crimsonvice Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 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 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I don’t because I have to add nitrates to my system, phosphates are very low, and the 3 part I dose with has everything else needed in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff70 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 @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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff70 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 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.
