Trident finally settled down after blowing out the inlet lines. It gave me an Alk reading of 13+ vs Hanna.

Got some frags from a friend of mine — wish I can grow them out!

Been playing with the Avast K2 to boost pH — hope SPS frags will take off.

30gal reservoir -> Tunze ATO -> Avast K2 -> sump. I've just dumped 4 cups into the K2 this morning since I was depleting kalk every week.
