Looking good my friend.

Those pictures look closer then the standard camera will go. Are you using some kind of special equipment for your shots??

Have you tested your Mg lately ?
It could be low and is why you're having issues getting your Alk up
Or it could just be a whole lotta Alk usage ...
Test your Ca too

One awesome peninsula tank, the wood working and craftsmanship is top notch! This tank reminds me why I love peninsula tanks so much!

I was originally thinking about giddy-up pills, but in relation to the thread, calcium pills are appropriate, due to the lack of sunshine at this time of year

Probably a good time to ignore the gallery

Those are nice pics for a phone! What Is your alk level sitting at?

Thanks for all the advice guys (both tank and personal related...haha).

I have checked my Alk and it's sitting at 6.8 today. CA is at 450 and MG is at 1250. I use a Hanna meter for the Alk and Elos kits for the rest.

I'm dosing a crap load of Kalkwasser. I don't have my regular dosers going yet for the big three but I'm gonna have to do something pretty quick. i have changed out 150G of water in the last 3 weeks...but not much of a bump in Alk. Using IO right now and it's testing just over 9 in the holding tank before I do my water change.
