You are probably right, just wondering where to start at. I will adjust, as time goes by.. i am already noticing a differenceado124;3913366; said:Sorry if this isn't right (i don't have a drip system) but wouldn't your gpd depend on your load? wouldn't you tune it to get the optimum water parameters for your own set up? an example would be to reduce nitrates.

i have noticed that after my waterchanges, i usually do weekly of 80% or so, that day and the next my water is extremly clear and clean looking as the week progresses my tank starts looking dirty (slightly foggy) not as crystal clear as the day or 2 of the waterchange.. I noticed that yesterday my tank was still crystal clear and perfect, tested my water and nitrates were about 20ppm this was 2 days after a small waterchange Friday (when i installed the drip). i will check throughout the week to see if they increase or decrease.spotfin;3913701; said:What have you noticed so far?
