7.9. pH with 3 gallons of kalk all at once - i would’ve guessed it would turn out higher but I guess not
Check salinity. Kalk is still mostly plain water
You maxed the trident on calcium btw, it’s not 600ppm, it’s above that. if it reads an actual number tomorrow I would leave it be. Under 600, let it come down on its own, i think there’s been too much sharp change recently.
Water changes are good but man, there’s been a lot of params swinging all over the place. Doing less is more. Let things chill lol
I’m worried for your more sensitive corals :/

I had to watch all the YouTube videos to make sure I was doing the Hanna tests correctly. So after another 20% water change. I retested and I think we finally have good numbers. Fish and corals seem to have been unaffected during this process and I haven’t had any loses so far..... from the water at least. Clownfish got sucked into the skimmer pump by accident. Fingers crossed . Salinity is at 34.4

Yeah. I started to mount frags on the sides, back and underneath the rocks, lol. Time to put on the brakes. I keep telling myself No more then I see something cool. I’m going to try to hold out for a Glitter Bomb Goni. I’m going to end up killing them or adding more tanks if I keep this up. Hopefully I don’t do both.
My name is Tom, and I’m a reefing addick. Is reefaholic a word? Good thing I didn’t go with a big tank. I do have a Reef Casa 12g coming this week tho. Couldn’t resist the $199 deal and I figured it would make a good hospital tank

First ICP came in. Phosphates a little high so I added a Reactor with RowaPhos and a 18W UV. Switched to Fauna Marin Salt to see if this could be the one that I stick with long term.
I was shocked to see a Super Male Rhomboid Golden Fairy Wrasse on saltwaterfish.com for $99. Had to get one! The last time I had one of those was 14 years ago in my Oceanic 180. Paid $350 for it back then only to see it on the floor a couple of month later. This tank's covered so hopefully we'll see him around for a little longer.
Started using Fauna Marine's coral food products and Amino acids. Anyone have experience with their line of products?
