No new photos. I have rampant cyano again. So annoying!! I've cut back on the ultralith to dosing every 3rd day as suggested by another ultralith-er. For every majano I inject with aiptasia destroyer, two come back. The wafer algae seems to be in check, not sure why though. Probably because the caulerpa is stealing all the nutrients. Some corals have colored up some, some have not. Theres a frag swap this coming weekend so I'm thinking of thinning the ranks and getting rid of some of the brown, maybe some else is patient enough to wait it out.
I guess I shouldn't complain though, stuff is still growing and I'm not as diligent with the tank as I used to be even though I'm still doing weekly waterchanges. I checked the TDS of the RO unit the other day as I couldn't remember the last time I changed the cartridges, TDS was still 2 which was good. I changed the cartridges anyways. However, the TDS of the waterchange bucket was 34 and the ato tank was 40! WTF?? I did my regular waterchange anyways (why? I have no idea, it seemed like a waste of water?) and emptied the ATO (this I had no problem with, there were "fuzzies" floating in it). Started making new water with just the cold tap (someone mentioned that anything above 76 can open the pores in the RO membrane). I tested the water after about 2 hours or so and the TDS was 5. Great! I only ran it for a little while and then had to turn it off before going to bed. Today I turned it back on to make more water. Hours later I tested it and now its 62!! Frig me, this is ridiculous!
