Thanks! I was thinking about this and my old reef tank days and solutions lost in liquid form stored vs our old kalkwasser slurry methods for more uptake. I’ll keep the sock method going-once I explained to my wife why 4 of my black athletic socks (short ankle highs) were dangling in the...

Target of 3 FC with 20 CYA (guess since test only went to 30). Hopefully tonight I’ll have some better numbers to work with overnight. Been looking for liquid CYA locally but no luck to speed that up at expense of cost vs time.

Thanks! That link is open and printed out slam. By the late feeling just meaning slick but no discernible growth. Heading to get supplies now.
