AND you will want to be able to TEST and STABILIZE the big parameters:
Salinity
Temp
Alk
Cal
Mag
Nitrate
Phosphate

(pH should be at least above 8 if you can wrangle it, preferrably 8.3 for good growth)

7.8ish is more forgiving for acros.

I’ve been testing these weekly. My ph has stayed around 8.2

For pH?? I always thought the higher the better for most hard coral

Don't forget the frogspawn and maybe hammers if his tank is stable enough

Ladies like bourbon too

The ocean is at around 8.2 side note, ocean acidification is pushing it lower and thats a dealbreaker ladiez

Yeah..my bad...

you were blowing my mind there for a sec haha. I run my alk between 10-11, stability is the key with alk as it can swing drastically with a big calcifying club in the tank

Hey all. Got my vip code today but sadly I've been too busy to look yet. I also see the pre-sale drops have begun. Dang-it. Soon as the wufe gets home from seeing her family in Cali. I'm locking myself in the office with my laptop and hit the sale. while she deals with the puppy from hell. How can something so small at cute cause such pain and torture lol

What does that alk measurement? Trident? I’m thinking that should be my next equipment I buy. Some kind of auto alk tester.

NEW GAME
ANIMALS CLOSEUP

It's time to get up close and personal with mother nature! For this game, I will post an image of an animal every hour, on the hour. However, the image is dramatically zoomed in. The first person to correctly identify the animal gets a point. After ten rounds, the person with the most points wins FREE SHIPPING FROM SBB CORALS!!!

In the event of a tie, the person that scored first wins. Good luck!​

If you already have an apex, get a trident. It measures alk, ca, and MG as many times a day as you want. When your alk is stable, it provides a great heartbeat for the tank. I can look at the ups and downs and compare to previous days, and if corals are comsuming more or less alk based on any changes I made. Pretty awesome and I'd never run a tank without a trident now.

And for the record, you need to be pretty specific with your answers. For instance, “bird” or “frog” will not be accepted. What kind of bird or frog is it?
