Ben’s back at it 20G long

[ExitTrauma]

made a small change today. Right now I’m currently changing out continuously about 1L a day. That works out to about a little under 2 gallons a week. That’s barely 10% a week water change. I checked my alkalinity today and it ls looking to be around 9.6. So with the alk a little low, the Ph a little low (checked that with the saliftert kit against the apex, the two are pretty close.) I’m wondering if I can solve it by increasing my water change to 2L a day. That’ll work out to about 14L a week which is ~3.7g a week. That seems closer to 20% water change weekly. Hopefully maybe that will also ease up the snot algae whatever it is.

I’ll report back with the PH graph in a couple days and see if there is a small baseline increase.

Hold the phone. I must have forgotten you’re auto-changing water daily. Did you test your freshly mixed water for Alk & pH?

Ha! I did just because you said that.

I got 11 and 8.0 with the new stuff.
