So the 75 is making progress.
Here are the details.
Amonia. 2.4 eek.
Salinity 1.028 ugh
Ph. 8.3 haven't had a chance to clock the swing. That will happen tom I'll be home all day.
Calcium. 480
Nitrite. .01
Phosphates. .25
Iron. .01
I dosed a double dose of ammonia down. After 3 days of single dozing. I'm using sachem prime water conditioner. It continues to drop slowly. I'm gonna do a water change tom. Only thing is my return keeps spitting bubbles into my tank when the water level drops. I've never had a system with a sump so it kinda stresses me out. Is that normal?
Other than that my skimmer is doing ok as far as I can tell. I'm gonna take some pics tom. The vortec is awesome I have crazy flow. I'm upgrading to an evolution led setup prob next week and scrapping the halides to cut back on the electric bill. Anyone have experience with that u nit? I'm anxious to get my coral in this tank and its mostly spas so I'm a bit leery about making the switch.
Thanks! And expect a ton of pics tom. That and if anyones looking to get some tattoos In the rhode island mass. Area I'd love to help out and talk reef tanks. I'm currently working on a reef full back piece on a diver friend of mine who's been all around the world studying reefs. I'll post the first tattoo pics on reef addicts!
