Roskoreefs 184G Reef

ran out of k-balance so i hooked up my last pump for this new bottle.



also found a sweet red and orange goniopora, pretty small and hard to see the colours in the pic, really should get on a better camera ( or an actual camera for that matter)



my wild acro is now all blue and hints of green, still tan polyps, hoping for orange.. here is the progression of the colour - had some problems with mag and had to save a bunch and fragged it out.

some new fish, Hoeven's wrasse, yellow eye tang and a purple fairy wrasse. the red coris is getting bigger, still not too much of a trouble maker.

That wild Acro is purdy! I think you're going to get green polyps if anything.

today my dog kept whining at the tank... aparently all he wanted was to check out the clowns lol. he now sits on the couch and watches them..



flower pots are going crazy lately..







still trying to raise alk.. has been at 5.9 dkh for almost a week, corals dont seem to mind. I have been upping my alk and calc dose everyday and not much change... i did just get mag to sat at 1350, maybe it is allowing for higher consumption of alk and calc.. anyone have ant ideas for this sudden usage, now at 56ml/day from 6ml/day 2 weeks ago.

Don't use your doser to raise your alk in snall increments that will take forever adjusting here and there , just add in bulk sodium bicarbonate into some ro water and bulk dose it just don't add more than 1dkh a day is all even half a dKH would have you there in days

[reefwars]

56 mls a day is nothing I do that in my 40g with a lsrhe heavily stocked sps tank wait until it's 256mls a day lol I know someone who uses 1g a week of bicarbonate solution that's over 3500 MLS in 7 days incredible really when you divide it down
