Plating right?
Sort of. Depends on flow, light, etc. Mine grows like a Digitata! Plate, encrust, and sticks. The original colony was very much like a Tabling Acro. Each of the frags I pulled from it grow more vertical and not much basing out or crusting.
I would just dose an additional 15 ppm per week. I'm not a fan of using ato for anything aside from topoff. Any variation in your evaporation can cause wild fluctuations in your parameters. Just my thoughts.
It seems easier to do that, then I don't need to know how much is in the ato bucket when I refill.
That's a good idea too. i am in the probably bad habit of adding extra water to the sump so I don't need to fill the ato as frequently.
I should do them more. I have a poor ro filter for the size of tank and it takes the better part of 16 hours to get 10 gallons. I haven't tested my salt lately so I don't know what I'm mixing in. That's probably step one.
Not necessarily though. I rarely do water er changes and my only filter is socks and a skimmer that I run for 6 hours a day (4 times for 1.5 hours).
Far be it from me to boast buuuuut I can make 10 gallons of RO water in about 7 minutes.
Kidney filtered beers do not equal RO, Chris. We've been over this a million times...
The good news is your tank really processes ammonia good!
Way back in the day, it was not unheard of to pee in your tank in-order-to kick start the cycle.
You should work on that aim. With some work the misses may not make you sit backwards anymore...
You say that as though you are surprised that I keep forgetting. At my age and with all the beer and whiskey filtering I’ve done, it’s amazing I can remember what my name is anymore.
Funny ,how i just asked you to remember something age related elsewhere... :grinning-face-with-big-eyes:
