Have quite a few more but it's saying I've reached my quota? Sent from my SM-G925V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

So thought I'd do a little photo dump since I've gotten some new things recently.. Sent from my SM-G925V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hey bribo so I've been messing around with the calculator and when I enter desired alk around 8.0 it says balanced calcium is ~420. Does this mean I should be dosing a little calcium as well to raise mine from 400 ppm in order to hit my desired alkalinity of 8.0 dKH? Sent from my SM-G925V using...

That's comforting to hear that it took a lot to make a change for someone else as well. I've been using the aquavitro line solely because I was give a free sample of the entire reef line so I figured I would give the eight.four, cacification, and ions a go since I had recently noticed in order...

Few pic updates. Along with a new acro I got a couple weeks ago Thought I'd toss one in of the eel hanging out in his cave Sent from my SM-G925V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I wasn't using one and was using the initial amount suggestion on the bottle and then hoping to test and see how much it raised and go from there to establish a daily amount needed to keep things close to a set number. Thanks for the link though. I will definitely start using that from now on...

In the past I had struggles with a ton of LPS due to my alk going below 7. I guess preferably I would like to get it to hover atleast around 8 dKh or so. More so I guess is I just want to understand what's going on with my dosing regimen and why I am not seeing an increase in alk at all. I want...

I checked both and the highest it's ever read was around 7.5.. I'd like to get it up to around 10 dKH gradually but obviously I'm doing something wrong it seems Sent from my SM-G925V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Also when I add the 5 mL of alk it turns white when it hits the tank water and then disperses throughout. Would this be precipitation occurring then? If so wouldn't I be seeing a drop in calcium? Any help is greatly appreciated as I've never physically had to dose before. I'm slightly familiar I...

So over the past week or 2 I've started dosing alkalinity as my tank is well below where i would like it and water changes just don't seem to keep up. I've been using the aquavitro liquids to do so. Here are my tank params using salifert test kits: 20 long tank Salinity 1.026 using reef crystals...

You could check out the jebao wp10. Very powerful for its size and comes with the wavemaker controller. Runs around $50 I think? I use one in my 20L with a 425 gph koralia on the opposite side pointed behind my rock to take care of any dead spots Sent from my SM-G925V using Aquarium Advice...

Also fixed the alk levels. Just a stupid mistake on my part. I had run out of calibration fluid for my refractometer and put off getting some more until I needed to order some salt again. Found my salinity was actually at 1.020 which is why I just couldn't keep the alk up. anyway, did some...

So alk is being drained pretty quick it appears. I have a calcium test kit on the way as well so I can see how fast that is being drained as well. Weekly water changes just don't cut it anymore so looks like I need to start dosing. Would a 2 part kit be best like the one from kent? Sent from...

Love the addition. I just got a golden dwarf moray for my reef. Eels in a full on reef I think are so cool since you don't see it too often. Sent from my SM-G925V using Aquarium Advice mobile app
