Coral snow can cause a slight drop in alkalinity.

At what dose? 5ml per 50 gallons does nothing IME.

 

[woodyarmadillo]

I’m mostly just curious to see what will happen. I’ve got a few tenuis that have been alive for 2 months or so but color declined for a bit and then stayed the same. Curious to see if they will color up more.

 

[Rennurdoar]

Absolutely...because all of you are my guinea pigs..I don't use any of it.

I've seen a slight drop at 1 tsp in my 125. I think mine dropped 0.3 dKh... It wasn't enough to write home about but my tank doesn't use a ton of alkalinity so it was noticable.

Also 50 ml per 50 gallons seems to be okay. Kidding, I didn’t actually test.

I recommend the reefi to @steveschuerger and there's a fan problem
..I recommend the quanta to @Thuan and there's a ballast problem....yeesh..lol

Like you said, Murphys Law. But the replacement works great. So you‘re off the hook.

Makes sense..I guess I don't notice as my tank eats over 6dkh a day

Yeah..I think it's 6 dkh ish

 

[Baby_Shark]

Did you get the stands or hang by other means? Either way..what is the hanging height and did ypu change the 90 degree to the 120s?

Got the mounting arms with it, switch the middle to 120 for better spread but left the two ends 90 degrees. My coral freaked out the first day, i cam tell because my alk started to rise meaning growth halted. But the next morning everything was happy and just in time for the shipment this week.

Lol..the eggcrate just reminds me of corals trying to escape everytime. The rock turned out nice...gotta be fulfilling to have made a lot of it

How high off the water do they mount them? Also, any side glare with the 120s?

I think I made over half of it.

How much does everyone increase their dosing on alk when they get new acros in? 1ml per acro frag, 2ml per, 3ml per etc. Just seeing if anyone has any idea. I know nothing is going to be the same in everyones tank, just seeing if they're any ballpark figures out there.

 

[Kasrift]

And if you ask nicely, @Kasrift may just send one your way to use if he is home and it isn't loaned out currently

Absolutely. Let me know.

No idea. Usually doesn't change much immediately. I test morning and afternoon for a few weeks to handle the transition. Usually when I find the sweet spot....another order is coming soon..lol

 

[Kasrift]

Absolutely. Let me know.

You are in Boston right @steveschuerger , I'll be there August 9-11 for work, Cambridge area.

 

[Rennurdoar]

Dang, I'm currently dosing 25ml a day with only one sps to stay pretty much the same. I'll just test and keep an eye on them after this sale.
