Thank a bunch guys.

First off I have to say how happy I am with the little naso...he/she is sooooooooo fat with algae and the tank is visibly cleaner. I never would have thought a fish that size would have such an impact. On the flip side I think he may be a stinker once he grows up some. He already doesnt show any fear of the two much lager tangs and even has a bit of "tude" about them.


Ok, so here is the reason for me switching salts. The tests from this morning were
sg .024
dkh 9 elos
Mg 1320 Sali
Ca 380 Sali
and I dosed
3 caps of Tailored aquatics dkh
3 caps of Tailored aquatics Mg
and 100ml of kent 2 part
Just to keep things where they are...I have dosed that amount everyday for four days Something had to give. So the first and least expensive thing to change I figure is the salt. The slick new packaging is what sold me on the deltec salt...cool looking black bucket....oh ya and there was something else about the levels being good or something. So.....I tested it.

sg .024
dkh 5 not so impressed with that
Mg 1440
Ca 480
So I will be doing the first change on the tank tomorrow...I thought I could ease off on the testing but will now have to tweak things a little Im sure to get things figured out.....Im also sure an expensive calcium spewing gadget is in the near future. I love this hobby.

FWIW, just tested my first batch of IO since switching back to IO, here's what I got (not that you asked, but I hate testing, and I have to do it anyhow, so I'm going to tell anyone who listens now what #'s I come up with).

SG@1.025, dKH=11, Ca=340, Mg=1110. Interesting that one salt has the Alk and one has the Ca. Maybe a mixture of both is the answer?
