I just recently started dosing Neonitrate as was getting 0 nitrates from tests. I ended up buying the Hanna HR nitrate tester to verify my other tests like you. I'm finally getting nitrate. Last nights test showed 5.9. Now I need to figure out how high I want my nitrates .
Thanks man. I hear you. I've been fighting the temptation to buy some of your sticks since your right up the road. Gone a have to stop by one of these days once I clear up some room in the tank. I have a couple frags that have encrusted on the frag rack. lol
Well had a tank crash a couple months after my last post. Got a bit complacent and things went to H-E-double hockey sticks. Had a temp probe that malfunctioned. Probe was reading 78 when it actuality water temp was 10 degrees lower. Heaters never kicked in. Also didn’t check the output of my rodi. TDS was about 5 before I finally changed all the filters. I think a combination of these two things caused my crash. Lost a lot of my sticks. You live and learn. Well here it is about two years later. Tank is doing great again. Running out of room and want more sticks.
Time for a calcium reactor. I've been contemplating one myself as my alk and calc demand has been consistently rising over the past couple of months as my sticks and clams get bigger. I'm currently dosing 75ml a day of alk.
Well the tank is coming up on being a year old. Decided to break down get a ATI water test just to see how things are looking. For the most part the tank has been doing great.
Thanks for the update. I just got mine in the mail I ordered during black Friday a couple of days ago. Looking forward to actually getting all calibrated and using it this weekend.
Thanks man. I' currently running running 2 Blue + , 1 Coral +, and 1Actinic, along with my two AI Hydras 26. AIs on at 11 and off at 9. T5s on at 1 off at 7.
I think is might be too much light or flow. Mine are sitting at about 100 par or less and not in any direct flow. They have stayed put for the most for the last year.
