.

Have a happy Friday

 

[jsker]

Todays numbers

Time to raise the salinity a bit.

ORP is 368 right now. I have been changing the filter socks every other day for about two weeks. Nitrates are also coming down and phosphates a ticking up with heavy feeding to bring up the phosphates.

Looks like some pretty good stuff. I might have to give it a try, if I hit a wall with reducing mine.

Happy Sunday, Jamming out to some Jazz on my AirPodsMax. Pricy but the sound is incredible.

Just ran my Sunday tests

It is amazing what a little salt adjustment can make to parameters ;) Last weeks number below

STS (Sunday tank shot)

I was just playing with Lightroom to adjust the photo. Note, I have not used light room in sometime and adobe made some changes for the novice to use the program easier.

Have a great day !!

To be honest my reef has taken a big hit and don't feel like doing an update at this point.

Lol, this is the longest bummer streak that I've ever had. Might have to do a total re-boot.

The Chaeto is growing, but nitrates have not budged.

I was like that way too, with updates and picture.

Heck the tank sits in my office and I had to look at the system when I came into the office everyday. I would not turn around and look at the tank so I would not become depressed.

I have the recipe for the 1+2+3+ in a excel sheet that calculates the amount for you would like a copy.

I have been looking for some Aquaforest probiotic salt to only make adjustment to my salinity. I am also thinking about dosing the ProBio S again if I can find it.

Yeah,
This crazy hobby sure comes with some true humbleness.

I'm good with the recipe and love Comp 1+ 2+ 3+

There is a thread where the pre-mix is out of stock. So posted 120's video for mixing your own batches... :D

If I ever shut down the cal reactor. AF Balling would be calling me back home... :)

 

[Fudsey]

Didn't realize there was a shortage of AF Comp 1+2+3+ and I'm was about ready to reorder.

What's the formula for these or a link to them, please?
