Sorry all for a in general noob question, but its how we all learn, trying to learn the right way the first time... So I've got a 29 gal SW, with around 7 lbs of LR, 20 lbs of live sand, 10 lbs of base rock. It has been set up for five days (short time I realize, just a tad over anxious, so Im trying to get some info.) So here are my params...
08.01.09
- NH3/NH4: 0pp,
- NO3: 2.5ppm
- Alk: 2.9-3.6
- NO2: 0.1 ppm
08.02.09
- NH3/NH4: Didnt test
- NO3: 2.5 ppm
- Alk: 2.9-3.6
- NO2: .1 ppm
- pH: 7.8
08.03.09
- NH3/NH4: .5ppm
- NO3: 10ppm
- Alk: 2.9-3.6
- NO2: .2ppm
- pH: 8.0 (buffered it up to 8.2)
08.04.09
- NH3/NH4: .5ppm
- NO3: 5ppm
- Alk: 2.9-3.6
- NO2: .5ppm
- pH: 8.3 (did not buffer)
And my SG has been right around 1.022, and current temp is 78.7. And my lighting is two T5HO, one actinic 420/460 and one 6,000K.
Any imput would be greatly appreciated, thanks. I already plan on adding more LR this weekend and ordering/buying a PhosBan Reactor.
