alright boss, here you go sal.-1.025, nitrate 41.7, phos.- .27, alk.-9.7, cal. 545, temp 77, ph.-8, . i use red sea salt. the only ''recent'' changes have been the addition of a kleini butterfly for aiptasia and dosing red sea algae management and brightwell aquatics kh buffer

Bubbles are pretty hardy and tolerant. Your params are a little all over the place though which might be affecting it. I’m also wondering if the Kleini is using it for snacks.

what do you mean all over the place?

Calcium, alk, nitrates and phos are higher than I’d like to see. Any swings in those numbers could have an effect as well.
Kleini can be hit or miss for both eating Aiptasia and your corals so it could be that too. If you can setup your phone to record and then check back on the video you might see something. Sometimes fish don’t always reveal their true identifies when we are watching them. :confused-face:

ok so i decided to dig out my old api calcium test kit and see what that reads. yes, i know those arent recommended- thats why i had to dig it out :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes: just to see how it compares to the hanna. it came out at 360! now i dont know what to think:disappointed-face: maybe ive been doing my hanna incorrectly all along!
