Pe is good

 

[Nate Chalk]

how is the polyp extension on these? Could they be next?

I dont think so but the frag had zero pe on the rack for 2 weeks practically compared to the others im guessing just shipping shock etc who knows ive nursed some back from just the base

 

[NowGlazeIT]

Melted down to base in the back right above the lepto

That rocks looks like it could use some tlc. Why no coralline?

been running kh 8, nitrate 5-10, phos .1 calcium is 500~

@NowGlazeIT these are newer rock ~3-4 months other rocks in tank have corralline

maybe it was the water change with the reef crystal salt? 14 dkh into 8 kh might have bumped it havent retested since then. it was ~20% of 180 gallon

Did you Actually test your IORC at 14 Dkh?

Yea that’s a big swing

 

[Lost in the Sauce]

Yea that’s a big swing

The two times I've tested iorc before a water change it came in closer to 11.

 

[Nate Chalk]

i didnt test IORC i usually dont.

[Nate Chalk]

welp i guess if thats the only thing to kick it. I guess i consider myself lucky.

Maybe i do less water change in 1 go if the dkh is higher :s

 

[Lost in the Sauce]

i didnt test IORC i usually dont.

I've got a boring conference call and a brand new reagent. At the top end of 1.025 (mixed too hot), I'm still only coming 12.1 on it.

 

[NowGlazeIT]

Dang that’s high(for me) hah you guys running your alk up there too?

 

[Nate Chalk]

im running alk 8. but if the mix is 11-12 then its going to spike

 

[fishguy242]

i like 9 for mixed, 10 for sps dominant

I’ve tested IO at 16 dkh prior to putting in tank , however, I was using tap water

 

[NowGlazeIT]

8.5-9 here. My salt mix is the same so no surprises

not too much if only 20% wc
