(this tank is 'big' so the readings on the left!)
All reasonable except the Alk, which has been that level for ever and ever and ever. I feel like I keep upping the dosing (longer periods, more often) but it still hovers around the 4.5 to 5.0 mark. I'm going to try and increase it each weekend until it steadily rises.
My clam hasn't been looking happy recently and I am wondering if that is why. Though it was fine for a long time before now, so not sure.
I took the decision to remove the LR and brachypus in the sump, have replaced with Marine Pure Spheres mounted on an egg-crate shelf, with chaeto and other macro algae in there. My thinking is that it will be much easier to keep the sump clean. Will take some pics when I get chance this weekend.
