Today I tested

Dose 5ml of neophos

Dose 10 ml of neonitrate

Alk dose is still at 5. When it hits 9 I plan to increase the dosing
#s looking good to me. I'd say get that alk to 8.3-8.6 and you're where I like to keep my tank (except bring the nitrates to 25ish.).

So I am dosing to get it up higher. Don’t need another go at bottoming out especially with all those corals coming

But honestly have no idea what the actual volume of my tank is so that’s why I dose half of what the math says to raise the tank 3ppm in a 75

Definitely want the alk closer to 8.5

Well I can finally scroll through zoanthids and not be tempted to buy…….lol

Now trying to figure out best way to dip

32+9+11= 52 corals ****

POTO had to refund one because they couldn’t find it….kinda sad about that oh well. That’s $11 more dollars for me.
