Improving, Mg at 1200, PO4 at 0.1, NO3 at ZERO

Water quality is finally improving.... tested the water last Wednesday and the results are encouraging:

Salt= 1.027
pH  = 8.4
Alk = 9dKH (the highest since tank start)
NH3/4 = 0
NO2 = 0.05 (could be less, hard to read the scale)
NO3 = 0
PO4 = 0.1 (could be 0.15, but down from 0.5 of recent weeks)
Ca  = 450
Mg  = 1200 (major victory, finally close to 1280)


The Acan continues to open and the zoas continue to look good, so, seems like I'm getting close to ideal levels.

Vodka dosing continues at 2.5ml per day.  Did a partial water change of 30L on 17/Apr and another one of 20L on 23/Apr. 20L
