bi monthly wc.. The last salinity check 2 wks ago is 1.025 ytd the reading iss 1.017. What contribute to the drop in salinity and yes. My rocks start to turn dark green.. well from white to dark green. no3 = 3 po4 = zero. some sps is suffering. kh around 7-8.

any idea what is happening. will zeovit reduce salinity or the GAC reduce it.

really too bz to take care of my tank and well... just surprised to see the drop in salinity using the electronic reader. (refractormeter loan to friend for the moment) n the difference between the 2 meter should not be that much of a diff.

pls advise. tia

salinity probe cannot be trusted at times.

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

very unlikely to have such a drop unless you did a major water change/top up. and you water volume is not too small. i think you better check your refractormeter. its better.

      RECOVER LOST OR STOLEN BITCOIN, ETH, USDT WITH THE SUPPORT OF CYBER CONSTABLE INTELLIGENCE

      The internet can feel like the wild west, full of danger and hidden traps, and I learned that lesson the hard way when I lost access to my Bitcoin wallet thanks to some sneaky malware. Picture this: I was just minding my own business, innocently clicking on what I thought was a harmless ad, maybe something about a new “must-have” kitchen gadget, when suddenly I found myself staring in horror at my computer screen, realizing I had just compromised my wallet containing a whopping $480,000. Talk about a facepalm moment! It felt like I’d just walked into a bar in a cowboy movie, only to find out the saloon was full of outlaws. In the midst of my panic, I turned to Cyber Constable Intelligence, hoping they could pull off a miracle. I can’t emphasize enough how much they felt like my personal posse in that moment. Their team was not just professional; they were genuinely empathetic, treating my case with the urgency it absolutely deserved. It felt like I was surrounded by a group of tech-savvy superheroes, ready to tackle the villain that was my lost fortune. After a few days of nail-biting suspense, I received the call that changed everything. They had not only recovered my funds but had done it faster than I could say “malware disaster.” It was like winning the lottery, only this time, I wasn’t just rich; I was also educated! They took the time to provide me with invaluable advice on safeguarding my wallet in the future, transforming my panic into peace of mind. I walked away from this experience not only with my $480,000 intact but also with a newfound respect for the importance of digital security. I mean, who knew that clicking on an ad could lead to such chaos? It’s like finding out that your favorite cowboy is actually a bandit in disguise. Thanks to Cyber Constable Intelligence, I can finally take a breath without feeling like my funds are riding off into the sunset. So, here’s to you, Cyber Constable Intelligence! You’ve not only saved my wallet but have also given me the tools to navigate this wild digital frontier with a sense of humor and a lot more caution. I can’t thank you enough for turning my panic into peace of mind. Next time I see a “too good to be true” ad, you can bet I’ll be remembering this lesson and staying far away Reach Their info with the info below What Sapp Info: 1. (2. 5. 2. ) 3. 7. 8. (7. 6. 1. 1.)
