Froggie, I have magic beans I can sell you. They keep NO3 and PO4 low AND they do your taxes. No maintenance involved.

:lol:
what can i say, i'm a tax newbie. i'm also trying to save on my electric bills.
i feed lots of phytofeast and hate it when things are consistent, especially my tank parameters. :lol2:
oh, and crox is not definitely hired, yet. he needs to survive your beating.
dammit, i'll just tell the truth. Crox's competition is some guy in chinatown my girlfriend knows that would file it real cheap. he also claims he has some magic beans but they might be the knock off stuff and not the real ones you're hustling. i'm an asian thats bad at math, would your beans fix that too? if so, PM me. ;)

i'm serious about the chinese guy competing with Crox for my hard earned cash tho.
and the math thing.

Hey now, just because someone is an MR member doesn't mean they're no good. I always trade goods and services with MR members and it's been great. I've met many many fantastic people from a huge scope or professions. If I need (insert profession here) why not hire an MR member? Provided they're good we definitely have some slackers on here as well as our share of highly qualified people.

JP,
You never PM'd me your number. I was around all weekend and even tried to reach you at the office on Friday (unrelated business matter.)

I'd just add more 1 part.

Here's what's happening:

Suppose your levels are at perfect balance. You add 50ml of part one and 50ml of part two. Problem is, your phosban snatches up 10ml of part one out of the water column. Now your alk is low!

To correct the above just add more of part one until you get your levels where they should be. Keep an eye on your Mg and try adding a little more alk during the day. If you're a once a day doser, maybe get in the habit of adding a little of part one when you get home from work.

increasing Ca will lower alkalinity....Which is why there are 2-part Ca & alk suppliments....

Just how low is it anyway?

ah thats garbage man. you gotta get a kit that will give you a number if you want to be able to dose properly and keep things stable.

"low" "normal" and high are pretty subjective
