Right now I run 2 250w Radiums with 2 ATI blue+, 2 ATI aquablue special and 2 VHO super actinic I think its over kill. I want to run something much more simple.

Here is my first photo of 2011.
I got home today and the first thing that greeted me was the tank that has OD in Alkalinity am going to say about 1/2 to 3/4 of a gallon. Unfortunately I don't have anyone else to blame but me. I was adjusting the setting on the timer for the dosing unit yesterday and I forgot to set an end point for one of the setpoints. the Hanna Digital displayed 214 (11.96 DKH) to most people this is somewhat borderline in my case when my reading is typically at the 130 range (7.25 DKH) this is a big jump. The first reaction is I got to do some water change which I will be doing momentarily, after I had a chance to take it all in I remembered high ALK = low CAL so i've been dosing CAL slowly. My calcium yesterday night was at 440ppm and after the initial test was taken it was a measly 240ppm. As it stand the only visible casualty so far is my sixline wrasse, and possibly an orange and a blue linkia starfish. As per my SPS from what I can see they still have there normal polyp extension. Anyways got to run a do a quick water change hopefully to stabilize the system. |

Here are a few photos taken today, am just hoping that the system will stay status quo after 1/2 gallon of alkalinity was dosed in the system within 3 hours about 2 weeks ago.

Wow....I cant beleive you had that kind of overdose of ALK and it seems your SPS barely hiccuped. A true testament to how healthy they must have been to begin with.
Beatiful pictures. Hopefully one day I will get the chance to see it in person.

Do you run a dsb and grow cheato. Is this the first time you used the NP pellets? Can you tell me you review on the NP pellets? Your tank still looking awsome even after the overdose.

No I do not have DSB. I do have something similar to a cheato in one part of the sump/refugium. Pellets are fairly new, I've started using them around June/July 2010 prior to that I was dosing dosing vodka daily. my 2 cents on NP pellets are they are a nice substitute to me dosing vodka on a daily basis, as per direct affects on the corals I cant really comment as I dont have a valid comparison. thanks for the compliments claudiojr!!!! |
