For tanks that don’t have a lot of fish waste like mine the reef energy helps a lot. My tanks always low nutrients however if I stray away from dosing the reef energy now that the corals are growing and using it as soon as it goes In the levels will fall flat so once the corals grow like crazy you have to keep it up and don’t try to overdo it.

The 210 tank build
- Thread starter mnat
- Start date
We have sand but have been kind of slowly taking it out. The problem is that it became a nutrient trap in our system and was keeping our nitrates and phosphates high. This is due to just having one overflow so waste doesn't get moved out of the tank fast enough.
For our tank size, we are kind of understocked so I agree this helps a lot. We will be keeping an eye on nutrient levels, we are still dosing a bit below recommended and will probably keep it that way.

Reason I asked is I am bare bottom because of the red sea s series back to front flows, all my sand was pushed away from the front so removed it.
Our overflow does not really push our sand around, but our vortechs definitely do.
We couldn’t agree more. Got ourselves a Black Friday gift.

Congratulations!
We do, honestly not much in there. Need to replace the light so it has been running at 30%. Shrooms and chalices love it but not much else.
