Thanks guys for the explanation. I need some nitrate for my clams and use more rock than normal anyways. Plus I use Prodibio, so guess this system not for me.

Thanks to the OP for letting me ask this. Sorry for the intrusion.

If it's too high I'll just lower it

How are you gonna do that?

Yeah, if you could direct the output of your bio pellet reactor to your clams, they would probably like that... Hmmm, maybe T off one of those small lines (used for plant irrigation) directly to the clam. Probably grow at 10 fold rate... haha. And all that bio pellet waste wouldn't go up your skimmer, and down the drain as waste....:biggrin:

Maybe I got lucky with high alk and bp.
I have a fully dominated sps tank and for over a week and a half my alk was hovering at 14 then slowly dropped to 10.

No tip burned, I would be careful taking bp offline then restarting... You may get cyano by doing this. But it's probally too late as you've already done it.

I don't use zeo, already have pastel sps from feeding my fish 3 times a week.
I only run bp and rowa. Rowa is a very little amount about 2 tbsp for 95g of water volume and changed out every 2 weeks.

It makes no sense because their system promotes low alk.



I use kz salt and yes alk has been high in the last 2 boxes
