And I am so sorry that that happened

Fill it with hose water outside and watch the show. If you do this, please film!

The nitrate did not budge at first then whet down it took time to make a difference. Currently is it around 14. I do about 8 gallons a day on a 450 gallon system.

I had, well still have, a rdsb on my system. I am a hedge bet reefer, so because I had the space and an RDSB is cheap and easy it still goes. It was going when my nitrate was way high. Pretty much nothing I did impacted my nitrate and phosphate. Untill about 6 months after I stared doing auto...

THAT IS AMAZING

Squeeeeeeee!!!!

that is awesome. Can it italize? Or underline or outline?

I can't see the red/green difference!

NICE

Yep, slope calibration stuff is well known. Sameish reason you calibrate you calibrate your pH probe for the level you are actually testing. FWIW, I calibrate with DI water because it is less expensive, and I don't have to worry about it accuracy shifting.

Also, how do you know if your 35 psu solution is 35 psu, and how do you know it maintains that over time? You don't, unless you mix it and use it right away. :) Testing suuuuuuuukkkkkkkkkkkkssssssssss! Well it doesn't really suck, it is pretty great. But wanting it to be 'right' and...

I went down the salinity rabbit hole once. Bought a ton of testers. At some point, all testing sucks, and you are chasing a dragon. Now, chasing that kind of dragon can be good for you, you will learn and experince all kinds of things - except for finding a superior way to test! :)

There seems to be some awkwardness around this post that I can try to clear up. Clownfish breeders regularly cull fish that are not sellable for various reasons. Instead of wasting that resource, it seems to me that they could be better used to feed marine predators, instead of using freshwater...

If you have baby/small clownfish you are looking to cull please let me know. I am looking to use them to feed some predators. Thanks!

Ah, gotcha, great reasoning. Then mess with the levels! That said, I have kept corals growing and spawning at those levels.

What is the problem you are trying to fix?

I think any of the baseline suggestions are likely fine as a place to start. I would be more worried about underfeeding than overfeeding. I would think quantity. Most fish foods are kinda just fine. Many people are told that less feeding is critical. You are welcome. It is just exercise, do...

And I appreciate it! With some of the brain stuff I have been going through, sometimes stuff just falls off the plate!
