No problems with any of the corals during this war on phosphates?

No sir, the corals are growing, and look great.

Yep,
I dipped some off my corals In Coral RX last night and did not rinse one of my Digitates. :eek:
So the dip stayed inside of the lower flow areas of the polyps too long and for the first time it has some tissue recession. :(

I am sure that you are running some carbon to get it out? hopefully the action is short term and not long term. You can also toss some vitamin C in to help with the tissue recovery.

Today's numbers;Wacky;Wacky:)
Ca 440
Mg 1160
Alk 9.0
Po4 .01
No3 4pp
Temp 78.3
salinity 1.025
PH 8.13
I am going to start daily dosing of Mg with AF magnesium plus this week and I should be golden. My system has always used more Mg than anything else. Once again I am really liking the Hanna checker for true numbers.

Rummer is that they are on the next container to the US. Yes I would like to see how the AF kits compare.

Are you still dosing Comp (1-3) at 3 even daily doses?

Thanks, Freddie
