[ARVERLY]

Everything looks great so far...will be tagging along. I love this build

Thanks! Although I did have a slight ATO reservoir overflow. I got a shut off valve but got lazy and didn't install it.

I installed a BRS deluxe reactor with a sicce 1.0 pump because the mesh bags weren't as effective imo.

1/4 cup of BRS GFO high capacity mixed with 1/2 cup of BRS 0.8 ROX Carbon

It will be replaced every 2 weeks.

Temp looks great, but pH swings from 7.9-8.4. Should I be concerned? What should I do?

I haven't been dosing anything yet. Should I start dosing kalkwasser at night?

thats perfect your doing great! I wouldn't change a thing

Going through some nasty cyanobacteria right now arrrrggg!!!

 

[ARVERLY]

It's all over the rocks!

Nitrate is 0 using API and phosphate is also 0 using Hanna Low Range. Is it the water? Although TDS on our 4-stage plus is 0.00.. Or just "new tank syndrome?"

I would like to eventually bring the nitrates to 5 and phosphate to 0.03-0.05.

I may have some extra leftover if you need some. It doesn't take much. Like Jeff said, works like a charm overnight.

is chemiclean stick safe? never looked into it.

is chemiclean stick safe? never looked into it.

Not a single negative effect in my entire tank. And I have a LOT of sticks

 

[Swirlygig]

won't harm anemones, cucs, clams, snails, inverts...just makes your skimmer go nutz. Always monitor you tank params during any treatment, but I have never had an issue...used it probably 6times.
