Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I'm at sub 7 Alk. Probably around 1.026 salinity(wild guess though)
Last time I checked about 2 months back, calcium was at 440 and mag well over 1500. Phosphate was at .02 with 0 nitrate.
Everything looks awesome so I don't bother with it.
I made the vibrant mistake. Had a little algae I wanted to get rid of. Used it, and it worked well. Then the cyano started and kept using as per directions. Eventually that went away and was replaced with what believed was Dino's. Stopped the vibrant and then started chasing numbers to resolve...

Not so much.
While most controllers are indeed way overpriced, a powers strip can't come close to the same capabilities.
While it's not necessary needed, it's definitely one of the things in this hobby worth spending the money on.
