Since my nitrate is also zero, I plan on buying more fish to increase the bio load. Just waiting for my wife to allow me to buy lol.

Yes, maybe i'll see how the coral grow with the high phos. If I see any negative effects, i'll try lowering phos. So far corals are doing fine. Torch polyps more extended when increasing my Gyres to 100%. Montipora growing back on the rock. Tubbs Stellata doing fine. Some tips got broken...

ALK steady at 7.5-8. Tested Phos and Nitrate for the first time (7/12/25): Phosphate = 0.334 ppm or 109 ppb Phosphorus (Hanna Phosphorus checker). Repeated test and it was about the same. Replaced the battery and brought new reagent to ensure it was accurate. Nitrate = 0 Kind of surprised...

I should have checked this out! I work at the hospital M-F.

I used this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DL93SLU?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Made a hole in the wall for the AWC and to refill the ATO container. On the other side is an outdoor sink.

Thanks. It is high quality. The hinges are strong unlike other brands. However, I got a lot of cables and power bricks stuffed inside, so it was a little hard closing the door. For some reason, it didn't come with mounting screws, but I used my own screws and drywall anchors anyways. I requested...

I setup my UV sterilizer in the back for easy maintenance when replacing the bulb.

I forgot to mention that I had issues with the plumbing. The water level in the display was not stable and would cause the ATO to dump fresh water, reducing the salinity. I dealt with this problem for 2 months after finding out the salinity dropped to 1.022 - 1.023. The salinity changed so much...

The tank is very new. I set it up in April. I went bare bottom this time since I don't want to clean the sand. Equipment List Oceanguard 790 Volume Display Tank - 155 US Gallons System - 209 US Gallons 2x ATI Straton Led (Original) 2x Sicce SDC 6 (main return + UV return) Spectrapure ATO...

Tank no longer in service.. Got married and move out to another home for about a year, leaving my tank neglected while my house was being remodeled. Ultimately, the contractors moved the tank to the backyard and cracked the overflow side of the glass. But now that the house is finished...

I've only owned a Reefer 170, so I only have that to compare it to. It has much thicker glass and the build quality is better. I wish it had armored seams since I see some algae creeping into it the silicone. I wish the control panel were more deeply recessed into the stand since some...

I didn't know milka shape was a thing. I had it perched up on a rock next to the neon green/yellow ORA Frogskin, but both colonies became too big to grow on the same rock. It received about 200-250 μmol/s of PAR with moderate flow at the end of the peninsula. However, I feel like my tank needs...
