By the way, I just upgraded from Current Orbit to Maxpect Razor. Not sure what that will do? What fun!

OK. So I've been a bit slack with the readings. But here is what I have

last reading was on 2/3/2018

CA 460
8.4 ALK
1350 MG
2.5 ppm Nitrate

I used Red Sea for CA, Salifert for CA and MG.

The one on the left has looked like this for over a year. The one on the right has been getting this green spots on it with/in the last month or so.

I should probably do another water test. But what a pain!

Once I retire I'll have more time to putz and play with this. But not now.


I do 16 gallon water change every week. My tank is 55 gallons with a 20 gallon sump.

You all reply faster than I can reply to your reply. Having a beer. Hope you are too!

I have 4 power heads. Not sure the power of these. And I have a return for the sump to the display. I think that is pretty good.

Thanks you guys and gals!
I'm not a vet in salt water but 10% water per week is safer. Less volume of water less shock. Bigger water change bigger consequences.
