This is bad timing with the swap and all, but my tank chemistry is having problems. Most of my mushrooms are melting, plus my xenia has mostly melted away. Took a sample to AG and this is what came back:
ph 7.9 A little low
Nitrate 50 overfeeding new clowns, most likely
Iodine 0 can I use the dipping solution, if so, how much in 40 ga?
Alk 9.0
Ca 470
Ammonia 0
Did a 10% water change, so nitrate is a little lower now. The AG guy said xenia needs Iodine, well, I guess everything needs iodine. It's not in IO mix?
ASM skimmer still not producing. Water level in skimmer is up to the top of the cylinder, right where it bevels in.
Any help, ideas would be much appreciated.
