Lessons I have learned, the hard way.... note to future self

(1) 0.1 PO4 isn't a big deal. Adding GFO and increasing LaCl dosing to try and wrestle is down will results in STN from the base up

(2) Stable parameters include NO3 and PO4, although I keep going from a high to a low... need help

(3) Sand Sifting Goby, its been months and my water has never been crystal clear like it used to

(4) ICP results, meh, everything on the report is elevated yet @Randy Holmes-Farley says not to worry about it, perhaps ICP is over-utilized and needs to be sent out only when something bad happens.....

(5) Gulf Live Rock, gets you corals quicker, drawback - crabs, which need spearing, wish they had a small underwater spears that I could fire (toothpicks perhaps)

(6) GFO drops alkalinity, LaCL drops alkalinity

(7) if alk suddenly starts rising..... the trident isnt at fault, its that your nutrients have bottomed out and no ones using the dosed alk... (With the Trident, and a stable dosed alk)
