I roughly have to add a pinch once every week-2 weeks. I have a special microspoon I use to do it so I know it's the same every time. 1 microspoon measurement raises ph around .15 or so.
Thanks Randy. I appreciate your advice.
As far as I know, no one has tried this approach, and the only way to know if I'll be successful is to try it. I like to experiment, so I'll use some tanks set up just for this.
Don't know how it is with TB, as I've not had enough experience with them yet.
I know my malawa will turn predatory if not enough food- or in some cases enough protein.
Found someone who used a cylinder vase to raise the sexies to settling. Hell of a lot cheaper than a kreisel. http://www.reef2reef.com/forums/general-invert-forum/128518-successfully-raised-sexy-shrimp-fry-pic-included.html#post1466853
So here's the results of 300 TDS I've been having- lots of breeding, little baby survival.
I have a feeling the survival rate is due to the high gh I did. I made a decision to drop the gh in the tanks at the cost of TDS. Aiming for a gh between 6-9.
BTW, looks like you did a great length less than 3' for the next brace. On my 6' build years ago, I failed to put a middle brace on my wood shelving. I used the 2x4 sideways (not flat), and now have a crook in the center.
This is the type I use to tell temp: http://www.petsmart.com/supplies/thermometers/grreat-choice-floating-thermometer-zid36-5203381/cat-36-catid-300077
Around $3 or so.
