Rebirth

Today's tests results:

Ra: 7,66 dKH
Ca: 440
K: 410

Ra as Ca are stable for the past 6 weeks, so the adjustment in the Ca reactor was a good call.
K droped a little...first time that is near to 400 since the begining of the tank.
I'll keep an eye on it, and I'll start dosing Brigthwell Potassium if it drops below 400....

Water parameters are pretty the same of last months.

After some months fighting diatoms in sandbeb and a green slime algae coating the rocks I change my RO membrane and DI resin and cut down the frozen shrimp feeding.

Both, diatoms and green slime algae, showed a big step back, but didn't disappeared completely.
I think I need give them a month or two, but I'm in the right direction now.
