Update time...
Thanks to a buddy of mine ive been able to get a lot of sps lately at ridiculously cheap pricing.
Everything has been lookin good lately. As im sure everyone always wants to improve, i wouldnt mind figuring out a way to get better color out of my sps. But hey im getting amazing growth and polyp extension soo its all good.
Heres an update FTS
all paramters are stable thanks to weekly waterchanges and b-ionic.
Elos and Salifert Test kits used-
alk-11
calc-430
ph-8.04-8.3
temp 80-82
salinity- 1.026
mag 1300
It is gettin about that time to get a LM3 to dose my alk and calc 2 part. Doing it manually will work for now though.
I recently did a test on some fressh newly mixed saltater that was mixing for a day. I use reef crystals salt and was curious because i herd in the past they had issues with low calcium and low magnesium.
Didnt see any problem... tests were all good
magnesium 1290
calcium 420
alk-11
I have seen a much better improvment in my skimmer ever since getting that gate valve mod. I took the little venturi valve off and seem to get a lot better foam and good wet skimmate.
One upgrade I really wanna do is the mH reflectors......
I want to cut the top of my canopy so I can set some lumen bright 3 minis or somethin like that. I want to see how much that would help out. WIll have to wait though as funds are pretty low right now.
I really wish it would cool down here in Dallas. Im really waiting for the nice cold weather to come in. Still like 90 here.
Will be nice to open up the windows and let in fresh air and the breezes... Since the tank is upstairs( and heat rises) my room can get a little humid.lol
Till next time
Cheers!
