After we had a conversation last time about the meters I did go home and did 3 tests in a row with each culvet. I've gotten consistent results every time. Did you want me to bring my meter to your place and you can see if its the meters?

When I set everything back up I dialed in everything like I still had a stocked tank. It wasn't until January when I realized my error and I was slowly backing it down. I guess I backed it down too quick, or just a bit to far. Maybe by next week it will be back where it should be. When I got 500 the first time, I tested it a second time with another test kit, and at one point I had 580ppm.

I'm just waiting on some water right now, but tonight I'm going to take out a rock, maybe two and start the cooking process. I'm also going to change the aquascape, I need change to keep me thinking that the tank will pull through.

Any thoughts on my lack of coraline growth, both on that rock in the front left of the tank and on the glass?

If you had some time at some point I would like to take you up on that offer

Not sure about the coraline. Maybe it's just being outcompeted?

You have PM about the meter.

I'll go with the rock method for now, see what happens, and I guess go from there. Photos tonight of the before/after.

As for adding more rock to my sump, its too full already. I'm going to see if I can't rearrange it to fit some more in.
