I have seen various commentary from you but curious how you are going about this? Would love to do the same but I think without running a hose to the outside to the skimmer I can’t can’t get above 8.1 without assistance of kalk, soda lime, or sodium (bi) carbonate..

Interesting.. I was going to simply take a t and have it face down back into the sump to drain the condensation.. or into the waste receptacle for the trident -it’s just moisture -

Not totally recirculating..it has vents in top of lid.. Why you take it offline? If you did-or you just don’t get the same PH anymore?

I have had a a number of wrasse jump but this is a first for a blenny.. But no more open tops though all the same

How humid though? Concerned too much humidity will gel it… is it ok to have it look like a sauna?

] The overflow does not has a cover but there is a tight lid though., but surprised. Better to land in sump -can’t get it from overflow given the cabinet build

Kalk is out due mostly to the fact that the amount of kalk needed to have an impact was exceeding the evaporation rate and was really problematic keeping it from getting into the hyposalinity state. So for the simple reason of never letting go of things-the CO2 scrubber is back in action. I...

Earlier this week I thought the Molly miller blenny bit the dust. Very surprised last night when I went to clean out the protein skimmer it was swimming around the sump. Managed to get it back in the DT and hopefully it learned its lesson..

I gotta get down to San Jose more often!

Sounds good

I can get out there but probably not til weekend.. Also if someone else wants it-they can jump the line. I am leaving in two weeks so I tend not to put anything new in the tank 2-3 weeks before I leave

I would say do some informational interviews with some people on here that actually have marine bio degrees - @Thales , @Matt_Wandell, @BAYMAC I believe have degrees in marine biology. Also go into the academic depts and talk with them. I know in other areas such as biology -there is way...

Ooops. That’s me. I’d thought I was going slow. But not slow enough. Just did cut the dose though in addition to changing dosing frequency so hopefully less escapes the skimmer and more precipitates out as waste in the skimmer cup.

I will def give this a read! Thank you. Quite the interesting journal.

Thanks. This is helpful. Def will change the dosing regimen. As I dose into the protein skimmer I limit it to night time when it doesn’t get stopped for feedings. But I can expand the time frame. Also sounds like I need to dilute even more (40:1) - I tend to keep it around .2 (for nitrates...

Ok for those who are doing this-do you regularly run ICP tests to see if there is a build up? I was a little surprised to see a 3.x value for LaCl. Obviously I cut back and changed the dosing regimen from 3x at 14.x ml to 10x at 4 ml.

Will check them both out
