Recommended Posts

I've been cooking some rock for the biocube. The wife wants to change her scape... actually she really wants me to buy her a Waterbox now after the expo... Thanks Jesse! 

The 120 has been on auto pilot. I havent done much since the expo. I have some stuff to do like add a Kalk through the doser, add some plumbing to the frag tank, dial in these lights... Just have been lazy.

@Muttley000 have you ever sent water away to be tested?  

 

I did finally and all was perfect except heavy metals (lithium)were moderately high.  my light holder was slightly in the water but no other metal to speak of.  and I do 5 gallons of change every month or so.  

It has been several months but yes.  I was moderatly low on iodine and barium which I dosed per ATIs direction, and slightly low on manganese, Vanadium, molybdenum, and potassium which I also adjusted per their instructions since I had them around from prior tests.  I should get another test out as my system is using a lot more than it has in the past.

just from a mathematical perspective: dilution even at 50% changes is a horrible way to remove unwanted toxins.

as an example in a 100 gallon system:

dong 50% changes --->3 waterchanges are needed to go from 100 to 12.5-------->>>150 gallons of water down the drain

doing 25% changes---->7 waterchanges are needed to go from 100 to 13.34  ------>>> 175 gallons of water down the drain

this does not account for your system adding to the toxins.
