Schnitzel's SPS

You must work for or own a franchise of Wiener Schnitzel. No one just has that as their computer background. lol

Perhaps just an avid fan? [emoji6]

Great looking reef by the way!

That's a sweet price for that light. Hang it high as you can as it can burn your chaeto. It generates a lot of heat is the only thing I don't like about it. It does do wonders for ph, and it grows chaeto really well if you have some nutrients.

Hooked up the light 45 minutes ago, and my ph went up .04 already. Good sign!

Check out the video. I'm hoping it makes my ph go up and be more stable.

Own a franchise.

That's awesome, keep us updated. I run the baby brother h80 and it does nothing for my pH.

I think the key to raising the PH is the intensity of the light. But who knows, this could have just been a coincidence. I'll know better in 24-48 hours.

It will raise the ph for sure. That's a bit close to the chaeto however [emoji621]
Nice spinning action...it will prob stop spinning soon.

It spins all the time. When it gets too big to spin, that's when I trim it.

That's sweet how do you have it set up to spin? Got a pic[emoji12]

 

[gcarroll]

What's the rise in ph today?

Powerhead keeps it spinning

 

[Desert Custom Tint]

That is one amazing tank. Nice job!

 

[CoralWealth]

Powerhead keeps it spinning

I am wondering more about this too. I have a big cheato ball but it never spins anymore, what powerhead do you guys use?

Threw together this Co2 scrubber from an old cheap media reactor I had. PH went up .1 in 30 minutes. It's def burning through the media fast. I don't see this media lasting longer than 1-2 days.

I'm looking to buy a larger reactor that can hold more medi, and I will be adding a solenoid to the inlet that will open and close depending on the ph in the tank. Hopefully I can get it to last longer this way.

This combined with my new kessil h350 should really help keep my ph more stable. [emoji1305]. We'll see if there's any positive effects on coral growth.

Try plumbing your skimmer Venturi intake so that it pulls airs from the skimmate cup. But the media in between this plumbing. It will last much longer

Curious why you've decided to chase pH at this point in time, I mean look at that tank ;)

No matter how great things look, there's always something better. Lol

I'm trying to see if I get any better growth with higher ph. If not, then I'll stop using the soda lime.

Just some fun reading I ran across that's relevant to your pH experiment.
