2 week trip up to the lake, back for two weeks then will be away from my reef for nearly a month
Things that happen to every hobbiest when they're away-
****** power supply thinned out on my return pump. I have 2 vectra L2s in my closet, a brand new cor 20, yet my jebao 12000 Is still beasting 7 years later. It did recieve some power, thankfully I was able to see what the issue was monitoring wattage I thought was nice to see first hand with apex.
My silicon tubing to my UV and frag tank return slipped off the day before my dt pump started dropping wattage. So both tanks experienced less flow through the systems
Just prior to that, I have absolutely no idea how my alk dropped down to 5.5
Tested both home and at the shop. Topped up the reactor, Had a few pieces brighten up. I've always from time to time would have some acro colonys pale out. I've also had some nasty swings down to like 6 6.2 before so it's either that or the frequent changes of r0x carbon.
Either way I've has cyano out the wazoo for over a year. I never really cared much about it since my tank was full of corals, didn't really mess with anything but it's zeroing out my nitrates now is getting to be an issue for me since p04 starts to rise.
Been trying to handle it but I might use some liquid nitrate to move it up a bit.
