eMac’s 187g Lee-Mar tank rebuild

Alk still sitting around 8.1 to 8.2 dKh.
I’ve modified my calcium reactor pH swings a bit tho. I’m still running the alk based staged pH on the calcium reactor. At night from 9pm to 9am I raise the pH in the reactor to a high level that I don’t cause the media to melt. I was noticing alk up swings at night then dips by the end of the day.
I now test all twice a day 8am and 2pm. Depending on the alk level at those two time it determines what the pH level should be in the calcium reactor. Sense running my program this way I’ve seen a dramatic improvement in the PE on most of my SPS.

Got me ICP test results back today.
A bit high on Strontium, Molybdenum, and Vanadium. I found what color enhancements additive those three were in and turns off the dosing of that additive for the time being. I also increased the dosing for potassium and iron. Cause those where a little on the low side.
