Dosing nitrates seems to work for phosphates, down to 3ppb, or .009ppm. nitrates are someplace around 10ppm, i'll have to do a better test later when i'm not occupied with other things. New additions are on their way today, I don't think the 10ppm nitrate is enough to negatively effect any of them.

I also have the auto water change doing 10000ml a day now to bring down the mag a bit from 1800 and renew the tank a bit before the harder to keep stuff comes this week.

I tossed in 5ppm more, it will be gone in a few days but I'll see if that does anything to it.

Yup, I went to Anthony's and realized how small my setup was.

It's at 10ppm, I'm not sure about raising it that much with some of the inverts I have coming. We will see

actually, if you saw the wiring situation behind my tank, you would probably twitch.

Mine can be used as a simple food switch for the pumps just by clicking that red button. All for under 10 bucks.

Mine is superior

I've got a spare 8 plug outlet laying around here somewhere, that should be twice as good, right? lol

I would go 1 and 2, lol. One would be better to put the heater on the controller, rather than it getting stuck one day with no backup to turn it off. It's the only option out of the three that could prevent a tank failure. The other two are nice to have but not as needed.

I've been waiting a while to get a green mandarin as they aren't normally something that is stocked at the shop i go to, so today decided to order a pair from blue zoo. In addition to that, i ordered two atlantic lettuce slugs, Elysia crispata, and after doing enough research on them it looks...

my old tank that didn't have an overflow, i ran gfo on it and that was it. Eventually did some carbon dosing due to bryopsis but i never had gha.

Shot of the two scolys inflated now along with a full tank shot with and without the filter.

If I'm not mistaken lanthanum chloride binds the phosphate and you need a skimmer to pull it out, unless I'm thinking of another chemical. I believe most people put it in either by the skimmer intake or in a filter sock so the sock catches it.

They are, couldn't resist the labor day sale he had.

Thanks man, it's getting there, i'll probably need some more coral to fill in some gaps and wait for the grow out. Favorite thing to do is a few hours after lights out is feed the lps now.

And the pics I've been waiting for, lol. 5 acans, 2 scolys and a chalice, scolys are still mad from the dip. The acan hilli is not new, just happens to be in the photo.

I've got 2 or three emeralds in my system, no problems with them, they keep the bubble algae population down, i think at least. Neat to watch. Nice Zoa's there, i've been debating on getting more now.

Anyone have a plain purple and green frogspawn that they would like to sell me or trade in south jersey? I'd prefer close by, i'm in winslow township.

Nem finally attached itself after two days and I can turn the power heads on again, tank was running off the return pump only. Moved the pumps a bit and turned the apex pumps down from 100% at peak down to 30% peak so I don't blow the Lps away, lol.
