Mexican Rainbow wrasse. It will change colors and look like this.

After 3.5 months decided to test my water. Have to say not bad but not sure why I have diatoms, I guess poor flow.

Alk - 8.6
Calc - 425
Mag - 1430
PH - 8.2
Nitrate - 0
Phosphate - 0.1

I would suggest dosing some nitrate so you don't get dino

I am considering that as I'm surprised it's so low.

New lights Hiparageto 100w.
Using default setting set for LPS but seems to bright. Will play around with settings.

Hi Mike, late super thanks for great meeting! Where did you get your testing done? Would love to test mine.

I always laugh when people have zero nitrates and zero phosphates. I suggest that we always trade water because mine are always very high.

Set it to mix reef. 40white, 90deep blue. 90indigo blue, 75violet, 15warm white.

Still looking how to set above manually.

Took long enough but figured it out.

Parameter Check using Salifert test kits.
Alk - 6.1
Calc -490
PH - 7.8
Mag - 1470
Nitrate - 5
Phos - 1

Adding more coral probably caused the Alk dropped I did increase dosage and will monitor.
PH usually falls to this range. Through the year its between 7.8 and 8.1.
I assume my Nitrate and Phos went up because of the gobies throwing sand all over. Now that they are gone will have to monitor.
