The Crazy Reefer Is Back- Just Make Sure You Never Think That This Was Your Idea.
After a great weekend away up the coast I thought it's time to change CO2 bottle over.
Wow!!! Certainly got some pressure from the new bottle.
Forget anything you thought about set and forget, this is on a brand new level of re calibration. Ok current Kh 7.00 to 7.50
Fiddled around and got the bubble count to a good spot where I think it will work.
Let's move on to the nitrate/ phosphate challenge. Ok last time I tested I got 0 nitrate and 0.05 phos .
This was two weeks ago .
After some seriously heavy feedings from acro power / reef roids and I mean heavy feeding like 250ml over two weeks I got this
To fix this I have added Nitrate to the tank . 10 ml of Nitrate solution. The tank water should read about 50ppm.
No bacteria , no sock, no carbon change in two months , nothing..... who is keen to see what the phosphate reads tomorrow this time??????
Bear in mind this is a phosphate challenge by adding nitrate! I bet the addition of nitrate brings the phosphate down , well hopefully that is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
