Long time and no update
I've switched over to Randy's 2-part and also installed a 3rd dosing pump (
Schlobster 1.1ml/min) for Mag
I've cut my annual dosing costs from $150 to $30
I bought Calcium Chloride from Home Hardware; 20KG for $25.99
Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate from Canreef Sponsor/Member TimT; 10KG for $39
I buy my Baking Soda and Epsom Salts from Walmart for; approximately $4/2KGs and $9/4KGs respectively
Our corals are looking very happy and growing well
Of course the biggest grower is the green birdsnest
This was Feb
This week
If your eyes are sharp enough you saw that one branch of the brown slimer in the back right of the tank is pointing the other way. I had a glass cleaning mishap and decided to glue the broken bit facing the other direction
Looking at the 2 pics shows me that it's not the Green Slimer that's growing so much as the birdsnest. Looks like it's time to trim it back before there's a battle
I had Ram3500 come by on Wed the 23rd and he helped me prune the front of the birdsnest to get it away from the glass, plus he took away a bunch of the GSP. Thanks Ian !!
I'll be adding another update shortly as I'm going to attempt to add a larger pump to my skimmer
Stay tuned ...
