Week 6
Tons of frothing to froth over!
Arrived home on Friday night-
Tank survived just fine after the house sitter looking after it.
KH 7.3
Phos 0
NO3 0
Water clean- lots of brown algea on rocks , on Maxspect gyre etc etc.
corals colour good , pinks fantastic - still a long way to go but happy.
Since I was not around to tweak dosing I kept it simple,
Followed the Zeo bottle instructions routine but was too much for the tank.
I got the house sitter to do-
Start3 / 2.5ml per day
Coral Vit / 2 drops day
Amino / 2 drops day
Xtra / 1 ml day
KIF / 2drops day
Sponge Power /2drops day
Bac and Bio / mon and fri 2 drops.
Tested new Gyre 150 out -
Great to have flow from opposite sides of aquarium, will have the two units alternate and cause mass flow for the sticks.
Here is a list of frothing to be done in no order.
1.Clean Maxspect 130 been soaking in vinegar overnight.
2. Clean coast to coast , full of algea.
3. Figure out what went wrong with auto top up last week.
4. Fix noisy pump from water failure last week.
5. Sort out heater issues as 300 watts is not cutting it on this tank.
6. Re - plumb sump to by pass chiller using @thepubenator concept as seen on his sump design.
This will give me more flow instead of restriction and solve some heat loss issues.
7. Cut excess wire cables shorter and tidy up.
8. Install fans in cabinet
9. Bracket plumbing pipes after mods.
10. Go to LFS today
