Thanks!
It needs alot of cleaning up, re: that darn red algae. I'll get serious about tackling it when I finally get everything moved to a larger tank and have a skimmer running.
Lights are 1 - 96w PC with 2 x 30w actinic's in a ghetto hood - the ends of the lamps stick out over the edges of the tank
No skimmer...
2 x MaxiJet 600's
75w Ebojaeger heater
20# LR (Manado & Haitian)
RO/DI water (Aquasafe)
IV drip set with milk jug, for top off H2O
The system is located in my hobby room and sits on a piece of plywood over an old treadle sewing machine - DH warns me that it had better look ALOT prettier when relocated to the living room
I test daily with a refracto and pH pen, and everything (so far...) stays fairly stable except for a nightly pH drop, and I'm working on that...
Param's (Salifert):
NH4 - 0
NO2 - 0
NO3 - 0
SG - 1.025
pH - 7.9 - 8.2
CA - 380 - 400
dKH - 10.5 - 11
