Good idea man thanks. I was thinking that myself. Turning off my doser may cause more harm..
Quick question tho, what else causes calcium depletion other than consumption?
Alright just browsed thru all of these and Doug's seems to be what I'm looking for. Correcting problems. Although I still don't know what to do Lol
I tested last night and my alk is coming back down. If by tonight my numbers aren't getting closer to the targets, I'm gonna turn off the doser...
Lol ok I have 4 articles to read. I don't go to the bathroom that many times in 1 day haha thank you Doug, I'll give it a read after I get thru the bible lol
I had that same problem in the beginning with pulling in air, had fixed that though. I'm using the Marine Magic triple doser(although Im only using 2 dosers)
Yeah I think its definitely safe to say that John Lol a lot different. I'm dropped my alk, and left my calc where it is for now. I'll actually crank it up a little bit before I go to bed.
Okay so here's what I got
Alk 10.4°
Calcium 320ppm
Mag 1420ppm
Phosphate 0.00ppm
Not sure why but my phos keeps going from 0.00-0.03ppm. Using the Hannah checker.
I dropped the dosing amount for Alk by 4 seconds each interval. I'm gonna retest tomorrow and see where I am.
I hear what ur saying but I don't think its that. I tested my phos recently and it was at 0.03ppm. And my corals started bleaching before my reactor went down.
No I have alk.and calc dosing on different hours. alk at 1, 3, 5, 7 etc and calc at 12, 2, 4, 6 etc.. Guess I'll have to stop dosing. Damn this means I'm definitely gonna lose some pieces
I have no bio pellets. I had my GFO reactor going but that's on the fritz for the time being. I'm not dosing equal parts however. I have my doser going off every hour. Ex: alk at 1pm for 15 secs and calc going at 2pm for 25 secs. So on and so forth
I never had these problems when I was using B...
Nah my mixing was accurate, I made sure of that. It may be the compensating part. I did find myself raising my dosing intervals... I'm gonna test again tonight when I get home to see where I am. Hopefully my colonies pull thru
That's a good question. Haven't checked that in a little while. But I never had to. It always stayed put around 1360-1400. I'll test after work today tho
Going thru some ups and downs right now :/ all of my zoas are thriving BUT some of my SPS colonies are bleaching from the bottom. Ever since I switched from ESV B-Ionic 2 part to BRS 2 part dosing, my alk and calc have been fluctuating like crazy. I like my alk at 9-9.5 and my calc to be...
Yeah I can't imagine what kind of tank it was in before :/ either way, if AC had a bigger tank to put him in, you know he would be in there. Now if they still had the koi pond where the coral frag tanks are, they could just house him in that
