I'm still alive people!.. and so is the tank! Summer was really busy and the tank was neglected quite a bit but I'm back at it and have started working at getting it back into good shape. Unfortunately, I lost a few corals and fish but despite the neglect there was quite a bit of growth in many of the corals so not all was lost.
As of today I did my third 20% water change in the last 2.5 weeks, and am working on getting my alk, which is at 9 dKH, down to closer to 7.5 dKH as I have found in ULN systems that corals respond better to lower alkalinity levels.
Parameters as of today:
pH: 8.30 (APEX)
Temp: 78.8 F
Salinity: 1.025
ALK: 9.0 dKH (ELOS)
Mag: 1250 ppm (Sailfert)
Ca: 410 ppm (Sailfert)
Nitrates: Undetectable (Sailfert)
P04: 0.02 (Hanna)
Hope to get some pics up soon.
