Over the weekend I glued the new corals to the rock. They are both looking happy and healthy and I'm happy with their placement.
I also got the KH Director hooked up and recalibrated the pH probe in it. It had been dry since shutting the 250 down and was reading something like -25 million pH... I soaked it in some RODI and it went thru calibration without any trouble. I did one test with the 7.5dKh refrence solution and it was dead on. It is currently reading my tank at 6.5dKh. The Hanna was showing 7.5, which I recall the same thing happened last year when i initially set it up on my 250. That is why I bought the refrence solution, so I could verify which one was the accurate result.
My alk doser (pump 4) is also hooked up but turned off for the moment until I am certain the KH Director is reading properly. This afternoon I plan on figuring out a starting dose to slowly raise my alk up to 8.0 and going from there.
