DT delayed until the week of the 20th.
Forgive the undersea rage, just having a moment of weakness today.
On the plus side, the seagrass is "taking" very well, much faster than it did in my last tank. I haven't had my system ORP drop low enough to trigger the ozone generator for almost a week, those vascular plants are certainly photosynthesizing away!
Here is a chart showing my system ORP over the course of planting my seagrass bed. (I had to cut and paste the Apex charts in photoshop to get them to "fit", could only make a chart of one week at a time)
See the "sawtooth" pattern? That shows times when my system was overwhelmed with organic matter, the ORP drops like a rock, then the ozone kicks in (at 180, later adjusted to 190) raising the system ORP back to 200-210.
The organic wastes build up again, dropping the system ORP .... the ozone kicks in, raising the system ORP again ........ back and forth until the organic wastes in the water finally stabilize and the ORP stabilizes as well.
What I hadn't counted on was the seagrass to begin photosynthesizing so effectively this early, raising the ORP far out of range of my controller.
