    Hi Eric,

     

    In May, I was around .22 PO4 and 25 NO3.  I added a Tunze MAR 3151 algae reactor and got PO4 around .18 and did nothing for Nitrate.

     

    Added NoPox in early June, dosing 5/ml day on a set timer and my #s today are .08 PO4 amd between 5-12(NYOS Test Kit) on Nitrate.  So, by the #s, it is working.  My corals do not look so hot right now.  I lost quite a bit of SPS, including the Jolt I got from you.  I am not sure if the #s came down too quickly or not because in Mid-May I decided to deep clean my sand bed for the first time since I started this new tank 16 months ago.  That probably caused alot of my STN issues.

     

    So, just like most things here, go slow.  I am dosing 1/2 of what RedSea recommends.  Also, monitor the color/health of your corals while your #s are declining.

    Good information right here

    This is what makes me nervous 

    It's like some people have great success with zero issues then others it's a horror story. I just dont know what to do. Far to much money in sps to lose it all

    If you use it or have used it please tell me how you liked it. Do's and dont's. Any advice. 

    I need to get my nitrates down.

    Yes I change a ton of water, I've used monster sulphur reactors which helped alot but has a serious side effect so I ditched those after using them for years. Yes I have a very heavy bio load.

    So I'm thinking to give this a shot

    Is the event horizon mainly orange?  Solid orange mille are hard to find, though ones with green are sometimes just as cool and easier to get.  The event horizon looks bright in the pics!  I had a nice orange mille in my last tank. Didn’t sell too many frags but would love to get a piece back if someone has it. 

    It's like a dark pink into an orange with different color tips. It's way different then most you see today.

    Neptune trident Q & A / review

    in General Discussion

    I know theres probably plenty of people in the wamas community with the trident. I would like to hear some feedback on it. Good or bad. What you have learned along the way etc. I have one coming so trying to get ahead of the game, kinda. 

    I tried the alkatronic and well, that just didnt work out. Hopefully this works out better for me.

    Keeping large Angelfish in reef tank with softie

    in General Discussion

    I have a goldflake, emperor, regal, and queen in main display with a ton of torch, hammer, frogspawn. Sps, gorgonian, Duncan's,. Zoas are slowly disappearing lol

    I have a juvenile blueface in training in my 100 gallon frag tank full of sps zoas and lps. Key word in training so he's my last angel that will go in the display.

    How much par is to much par or is there such a thing?

    in General Discussion

    Just a discussion. We measured my par last night. I'm getting around 500 on the sandbed. 600 to 700 halfway up. And 800 at the top and this is with 2 bulbs out since I have a ballast out. I have a 8x80 ati led powermodule. We tested in numerous locations throughout the tank. There are also two 60 inch blue xho reefbrites on the fixture.
