chefcody86 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Yeah I've been playing around with alkalinity and calcium trying to get a consistent dosing before i add corals. I will put some sps uo top and on some rocks high on my overflow then I'm gonna lps in the middle with some mushrooms leathers and zoathinds on the bottom. Right now I'm adding about 1ml of alk per day to the system and my alks good But my calcium is still kinda up and down. I think I need to lower it to .75 ml from 1 but this will get figured out this week. param 77 degress sal 1.024 ph 8.1 no3 0.10 no2 0.25 cal 450 alk 185 still a bit of nitrate will probly be good after next weeks water changes and I'll some corals.
