the acro's look alot closer than they are so don't worry about that one

params as of today - not tested for a month but after speakin to jas today i fought i might as well:

sg 1.025
PH (roughly) 8.1
temp 24.8
nitrates <5
mag 1260
cal >420
PO4 <0.03
KH 6.1

no i no the mag needs to come up and i can do that fine but what would you guys reccomend for bringing the KH up?

comments welcome thanks

hi luke, welcome to the site. tank looks nice, although a bit small for the tang.

sodium bicarb is good for kh

[Dave.I]

Looking great

Unless you are maintaining youre kh by regular bicarb addition via a dosing pump i would bring the kh up to 9 or a little more to be on the safe side.

thanks dave

yeh, just ordered some reef buffer from muzzy so shall see how i get on with that it's always been around 9, not to sure why it's dropped tbh but i'll bring it up slowly

gota admit i've done things a bit arse-backwards, adding new corals THEN testing

and the tang will be fineeeeeeeee

[dave14]

Looking good, nice aquascaping

Welcome to I/R m8 .

Tank looks lovely, and like Dave said regarding the Kh 9 to 9.5 is good but please do this slowly as your corals have to adjust slow as they would have settled to the Kh levels there in now

Keep the pics rolling in m8

thanks jas - what sorta increment would you reccomend per day?

0.5 daily? or would that still be too much of a shock?

[lindsay]

Welcome to IR,0.5 should be fine.

well when i bought it off jas he said it was an acro, possibly formosa? but come to think of it i see what you mean...be interesting to get a definitive answer dave, looks happy whatever it is though

[lindsay]

Acropora Formosa,grean slimer if you lift it out of the water lol,very nice coral.
