Got my Alk stabilized again. This time ~60ml/hr keeps it level.

So the only thing I add daily is kalkwasser ~60ml/hour out of my ParlAStir.
I have an ATO reservoir that gets auto filled from RODI. That feeds my top-off and the kalk stirrer. Every weekend I add Mg, elements, & aminos. I’ve started adding mg more frequently out of necessity.
 
Sam. can you reply to my order on your site placed on 8/17
Sorry didn’t see the messages! I think I have a configuration issue on my page or my aws email I need to figure out. I’ve texted you about it!

The chaeto tank gets an AIO upgrade with PVC scraps and a 300gph pump I had laying about:

Didn't do it. instead spent that cash on more F/2 and some new phyto to start cultivating that again for my Pods.
 
tired of these phosphates. got 16oz of lanthanum chloride on the way! yay! another way to fry the tank if careless!
