  4. Algae Help!!!

    Hello all! For lack of better terms I would consider myself a "water nazi". I sample my water at least three times a week to verify everything is at its proper levels.

    PH - 8.2
    Salinity 1.025

    Calcium 500
    Magnesium 1350
    Alkalinity 8.9

Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself, but I would like to order one soon. In my last iteration of this tank, prior to the rebuild, I had a heater that I'm not sure ever came on. The pumps and lighting kept it quite warm. This new design is using ...
