Im really impressed that you've had such good luck swinging that far everyday though. Ive been worried about swinging .5 over a week long period. I guess I don't need to worry so much.

If you are really liking how it is working on your PH at night, id just try to shift like 25% of your dose to throughout the day to make it little more stable.

This is 2 gyres. Scp 150 at one end the other end is scp 180. Both on W1 mode at the lowest pwr. I took out all my wp40 and the slw30

That's massive flow!

I just take mine out and drop them in a bucket of citric acid, let them run for an hour and they get pretty clean with minimal brushing.

Exactly

 

[woodyarmadillo]

Getting to be that time for me. I have never done that to any of my equipment. I regularly pull them out and clean everything i can reach but haven't run them in citric acid yet.

 

[stoney7713]

You mean spreading out the so 32ml further out. Maybe 2ml every hr.

For 16 hours, could work.

You mean shift it to more during the day

I was just thinking that. Great minds thinks a like.

Gyres having the glades like a blower get dirty and lose efficiency quicker. So more frequent cleaning is required.

Maybe start at 10pm 2ml every hr . total of 32 no over 16 hrs?

I run with citric acid and I also get brush as well

Yeah, as you know Im still a newbie but I would think that dramatic swing down a full point and then up a full point everyday wouldn't be too great stability wise. Apparently its been just fine though. The easiest way and the way i do it is just to spread the doses out evenly throughout the day. I only dose 3 ml of AFR right now, and I set my kamoer up to pump .5 ml every 4 hours/6 times a day.

I don't know though, looked like @billyocean was dosing different amounts throughout the day so maybe he can butt in again.

Could definitely lessen that Alk swing.

 

[woodyarmadillo]

@steveschuerger what's your dosing schedule?

Some people dose at night to help with the pH swings. I think he doses more during the day because consumption is higher during the day and it keeps his Alk very stable all day and night.

 

[woodyarmadillo]

Could definitely lessen that Alk swing.

How you doing @stoney7713? You are one of the people that are around a lot but I haven't talked to a whole bunch because were usually around at different times. Any luck on that RFG for your Fluval 13.5? Also, do you live in Salem, Massachusetts?

 

[billyocean]

I dose 8x for a total of 32 ml. 4 mil every hr starting at 9 pm

Yeah...so you are dosing 9pm-5am right?

Not sure if this has been asked before but how much PAR are you guys running Shane’s acros under?

@SBB Corals - what PAR are you using for your frag tank?

 

[woodyarmadillo]

Funny, I was up late last night and discovered that jellyfish tanks were a thing. I was researching a bunch about those last night. I guess Jellyfish don't have brains, so they don't mind swimming in the same current in a 5g for their whole life? Either way, it looked like most people had a hard time running a jellyfish tank.

350-500 par I believe.
