Contestants have until the end of the day Thursday, February 9th to complete and answer the following. 1. Please post a current picture of your frag. 2. Have you tested your water recently? (i.e. calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, nitrate, phosphate, nitrite, ammonia, salinity, etc.) For each test completed please share your results. (If tested multiple times, please share the date you tested and what your results were. ------------- Yes, I'm a Pharmacist. No, the blue lights at my house are not growing "pharmaceuticals"... |

I have finally gone a few weeks with a params stable and it is showing in the corals in my tank. I will be changing my T5's over the next couple weeks so we will see what that does if anything. My params are as follows. I check far to much to list them all here. Overall this is where they are as their has very little to no fluctuation. Alk 8.3 - 8.5 Calc 410 Mag 1320 No3 0 - trace Po4 0 - .02 Temp 77. - 78. Potassium 400 First pic taken under Blue+ T5's & RB leds. Second pic taken under all T5's & RB leds.   ------------- 90 gal reef w/refugium 24 gal softie tank 11 gal nano anemone tank 5 gal fresh water |

Is Dennis the only one with a frag still left? That would be total blasphemy!  Dennis it is putting out a skirt again so that's a nice change.------------- My ocean. 90g (yup, won it!), 40g, 28g, & 10g Systems PADI Advanced Open Water http://utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=63568&title=krazies-nano-paradise" rel="nofollow - Tank Thread: |

 1/22/17 Po4 - 0.10 SG - 1.026 Mg - 1360 Ca - 420 KH - 9.5 2/5/17 No3 - 4 Po4 - 0.05 SG - 1.026 Mg - 1300 Ca - 395 KH - 9.5 Just for Dennis I tested Nitrate this last weekend. It was a bit higher than expected, but not too terrible given the increase in feeding since I got the new wrasses. -Dave |
