I'm thinking this is a typo, but you put PH as 9 . Is that correct? If so, I don't believe thats good at all.... but I don't play much with the PH stuff (So PH experts, please step in here if 9 is true and it truely is a problem.....)..... Still trying to master the alk/calc/mag thing!

That's correct... pH should range from 7.5 in the morning before lights on to 8.5 at the high end at night when the lights go off. It's much better, however, to have a refugium on a light schedule opposite of your display tank to maintain a constant pH of 8.2 to 8.3 in the whole system. Any higher or lower than those ranges and there are major problems.

Always good to see a positive change when you return from a long outing! Last time I came back from SF, I had a bowerbanki that had almost been totally demolished, now I know it was chomper (flame angel) who went after it. So when I return this time, I hope I haven't lost anything, or any problems. Have you ever posted a pix of your fathers tank on here? I remember you talking about it... but don't remember seeing it.....
