Sticking with the randomness of today's stream... I was experiencing some problems with connectivity only on a few smart switches in the fish room, until recently I opened up my 8 yr old router and cleaned dust off of the internal antennas. Bam! Like magic! Connectivity is spot on for everything now.

I will keep that in mind next time my internet is acting up!

Sorry for the lack of chats! I was doing tank maintenance while listening 😊

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogencarbonate) will absolutely raise the pH of a solution

Thanks!

@@melevsreef Thank you for teaching me about baking soda! I'm a big fan of Sulphur nitrate reactors if you ever want to explore for the sake of the hobby. They are difficult to set up technically but have big benefits!

[@Rellikman]

@@melevsreef Also, have you ever thought about ranking different water parameters as to its affects of hurting corals ranking worst little water parameter to least. comparing to Acros

[@Rellikman]

@@melevsreef I been using Lanthinum chloride for 15 years and never lost a tang, I just keep my ALK on the high side say 10-12. I suspect that when the ALK drops dangerously low that the tangs are exposed to something that kills them.

@@melevsreef Phosphate below .06ppm is great up to and over .12ppm is constraining to corals
