I'm fresh back onto the reef scene and was excited to try a new brand(fritz) I've almost had my tank running 3 months now all together and with a month having corals in. Almost all of my sps have grown completely over the fresh plugs I put them on and some are starting to creep onto rock already. I've been watching my parameters for the last while and my calcium has stayed in the mid low 400s mag around 1350-1400 and alk has stuck steady for the most part strangely around 9.5-10~ I like it a lot so far as compared to the past using instant ocean seems a lot more beneficial imo.

Awesome! I’m glad to hear you like the results. I’m definitely going to give t a try and as long as the parameters are solid I will try it over a couple months. I guess this is the push I needed to get off of the Reef Crystals wagon. :mrgreen:

Top down left to right on tank. Eventually I will get better at taking photos and get rid of the blue :wink:

Sure, but not if she asked nicely.

Try the 'shade' white balance option on open camera. I use the same lights at this clients (Edmonton) and can get it into a manageable balance.

I played around with the contrast, brightness and the different effects. I was unable to drown out the blue :sad:. Photography is not my strong suit :lol:

Just out of curiosity does the Fritz RPM mix to 1.026 with roughly 2 1/2 cups of salt for 5g pail? I’m just looking for a ballpark, I will check and confirm via refractometer.

Super unhelpful answer incoming:

No clue, I've been mixing salt for so long now that it's intuitive. I just add scoops by feel, screw off and come back to 1.022-26 90% of the time.
