Need more fish poop!!!

[FunFishin24]

With a low nutrient tank dKH should be 7.5-8, depending on lighting.


the secret to colorful,healthy corals....obvious to some,elusive to many

Thanks for the link. It explained a lot of my exact issue. More than one way to skin a cat and no 2 tanks are alike. I always thought stability was the key but I gotta find the sweet spot for my tank before stability does anything. [emoji106][emoji482]

Lol. It's not a good problem to have. [emoji4]. I know I have a lot more room for fish but just can't really decide on which ones to get. Any ideas???

10 anthias and some dwarf angels.

I've really been reading on anthias. Would like to get some but still trying to figure out which ones to get. Also have a flame angel but have been looking at some large ones, like emperor or queen. But I would also like to get some clams once I get my water right so I'm not to sure yet!! [emoji106]

Ok. So my calcium reactor has been off for 3 days but my alk didn't drop much. Only down to 10.2-10.5. But since I've been feeding more my nitrates & phosphate have readings now.
The SPS that weren't doing good show signs of improvement... a little color in tips & better polyp extension BUT now my forest fire and Superman digi don't look so great.
Should I keep lowering my alk to 8-9 or try to keep thing stable where they are at?? Thoughts????

Test results from this morning.

Let the dKH slowy go down to a more desirable level. As the conditions improve and the SPS continue to get healthier the consumption of ALK should increase. Mix up a batch of Randy's Two part. If your conmption doesn't increase much you will do better with dosing two part versus the reactor.

Ok. I'll let my alk drop some more. Thanks. Why is 2 part better than my reactor??

 

[hkgar]

2 part is not better. Since you have it go ahead and use it. For your level of consumption a reactor is more than you need.
