I looked at wyswyg. Are some cool pieces. But I’m thinking of a new strategy instead of throwing everything in and seeing what sticks. Particularly since yesterday conversations showed me how clueless I was as I was exclusively dosing alk and unaware it being tied to calcium, relatively. I still have to figure out the alk auto dosing and figure out calcium - which should be almost nothing…. But I did notice coralline specs on rocks. Coralline consumes calcium carbonate just like LPs right?

Guess water changes won’t take me far for long.
Coralline consumes calcium, ALK, and magnesium. It's a hard skeleton growth, like concrete on glass if it gets too thick.

Noted. Pertaining to the calcium and alk because my load is light should I just once a week test keep an eye on them and manual dose as needed until i figure all this out? Sounds like a semi safe path.

I'd test a few times a week at least. You don't want Alk to get too high.

I thought Billy or Vintage had given you a plan? What has changed?

Calcium, once a week maybe. Let us know where it is when you test tomorrow
