Wooo
So today saw a complete cleaning and water tests (that I had).
Looks fantastic!!
Tests:
Temp - 76.1 (lights off), 76.5 (lights on)
SG - 1.029 - ***Water change to lower to 1.025***
NH3 - 0
NO2 - 0
NO3 - <5
Kh - 130
Ca - 380
PO4 - 0
Mg - 1480
Cu - 0 (go figure - ha ha)
I have been dosing builder to raise my Kh and now that it is, it seems the calcium is actually dropping.
I believe the trace amount of NO3 is due to a heavier feeding regimen. I installed a feeder to give my Lyretail Anthias a couple extra feedings a day.
I also removed my foam pad from the sump. Going to go foam/filter sock free and see if it works for my system. So many people argue against the use of them "clean water through old S***" . So, removed. Why not try it out.
