Ok so my new test kits are slowly rolling in. The ones I had were expired :(. Phosphate should be in tomorrow, nitrate and Mag on Monday. My Alk is up to around 8.6 from 7, calc is up to 407 and PH is hovering between 8.1 and 8.17. I am gettin gthem back in line slowly (been about 2 weeks since I started raising them). Cheato is growing in the fuge and the algae in the display is slowly dwindling. I would say its about 30% of what it was. Hopefully a couple more weeks and were good to go. :)
