did some testing again tonight.

sg = 1.024
nitrate = 9
PO4 = 0
Alk = 223
Calcium = 360
MG = 1460

Tank is still pure white.
Rocks are slightly slimy

The readings are starting to look better. Hopefully the calcium will creep up on its own.

I did find one more thing today though. I found one of the heaters cracked and was leaking some current into the sump downstairs. Maybe thats the source of this bacterial bloom.

Still really cloudy - no change. fish still swimming in there somewhere.

Im going to start adding some ca tomorrow if the numbers stay steady.

Is your doser still running? How did the alkalinity go up?

Im not really sure what happened there. My doser is shutdown. Im going to verify what I get tomorrow for alk.
The only thing that I can think of is the slight increase in SG by evap, but thats pretty remote.
