@stoney7713 . I love the dragon soul I got yesterday. It drag it from his massive colony so I know its very hardy. It was $150 for the 7 heads, but since I go there regularly, I got it for $125

Thank you all for your help with my dosing schedule. I spread out the 32ml into 16 hrs. I now dosee more during the day. I couldn't sleep at 2am so I went and measure alk and ph. Ph is steady at 8.2-8.3 and alk is at 7.8. I test again when I woke up at 7, and readings still same. My dosing won't ramp up until 10am.
My 180 is happy happy with the new flow setup, scp150 on one end and the scp 180 on the other. Both on w1 mode with the 150 at 1 power and the 180 at 3 power and both at lowest speed

If I keep the dosing equal day and night it raises during the night and drops throughout the day. Granted, my tank is chock full of sticks so consumption is needy during the day. I think when you find the sweet spot it will even out nicely. My lights are 7am-9pm with no ramp up or downs. I'll repost the dosing times so you can see better in relation to lighting. Of course, it's just a guide on what works in my situation

It helped me a lot. Thank you. I run my kessil 7am-8pm and the Quanta bars comes on at 9am and off at 6pm

Sounds like a nice colony! Definitely worth it and you got the hook ups!!

I’m having trouble with my salinity control. It keeps gradually rising up to 35.5-35.9. It seems my auto water change set up is not synced up. It’s putting in more fresh salt water than it’s removing causing a gradual increase in salinity. I’ve got to read up and see how to re-sync the dosing pumps. Right now I’m just removing a gallon of salt water everyday and letting the auto top off refill with RO water.

My highest dose is roughly 66% higher than my lowest dose. It may work out the same where you can try the % of dosing vs the highest dose/lowest dose in relation to the lighting.

I dose 86 ml which divided by 12 doses is 7.166 if that helps

Hmmm...I read a post somewhere on this exact issue but can't remember where but it's out there in the r2r space somewhere. Side note I also read about refugium lighting messing with the optical sensors on auto top offs if there's any overspill of light.

@billyocean I think I just fixed it. The removal line was getting air in it. I changed out the quick connect fitting on the line and primed it. Seems to be pulling all water now with no air in the line. Fingers crossed that was it. My storage tank. My saltwater storage tank is 34.7 so it should gradually rebalance the salinity.

My highest dose is 67% higher than my lowest dose. Lets see when I test again later and tomorrow

It still leaves you with the same total amount of ml dosed per day correct?

 

[sadrobotz]

i'm going to try and get some kalk today to start dosing, i think my corals and my tank very much need it

Yup

Good morning everyone! Another sunny hot day in Florida. Looks like you folks in San Diego are going to get a year’s worth of rain today. Hope you don’t float into the ocean. Deserts and flooding don’t mix real well. Good luck.

Hoping nothing bad happens. Got texts from the power company about possible outages. I'm out of town, so stressed out about that.
