I'd like to see your test results.Just to see how stable they are.Test and post daily for 1 week.And I'll even say please and post mine for tonight:D
Ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and phosphate-0
PH 8.46
Temp-78.1
calc-400 down from 420 yesterday
alk-10DKH down from 12 yesterday
mag-1395
 
I have a spreadsheet with about 6 months of ca/alk/mag readings I made when I was figuring out my dosing schedule.
If I can find it, I'll post it.
 
Sorry Yote, I'd love to participate on this but I leave for 10 days tomorrow. Here's todays test though:
Alk 6dkh (100ppm lamotte)
Calc 480
Mag 1350
Temp 27.1c (about 80f)
pH 8.2
No3 0.2
phos 0.03

Alk is pissing me off, was 8 on sunday. 6 is way too low, and I'm nervous leaving the tank for so long without being able to dose.
 
I dont know that I could leave my tank for 10 days with the alkalinity dropping like that.
I probably would if I didnt have any other choice,but there would be some intense dosing and testing classes before I left with strick orders not to forget or screw it up.
Hope you get it worked out pretty quick Jag.
 
Temp = 78
Salinity = 1.023
Ammonia = 0ppm
Nitrite = 0ppm
Nitrate = 20ppm
pH = 8.3

I added a marine buffer today so hopefully this hugh jump in pH won't be to traumatizing to the fish, I didnt' think it would go up that quick!
 
Here's mine (attached in as my wife refers to it, my reefgeek spreadsheet!, oh no it's not I couldn't paste it in properly!!): -

Temp: 80 Deg F
Specific Gravity: 1.024
pH: 8.4
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nirate: 5mg/l
Carbonate Hardness: 11.2dKH
Phosphate: 0.5mg/l
Calcium: 440ppm
 
Friday:
temp-78

far too busy at this time to test all that stuff every night. sorry man. the only thing im interested in checking at this point is my mag. btw what mag test kit are you using yote

here is my closest guess.

Friday
water around 78 should be as long as my heater is doing its job, phosphates definitely there.

Saturday
see friday
