BTA acting strange earlier, all retracted and almost inside out (up in a crevice) but now he's back out, hanging upside down, looking normal from what I can see. I swear he's trying to give me a headache...
Tested today.
NH4 0
NO2 0
NO3 10
ph 8.4
Alk 6
I know the alk is low. Going to test my water when I get it ready for my sunday water change. If it is low, will see if okay to try to raise it by adding baking soda. Might also do a larger water change than normal. There's not much in to use up alk I don't think but there is a huge issue with green dust algae. Read some who said to leave it 3 weeks but no way am I not going to be able to see into the tank for that long, not with fish and corals and a silly bta in there.
