• Temperature: 77.1
• PH: 78.0
• Salinity: 1.026
• Alkalinity: 10.4
• Magnesium: ?? (Still not getting correct readings from my Hanna checker, so disappointing.)

3/17/2023 - Changed filter sock and cleaned the glass inside my aquarium. Dont remember if i did a water change last week??? Thats not good.

3/3/2023 - Did a 3 gallon water change today and changed my filter sock. Also cleaned the glass inside my aquarium and going to replenish my RO water/Kalkwasser mix container with a new mix, almost empty. Will also be scraping out some bubble algae when i do my water change.

• Temperature: 78.2
• Salinity: 1.026

3/2/2023 - Will be cutting back on testing to help with cost and it’s not really necessary to test every week unless you're having issues with your aquarium. My nano aquarium is doing very well. All fish and coral are healthy, the only issue is bubble algae, but I will be taking care of that issue every time I do a water change. Will also be removing one rock from inside my nano tank to help with my coral growth, which is a good issue to have. My toadstools are growing at a very fast pace. So, I need to make some extra room inside my tank for them. Will show this in an up and coming video.

1/28/2023 - cleaned my aquarium grass and Also replenished my RO water/Kalkwasser mix container which was almost empty. Will be cutting back on testing my nano reef aquarium from once every week to every other week or when I see an issue with the aquarium. Cutting back on testing to help with cost and it’s not really necessary to test every week unless you have an issue with your aquarium. With that said, I will test my salinity and PH every week since testing is very easy and cost nothing to do so since I’m using Hanna’s test probes. This week’s test levels.

• Temperature: 77
• Salinity: 1.026
• PH: 8.0

1/21/2023 - Sorry everyone, been taking a little break from making any new YouTube videos. Will start up again in February. Just needed a little break since I was making almost three video’s per week which takes some time to produce, edit and then upload to YouTube. Just needed the break to spend time with family and friends. Hope everyone understands!
