Not ideal, but good enough for now. And it has been steady for the past 2 months!! I tested with Salifert Test kits and a Milwaukee pH Controller.
pH - 8.6 - I think the probe on my pH controller needs cleaning. My pulsing Xenia are still pulsing which makes me think the controller is off a little bit.
Calcium - 420ppm. I plan to raise it to 450 - 480ppm How do I plan to raise it you ask?? Check out this calculator: http://jdieck1.home.comcast.net/chemcalc.html
Alkalinity - 10.2dKh/3.66meqL
Magnesium - 1350 ppm
My fatherly advice. Test what you dose!!
I guess a few of you will see my tank tomorrow when our order comes in from LiveAquaria. I vacuumed the tank and picked up all of my fish's toys so it is presentable. They better keep it clean tomorrow when I am at work.
