Looking good my friend.

Those pictures look closer then the standard camera will go. Are you using some kind of special equipment for your shots??:mrgreen:

Have you tested your Mg lately ?
It could be low and is why you're having issues getting your Alk up
Or it could just be a whole lotta Alk usage ...
Test your Ca too

One awesome peninsula tank, the wood working and craftsmanship is top notch! This tank reminds me why I love peninsula tanks so much!

I was originally thinking about giddy-up pills, but in relation to the thread, calcium pills are appropriate, due to the lack of sunshine at this time of year

Probably a good time to ignore the gallery

Those are nice pics for a phone! What Is your alk level sitting at?

Thanks for all the advice guys (both tank and personal related...haha).

I have checked my Alk and it's sitting at 6.8 today. CA is at 450 and MG is at 1250. I use a Hanna meter for the Alk and Elos kits for the rest.

I'm dosing a crap load of Kalkwasser. I don't have my regular dosers going yet for the big three but I'm gonna have to do something pretty quick. i have changed out 150G of water in the last 3 weeks...but not much of a bump in Alk. Using IO right now and it's testing just over 9 in the holding tank before I do my water change.
