4x5 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Testing 1... 2...; I ran some tests yesterday, parameters are so out of whack it's unreal. Alk and Cal have crept up with usage being down since the move and Mag is strangely low. KH: 9.9 Ca: 470 Mg: 1170 I switched the dosers off yesterday to let things come down slowly, KH was back down to 8.9 earlier so I'll let it come down for another day or so, so that it's more in line with the 7-7.5 that I prefer to run and then re-adjust my dosages to hopefully stabilise it. Mag I'll dose back up to 1300, that's easy enough. It's amazing how things change when there is a small interference in the routine. My husband is from south africa, durban area. I need to show him this thread. He may find it neat <3 Oh cool. Durban is great. Quote Link to comment
D Z Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 WOW, 9.9dKH is not good. That's what I'm dealing with from dosing Tech M to try to get rid of the bryopsis. I hope your not seeing any tissue loss. 8.9 is a lot better than 9.9, so you should be back in line soon. I'm sure the mag at 1170 is probably helping to throw things off a bit too.

Not ideal no but everything seems OK. I've had a little tissue loss on my Secale but that wasn't from this. Everything should be back into range tomorrow then I can make some adjustments and see how that rolls. 1 Quote Link to comment

Love this tank. My tank was very stable pre move. I'll get it sorted, just waiting for everything to get back into sync. 1 Quote Link to comment
4x5 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 KH back down to 7.3, which is great. Usage has dropped by roughly 50% which is pretty crazy, I've made some adjustments to dosing so let's see how this goes. Oh and my LEDs are not turning on, will have a look at whats going on later. These renovations are testing my patience. 1 Quote Link to comment

RK_tek Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I wish our lights could more closely represent a sunrise like that. Everyone runs blue for sunrise, but I like the warmer tones instead. Quote Link to comment
