Why do you not like the hydrometer? Love that thing. It’s relatively inexpensive and no calibration needed (as long as you test at proper water temp).

Something to consider for sure.

Some more testing by a simple "Open the window" test -Even with the cabinet sealed with an open window -it increases the PH by nearly .08 from average 7.95 to 8.03. So the issue is the room CO2 content not the cabinet. One thing I did was also run a hose from skimmer to same open window. PH...

Welcome back! What are you checking? For alk/ca/mg I use the Neptune trident If not auto testing -then hanna works for alk, as well as sailfert. For CA I find Hanna too complicate and use sailfert. For P and N I use Hanna

Perhaps

That would be sweet. I am not sure why they don’t have any.

I kill the circulation pumps for 5 min but the return pump stays on as it helps move food gently around

If there is a lot of leftovers after a minute for reef nutrition and 2 min for pellets - -the ROE is gone in thirty seconds-like watching fish play pac-man on crack

Hi - and welcome - For myself I use the avast plank & use a combo of pellets -tdo, Pisces mysis pellets, and nyos algae -one of them is a phosphate bomb for sure! I feed that once a day. I also DIY’ed -making a mini fridge into dosing refrigerated liquids - so I dose reef nutrition’s artic...

Appreciate that- see where it is if there is one - might be more expedient to get from you if it’s in SB..

Is there a bar card floating around for a co2 monitor? Or rather does the club have one? Thanks

Assume you mean .4????

Thanks-by what you posted -I am dosing about 22x more than that! So how much are you dosing now? And what was PO4 starting point & current? Maybe I will reboot lanth but I want to see it basically gone from the system before I do so.

Interesting combo -makes sense - As for chaetogro-says a lot about what chaeto actually does to trace elements given its..concentrations..

@Thales -what would be your recommended starting dose? I had started 40:1 -perhaps it needs to be even more diluted? Ironically when I think about it I had actual split the doses over a 24 hr period -the amt in the ICP was around two. But at some point I also really changed the feeding...
