Haven’t test water since 10/11, just under 3 weeks. Here were the results then:

  • kH ~ 140 (LaMotte) (7.8 or so…)
  • Ca ~ +450
  • Mg ~ 1300
  • NO3 ~ 10 / 15
  • PO4 ~ 0.14

    • So, I’m pleased to report

  • kH ~ 120 (LaMotte) (6.8 or so…)
  • Ca ~ +400
  • Mg ~ 1200 – 1250
  • NO3 ~ LESS THAN 2ppm
  • PO4 ~LESS THAN 0.03

    • I did do a 2 gallon water change before testing, hence the Mg, Ca / kH a bit off than my usual. But even after 3 gallon changes in the past, I’ve never seen NO3 or phosphate at these levels. Hesitant to attribute these changes directly to the bacs, but these are noticeable changes.
