Now this I'd like to learn more about. Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it. So far, I'm not seeing an improvement. pH still is hovering around 7.7.
I've got the same thing starting all over my rocks too. I'll be raising the pH to see if that helps. In theory, less co2 in the water should be less...
My guess on the leaching phosphates is that the initial die off is the biggest concern. After a couple weeks in water all of the chemical breakdown...
I particularly don't trust them when something is way different than I'd expect.
I understand the theory. It's what I've always assumed. Makes sense. However, I started yesterday morning before lights about every 4 hours until...
I'll continue to test. Haven't seen any fluctuations so far.
That's what I expect I'll end up doing. Just want to collect information on the other options.
So far I've been maintaining Ca & Alk with water changes. That may change though if things start growing. That is my plan b if I can't raise pH with...
Thanks for the input mr bill. Plenty of flow in there. Have a Gyre and Jabao sloshing water around. also a 50 gallon sump with about 2' x 4' surface....
what is the best and easiest way to raise pH? Ok, some history. I've known about chronically low pH in my systems for a while. I thought I could...
Testing is the key. Fixing a problem that isn't there can only lead to trouble. I also suggest an iodine test kit if you are dosing iodine. It...
Also I've heard that Wally World has battery powered air pumps in the fishing section. Used to keep live bait alive.
Looks like they are going to get along
That's funny, I don't recall seeing pics.
I see what you are saying. I'm ok with having a ballpark value knowing that the precision of the tests are not that great. Mostly looking for...
Thanks for the tips. What's funny about this is that before the elevated reading, I was dosing 3ml of 2 part per day and values were steady at 10....
Seems I have to learn the lesson of test accuracy every now and then. Glad I didn't try to correct anything till I was sure.
That blue tenius glows.
Pods are my guess. How big are they?
Sorry for the delay folks but here are my latest measurements: Older Salifert ALK: 9.5 dKH Newer Salifert: 9.8 dKH Hanna colorimeter: 9.9 dKH All...
