Great thread, following

Thank you.

Magically my ORP reading is up to a 328 from sitting down as low as a 220. I have been changing the filter socks every two days

It will be interesting to check the number over the weekend.

Have a happy Friday

 

[jsker]

Todays numbers

Time to raise the salinity a bit.

ORP is 368 right now. I have been changing the filter socks every other day for about two weeks. Nitrates are also coming down and phosphates a ticking up with heavy feeding to bring up the phosphates.

Looks like some pretty good stuff. I might have to give it a try, if I hit a wall with reducing mine.

Happy Sunday, Jamming out to some Jazz on my AirPodsMax. Pricy but the sound is incredible.

Just ran my Sunday tests

It is amazing what a little salt adjustment can make to parameters Last weeks number below

STS (Sunday tank shot)

I was just playing with Lightroom to adjust the photo. Note, I have not used light room in sometime and adobe made some changes for the novice to use the program easier.

Have a great day !!

To be honest my reef has taken a big hit and don't feel like doing an update at this point.

Lol, this is the longest bummer streak that I've ever had. Might have to do a total re-boot.

The Chaeto is growing, but nitrates have not budged.

I was like that way too, with updates and picture.

Heck the tank sits in my office and I had to look at the system when I came into the office everyday. I would not turn around and look at the tank so I would not become depressed.

I have the recipe for the 1+2+3+ in a excel sheet that calculates the amount for you would like a copy.

I have been looking for some Aquaforest probiotic salt to only make adjustment to my salinity. I am also thinking about dosing the ProBio S again if I can find it.

Yeah,
This crazy hobby sure comes with some true humbleness.

I'm good with the recipe and love Comp 1+ 2+ 3+

There is a thread where the pre-mix is out of stock. So posted 120's video for mixing your own batches...

If I ever shut down the cal reactor. AF Balling would be calling me back home...

 

[Fudsey]

Didn't realize there was a shortage of AF Comp 1+2+3+ and I'm was about ready to reorder.

What's the formula for these or a link to them, please?

So just checked BRS for comp 1+2+3+ and they raised the price from yesterday up $16 from $46 to $62.....

Supply and demand at it's finest.... And it is still out of stock

Just checked BRS, BRS has everything you need to mix your own

If and when you decided to mix you own, you will use 30% to 50% less then the premix. The purple premix is watered down and I think the white premix is stronger.

You spend more up front, bit less over time when you mix your own. I have not purchased Ingredients in two years except the component strong.
