first day with qavees fitted
co2 on 2 hours before lights.
co2 runs for 9 hours.
lights run 9 and a half hours with 30 minutes sunrise and 60 minutes sunset.
had to turn pumps up 6 % a bit of flow loss..
co2 same as with reactors just to see what's what.
massive bubbles in the tank. had to turn co2 down 3 hours in. ph was dropping too much.
good start with the co2 use as it was turned down a far bit so I will have to do another ph profile..
secound day
bubbles smaller and there's a mist too. had too reduce the pumps down to normal flow rate so theres no flow loss at 700lph..
had to reduce co2 again around 6 hours in so I have reduced co2 from can't really count the bps to around 8-10 bps..
happy so far.. need to see if plants agree but all good so far.
degassed tank water ph 8.1-8.3
degassed tap water ph 7.6-7.8
in tank degassed(night) ph 7.3
co2 on ph 6.3 fish are all ok..
water temperature set at 24
sump 24 degree's
tanks 23 degrees
2 wcpw 200L total.
I leave my tap water in 100L bin all day with air and heat it up to 23 degrees.
I do not test for anything i mean nothing but ph and ec or ppms.
OK maybe co2 drop checker if you want to split hairs.
I dose for 280L dry
kno3 3.2 g 3 times pw
kh2po4 0.6 g 3 times pw
k2so4 1g 3 times pw
500ml mix dosing 10ml 3 times pw
kelamix micro and chaleted iron powder plus 150grams magnesium sulfate.
iron 0.12 ppm each dose
magnesium around 1 ppm per dose
seachams iron once pw 0.10ppm
