The good:
Nitrates are down (from 1.2).
Silicates are coming down (from 2.5) and Mg levels going up (from 888).
The bad:
Phosphates are still high, though hopefully thePhosban reactor(s) added a week will now help reduce this - also have begun a regimie of rinsing food and reducing form 4 feedings a day down to 2 feedings a day (I work on the feed less, but feed often mindset)
Calclum has dropped - will have to buffer that one back up.
Potassium has gone down, likely a result of starting up the
fuge and adding chaeto (which is growing like crazy).
Not too bad, still work to be done, as always, it takes time !!!
