Conskis 34 Gal Solana Build

Charles is the walking encyclopedia. His advice is top notch and he is correct about the chalice, it would do fine in the 14G with the lighting you have now. If/when you put it in your 34G it will definitely need to be on the bottom and possibly partially shaded.
 
charlie was really nice, he seemd excited about the order too haha and he told me to raise the ph of my tank to help rid of the dino.. i dk know how to up the ph nor do i wanna use a buffer? but its at 8 i think right now so i thinks its high enough
 
I am using Seachem Balance right now to do just that.. raise the pH without raising the Alk or CA. You can easily raise it up to 8.4 and not have issues, but do it over the course of a few days, not all at once. Remember, pH is always at its lowest in the morning and highest right before the lights turn off, this is natural. The best way to dose Alk is to do it overnight and not at all during the day because pH drops at night and the Alk will help keep the pH up.
 
o man im gonna be so worried when it comes down to me having to dose im gonna need a full on crash course.. i think even when your corals arive ill be able to avoid dosing alk and CA by doing once a week water changes.

should i raise it or is okay where it is?
 
I would try and maintain a 8.2-8.4 range during daylight hours and a 7.9-8.2 range for the dark hours.

Wanna know the easiest solution to dosing? HERE. 2 of those, 2 digital timers, 2-Part, and test kits to get the dosing regiment dialed in with the timers and your on easy street for dosing.
 
sounds good, ill keep it in mind once the time comes!
 
Couple pics to tease you with.. ;)
