My Dory is roughly 5 years old and approximately 6” now. Last time I was at the LFS and be Dorys are so tiny! |
Finally got the chaeto growing like crazy! Nitrates are stable at 2.5ppm using a salifert test kit. It really took off out of nowhere with this new light.

Got Skim!?
Here is the foam head being produced by my Vertex Alpha along with the skimmate in the collection cup. It is still watery but it is nice and dark. Also it smells horrible and my nitrates are steady at around 2.5ppm between my Skimmer and chaeto in the Fuge. Let me know your thoughts on the consistency of the skim.

On another note... I’m finding it harder to find Reef Crystals at the LFS these days. I picked up a pail of Fritz Rpm salt as big als now carries this as a replacement to the Reef Crystals. I only bought be one pail as I have never used be Fritz products and I want to ensure it mixes well and within stable parameters.
Parameters* Salinity 35 ppt (1.0264 sg) Calcium 400-450 ppm Magnesium 1300-1400 ppm Alkalinity 8.0 - 9.0 dKH Strontium 9 ppm Potassium 400 ppm These numbers seem to be good if they are true to the mixing table. I will be using RODI water as my source. Anyone have experience with this salt? Used it and went away from it? Looking for feedback. Thanks. http://i.imgur.com/aPGF1o8.jpg |
Reef Crystals is old technology. These newer mixes are much better, mixing clear within minutes and ready to use within the hour. I go through a pallet of this every month. It's great.

Yah, 50pcs of 200 gal mix. I wouldn't go back to reef crystals if a pallet was dropped at my front door and Taylor Swift asked me nicely.

Well I feel a lot better about my purchase of this new salt :lol:
