Randy’s Flock o' Reef Tanks

I've got the Bubble King 180 on my similar sized system and it just constantly pulls crazy skimmate. You're gonna love it. Only downside is how many turns it takes to get off the cup.
 
150 Gallon Tank

Water parameters as of tonight
Alk: 7.2
Ca: 415
Mg: 1275
Nitrate: 3.1
Phosphate: 0.7

This is more inline where I normally run.

The extra feeding and dosing of Sodium Nitrate has brought my nitrate level up to my normal range. I'm guessing the extra dosing of NaNO3 is probably what caused my bacterial bloom in the first place.

Magnesium dropped a 100ppm most likely from binding with the new aragonite sand. So I will need to be dose a bit to get back up to around 1350ppm.

On a good note, looks like the cloudiness from the bacterial bloom is clearing up a bit as I can at least see the other end of the tank now.

I love it when things do what they're supposed to do.

Chaeto photosynthesizing and gettin' rid of that CO2 and making some O2. So many bubbles! :)

What UV panel is that? Mind sharing a link…Im trying out a 12x12 similar looking panel off amazon and getting okay results..I do like the panels since you can can super close to help eliminate light bleed.. Normally just been using a 360we with great results but the light spread was causing film algae all over the sump unless I black out the walls..
Thanks

I use this in all my systems for the fuge. Works great and is dimmable so you can adjust to your needs.
