At airport! Based on the monitoring and the WYZE I am hopeful that all is in decent shape when I get back! I bet the fish are excited for Nori!
 
Phew! got in, got dinner, got unpacked, got the kids to sleep, fed the fish, got the wife to sleep, got my parameters!

Upped the kalkwasser stirrer dossage to 110ml/hr, 120ml/hr 11-4pm. Added a little (~20ml?) calcium and a lot of magnesium (~65ml?). Added my essential elements.

The algae scrubber was parially blocked so had very little water flowing through it. All the algae had gone bone white and was probably dead so I scrubbed it all out and am starting afresh. Its super easy to clean. I am thinking I Should use those plastic garden hose clip-fittings to make it easier to take out of the cabinet.

That’s not that bad situation to come home to. Glad everything managed ok.
