Stopping UVS

• pH:
• Temp:
• KH:
• GH:
• NH4:
• NO2:
• NO3: 1.5
• PO4: 0.2
• Iron:
• Dosing: 15 ppm NO3, 1.6 ppm PO4, 5 mL Flourish night, 0.5 ppm iron chelate night (5 mL Flourish, 0.5 ppm iron chelate yesterday)
• NO3:PO4 Cumulative Dosing Ratio: 16.5:1.8 = 9.2

Notes:
Stopped running the UVS today before the water change. The UVS seemed to work to help stop any further spread of the staghorn algae, but I wanted to avoid having to run it 24/7. I also noticed that after running the UVS for a day, the plants seemed to have a burst of growth, though not with very large leaves. It was as if there was some sort of excess of something in the water that got cleared/precipitated out by the UVS. Yet another mystery.

50% water change:
25 mL Amquel+
2.5 tsp baking soda
0.5 epsom salts
2 tsp CaCl2

Cleaned out the AquaClear filter.

The hairgrass seems to be enjoying the extra nitrates, it's been growing in thicker and taller over the past few weeks.

I also wanted to try and dose the micros at night as well as day to see if it will make any difference.
