Premium's been out of it for some time now. When I was looking for it several months back, I feel like I stumbled across a thread somewhere saying is may have been discontinued. I was quite bummed as that stuff had absolutely no dust whatsoever.

Yep. Tempered bottom panel on these. Picked up my 40b Sunday afternoon, drilled the back and ready to plumb 30 minutes later.

3 boxes IO please!

Beautiful tank!!

Yep. Will do.

I'll try to get something up in the next day or two. Alright if I post up the results sheets I got?

Hannah for Alk Hannah or salifert for Ca Playing around with some Triton mail off tests I picked up at MACNA. Interesting so far...

Good deal! Look forward to meeting/seeing some WAMAS folks! I should be in the back left when you come in.

This Saturday in Lancaster, anyone going?

Beautiful stuff!

Doesn't look like red bugs to me. A lot of polyp extension showing to have them from my experience.

Marcofrags, as in frags from Marco I believe.

Love Rubbermaid stock tanks! So versatile!! I have 2 50g setup for my frag system.

Looks like Whelk snails.

Probably a stupid question, but you are clicking the "send to apex" button afterwards?

Nice looking setup! Welcome to the club!

Yep! I'm going!! Meet you guys at the bar!

Mine is mid tank under indirect flow and not a ton of light. That said, I feed the crap out of it several times a week.

My 34g Solana by far. What a crappy filtration system. At some point, it will be upgraded...

I have one you can borrow. Shoot me a text tomorrow and we'll work out a time to meet up.

Wow! Nice looking pieces!

Personally, I would do it over several days. From experience, Alk swings scare the daylights out of me, so I have always done my adjustments over a series of days. Recently, I had gone too long without checking my Ca levels. Turned out, I ended up with my Ca going down to 360 while my Alk hovered around 7.0dkh (I keep my Alk around 7.8dkh and my Ca around 420). I took 5 days to get things back in check. I know I could have done my adjustment in one day, I just find it easier to dial in my maintenance dose over the course of several days. Now that I'm rambling, the numbers say you should be fine. Would I move forward with that plan? I wouldn't. That said, I may be a little over cautious... Hah!

+1 I too would slowly raise the Alk to the point at which you want it. You have to be nimble though, as adding just the Alk over a period of time will cause your Ca to lower at some point. Get the Alk to whatever number you have predetermined as ideal for your system watching your Ca as you move forward. Once you hit the spot where Ca starts to lower, dose both parts until you achieve your goal. That's been my experience with 2-part over time.
