Do you have a pic of your Laffy Taffy

Do you have a pic of your Laffy Taffy

I thought I had Laffy Taffy, but just looked it up. I don't, I have Tasty Taffy.

Do you have a pic of your Laffy Taffy

it died from the bugs.....waiting to get another.

Here's an old.pic of Laffy taffy

Do you have Tasty Taffy too?

Next time you are filiming, can you get a quick video of your surface agitation. I feel like mine is a lot, but I can't get my PH to even 8.20. I'm even freezing right now with the window open since my tank is in my office. I also run a CO2 scrubber. But I do have a canopy....the canopy is 90% open on top, but the big T5 panel may act like a lid.

Theres limits too. He must have ridiculous consumption during peak. If your indoor air is 409ishppm, theres only so much you can do. More air exchange wont necessarily change pH if youre already maxed out.

The biological processes in the tank also change the pH value. When coral is consuming its reducing carbonic acid in the tank and increasing pH. for instance, i can dose the same amount of kalk on the hour, same flow, and same indoor CO2 and still see that .3 swing, largely attributed to happy/growing coral. The only thing i could do is dose kalk in the middle of the night to try and stabilize it but my peak would still be lower.

His .5 pH swings are literally indications of peak happiness in a tank. Thats wild.

Jebao:
2x0w50s
1x0w40
1k icecap gyre
2x4k icecap gyres
Jebao dcp 10000 return

Im thinking about adding another mp40 on the middle backwall. The gyre is weak and cant fit a big boy.

This is above my pay grade..lol..but makes sense

do it best thing I did. mp40 in back and 2 on sides. gyres 120 jabeo x2 rt and left

Well..unfortunately..I'm no doctor plumbing electrical reefing engineer...

 

[ReeferZ1227]

I'm not so sure it's necessarily the boiling of a surface as much as lifting the lower water up to exchange with the air

Its just the mere fact you have a metric boatload of flow and your allowing the coral to be happy, which becomes a positive feedback loop of additional consumption.

At least thats my interpretation. More flow = more growth = higher pH. The air exchange contributes but if you shocked your coral from a swing you'd see your 8.5 turn into 8.2 with all other variables the same.

Looking back this is about the best I can get. Definitely less than a .5 swing for me.

well i got all that covered i just shock the hell out of myself with electrical.

If I open windows it gets a bit higher but probably nor necessary. If a bunch of people are over it's lower
