I have not taken a series of pH tests over a whole day to monitor changes. I have taken readings on different days at different times and found the readings very close to each other. so to be honest, never given it much thought about a stability issue.
I will run a 24 hour bank of tests every couple hours or so. not sure how I will run that after hours yet but I will think of something
I have never had any contact with urchins but ordered two, as it turned out they were not alive on arrival. so I hope to pick up a couple if salty has any or one of the other smaller stores in the area.
Does anyone know how to tell when to change the media of the phos-ban recator. I added just one 150 a couple weeks ago or so.
it is not possible to confirm what parts are responsible but since I did the big scrub down I have think I am seeing slowed growth.
To date I have raised the pH to 8.5 , physically scrubbed each rock and dunk rinsed. added more lettuce nudis, and a kole tang which went right to work picking at the algae that no other fish would touch. of course I continue with 10% water changes at least one per week and try very hard to get in two
