I've been reading up on the elements in a planted tank and while KH serves a purpose, it only needs to be a certain range. And a very low range at that. Ca and Mg constitutes most of GH so there is a need for measurement there, sort of. The levels are so low that the Trident wouldn't be able...

Awesome! Been hard to get information like this with real numbers. I see a wide range in KH on the chart. Is there an ideal KH range? As I understand it, GH value is more impactful than KH value in a planted tank and there isn't really a relationship between GH and KH. I'm always glad for...

Thanks for the write up. In searching for GH test kits, I've only found the API one. Is there a better test kit? It seems most people test for GH but not KH?

Yes, there will be an Apex involved. This is for me to get some experience in the planted arena to see how I can use the Apex to make it easier. Most I've spoken to have expressed that its pretty easy already but I'm aiming for the super high tech planted tank. Seems like the planted tank...

And so a new journey begins. Tank is level, sorta. Level enough, I guess is the appropriate word. Wood will be slightly more upright, need to have some support underneath to bring it up more. Probably need a taller light mount too. Got soil and supplements already. I'll be heading to...

Why 500x and not the AP9X? Tank is only 28" tall

Sorry. Don't know, can't say even if I knew.

We use certain processes that ensure the alkalinity stays stable from when we test the solution to when you 1st open the bottle. Once the bottle is open, the alkalinity levels will start to change..

Maybe that's the "name"!?! LOL

The picture shows them after the drain, in the skimmer chamber.

Well I'm sorta glad to see it wasn't just me.

Dose into the return chamber. I put my lines right into the last baffle before the return chamber.

Dang it. So bummed I missed it. Still can't believe I spaced on the date!

OMG.. my sincerest apologies. I totally spaced and thought it was tomorrow! In my mind it was always on the 27th for some reason!... Grrr...

Since TIm has graciously allowed me to temporarily switch out the lights, I will be there pretty early to get that done before the swap so that I will have time to fulfill my volunteer duties.

Just say when. Bourbon is the drink of choice, but beer/wine/scotch/tequila/mezcal/sake/brandy/etc works too. I do not discriminate when it comes to alcohol.

I would have to swap out the whole light then. I have a mount that should work well. If Tim is willing to do a switcheroo for the event. Did it at Neptune Aquatics over several tanks that had Kessil AP9Xs. Corals didn't skip a beat if you are worried about that. Just let me know.

Unfortunately I will be in Seattle for ReefWorx that weekend.

If Tim is game, that would work great! What kind of tank and lights does he have?

Great to see quite an increase in the number of axial coralites on the Pearlberry. Others look healthy too! Awesome!
