Well.. Let everything go on schedule for a week.. Testing this afternoon.

6/7/2019
Tank parameters
Ca = 470 (Hanna)
Alk = 7.2 (Hanna)

I noticed my Alk decrease.. so I just tested the output of my dosing pumps and my AF 2 doses less per minute as my AF1. So I have adjusted my AF 2 schedule as follows on my BRS dosers. Basically adds 4 more minutes that previous.

Fallback ON
Set OFF
If Time 01:15 to 01:16 Then ON
If Time 02:15 to 02:16 Then ON
If Time 03:15 to 03:16 Then ON

Hi Lafanblue, I also named my build thread my little ocean :-) so I just came across yours when trying to find the link for my signature. Hope everything is going well and I will follow your thread to see updates!

Thanks for the comment.. I haven't posted anything here.. Doing a water change today and will take some pictures.. Honestly have been letting my tank do its own thing not touching it too much... it looks better than ever.

So I hate it when all of a sudden a thread just stops without any final comments.. So here it is. I pretty much got rid of everything in this tank and was going to get out of the reefing world. Just don't have the time. I have this 75 gallon and a IM 30 gallon that was built more as a lagoon. Well... I might stay in the game a little longer but on a much smaller scale. I have a Nuvo 13.5 which was my quaratine tank.. that I am setting up and moving a few things into. I might even do build thread on that.. I enjoy reading others trails and tribulations and figure someone might like to read about my Mini Ocean.
