Testing with Hanna and I just input test results into Apex.
No, polyps are out and everything looks normal. I think as long as you stay in a 2 DkH range and don’t move too quickly, coral can tolerate it. In my opinion, people over exaggerate how sensitive coral are to alk fluctuations.
It seems to dissolve easier, but the only real meaningful difference is that it costs twice as much as their old Kalk. Either way, you don’t want to blow the sediment into your tank. I’d go back to the old stuff if I could....I don’t think they sell it anymore.
I agree I test all maybe once a week. Once things settle in I don’t worry about it much. All swing will also be dependent on pH fluctuations. My pH varies wildly night-to-day so I’m willing to bet if I had an alk monitoring system it’d show alk fluctuations night-to-day as well.
Best lights I've owned and I had Radions before I made the switch.
I’ve always had a lot of pods, and you can see some in the chaeto in the vid, but mysis is new to me. I’ve been seeing them for a month or so, but never really looked at them closely. People on R2R confirmed they are mysis.
I thought brine at first until 5-6 people on R2R said they were mysis. But, these do look a lot like the sea monkeys I had as a kid.
