TheKleinReef Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Keep an eye on your mag., for my tank I hardly ever have to dose mag. even 5ml a week is too much. Oops that's not per day. That's per week. Sorry about that. Looks really good! Seems over dosing kills more tanks than under dosing. Huh? Quote Link to comment

NanoTopia Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Auto dosing Mg in a nano is almost unnecessary, once a week by hand will do. Peace of mind though, I do it too. Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Auto dosing Mg in a nano is almost unnecessary, once a week by hand will do. Peace of mind though, I do it too. Gotta remember though I'm trying to take as much care requirements off my parents as possible. This doser eliminates their need to dose while I'm gone. That way they just need to feed. 1 Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hey you. Have you heard of the live Zoo product from alagagen? I was wondering how quickly it would work to color up corals in an ULNS tank like yours. Also, in reading ionic imbalance posts by Christine I was motivated to email Randy Holmes Farley for some tidbits I could share with you and her. Hope he replies. 1 Quote Link to comment

Colors are improving rapidly with feedings. Information on ionic imbalance would be a great resource as well 1 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Ca: 375 Alk: 8.3 hmmm Ca consumption increase significantly. not so much alk. i readjusted the Ca dose to 24mL and left the alk the same at 20mL. everything looked good. STN stopped completely and for once everything looked healthy. here's a quick pic. i'll edit it later: somehow i have 2 flickr accounts? what the heck? iPhone FTS 1/16/2014 by TheKleinReef, on Flickr *birdsnest looks weird because of the shading that the return line is casting over the coral. weird. 5 Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I should charge a buck for every time I tell anybody to feed corals. If I figure correctly I told you about 50 times. 1 Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 mille RTN'd at the base since last night.... why can't everything do well for more than 10 hours. :/ checking parameters now, expecting everything to be normal. Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 I really like that last FTS colors popping. It's close to being true life colors. The pic is a little more vibrant where real life the colors are pastel like. Quote Link to comment

What the hell is going on in there? Could it be a pest of some sort? Just doesn't make any sense to me. Sorry if I forgot ... have you ever checked PAR? Too much light putting corals on the edge?

Sorry if I forgot ... have you ever checked PAR? Too much light putting corals on the edge? I run 6 bulbs for only 3 hours. And I moved the fixture up 4". Every coral has been improving for the last 2 weeks then BAM. RTN. :/ Quote Link to comment
