Okay. Sounds like a plan, but should I then return the conditions to what
they are now, or should I keep the spgr at 1.027, and alk at 15? Also, I
dont have a UV, and unfortunalty, can not afford one right now. Skimmer is a
red sea berlin, and I am afraid that even at peak efficiency, is not the
best. I do have it dialed in as well as ever, and it is pulling gunk
regularly, so that is good. I do 25% water changes weekly, and will keep
that up. I will run carbon starting tonight, and will cross my fingers.
Thanks,
Shane
