There is a lesson in there. Let things be for a bit and they get happy.Corals decided to color up while I was gone!
I didn’t think I messed with my tank THAT much. My sitter still completely nearly all daily/weekly upkeep chores just like I do.There is a lesson in there. Let things be for a bit and they get happy.
Did you verify you're getting 18ml out of the tubes?I've been dosing 18ML per day confirmed since I got home on the 16th and my alk has dropped from 10 to 8.6. Holy hell how much AFR will this tank consume?
Yes, it seems to spit out 18ML. I noticed sometimes it spits out air halfway through so I'll have to figure out why.Did you verify you're getting 18ml out of the tubes?
If you have a kitchen scale, I'd weigh your bottle, and then weight it again after a couple days. You should see it drop 18g'ish daily.I've decided that I'm over having 0 N & 0 P and risking dinos. I ordered sodium nitrate and trisodium phosphate and I have 2 dosing heads free anyways. I'll go extremely slowly and target the Redfield ratio around 5ppm nitrate and and 0.3ppm phosphate. I'm hoping for better coral growth and coloration.

Verified that both dosing output lines spit out bubbles despite the lines being fully primed when running for more than 10 seconds. My dosing container has depleted to nearly empty so I know its getting most of what I ask it to dose.If you have a kitchen scale, I'd weigh your bottle, and then weight it again after a couple days.

The air bubble is suspicious. In my VOSS bottle setups, air bubble has always meant I'm not getting output like I expect, because if air can get in then backflow is occurring too.
I broadcast feed 20ML/day of A/B+. I’d like to setup a mini fridge to also dose eggs and phyto!Have you tried broadcast feeding with like oyster eggs, reef roids, phyto etc to raise nutrients and feed corals?
Or...ignore it and let things be. The weather cools off in a week, open your window then.I usually have my window open with a box fan pulling air out but I've been running my AC non stop becasue of this heat wave. Checked my pH and it's in the mid to high 7s. Yikes.
Maybe it's time for Kalkwasser?
