I finally have my GHL 2.1 sa doser connected to the network. I am also happy that I now can use the app or GCC with a usb to change settings.

I now have the doser wired with a Lan connection. I am happy now.

I am working on the other build, with a new sump and mixing tank. I am going with glass for the sump and mixing tank. I am getting the glass cut and drilled. I will do the assembly.

I over dosed on vodka and I have an algae bloom going on. I also did some maintenance on a doser to replace the wheels and that is most like the reason that I overdosed.

On a good note, the cyano is down. The rock work was looking great, since the vodka was not dosing correctly. The GHA came back. Time to start feeding more to get the nutrient number up a bit. The Alk is way high. I will turn off the dosing for a couple of days then start back slowly dose alk.

It is always something :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Doing a water change, then testing again to adjust my numbers. The Alk has been off of dosing for a week and down for a 10 last week. Phosphates read a .01 on the checker.
