Hi All,
I'm going on a cruise in a week. I'm leaving the tank in the hands of my daughter (no experience) with needed advice from a SW fish only guy if needed.
My plan is to have pre-measured food for them to feed.
I also plan to stop dosing Kalk.
My thoughts are that it will be easier for them to squirt Seachem Calcium, Iodine and Stronium in every couple days as opposed to having to worry about dripping Kalk. I would also have them throw a couple gallons of pre-made RO/DI in the sump every evening.
My parms for the 120 right now.
ALK 5.0 meg/l
Ca 400
PH 8.3
SGA 1.024
Ni 0
Na 1
I will be having the seachem dosed at about 50% of the prescribed dosage. I figure too little will be better than too much.
Also I plan on doing a 15% water change right before I go.
Anybody have any suggestions for my plan?
Any idea how much my ALK or Ca will drop using this method for 9 days?
Thanks,
Mike
