    Inside the box yeah, its closed l2 so it gets steamy alright more so with the skimmer pump. Set it up 10 days ago with my old skimmer pump from my nac6 but it packed up so had to start again 2 days ago with a pump i borrowed until a figure a replacement out. No filtration for a good few days nitrates up to 25. But within 2 days its starting to show tiny bits of green so should be ok soon.

    Ph is steady at 8.15 never seems to change for me. Alk and calcium dropped over the last 14 days from alk 8 down to 6.7, cal 440 down to 400. So i think with the bubbles on the screen it seems to be in sync

    Now your just showing off. I'd be tempted to leave it while it's that light green. There shouldn't be any problem with light getting to the lower layers at present.

    yeah I would let it grow a bit more, you can still see the screen so the lower layers are getting plenty of light.

    PS you are a show off, for the 2nd time. What is in your water in Ireland anyways man?

    Quality do u drink it. Have you ever tried Murphy's?
     
  17. Garf

    Garf Member Trusted Member

    No, but I think I will soon. I could do with a bit of Irish luck. Do you just tip it straight into your tank, or drink it first then then hose it in !! :)

    Right in the middle, about 20 miles from Birmingham. Couldn't live any further from the sea if I tried.
