Hey guys! Need some advice, So I have a 32g Biocube, right now I'm running the aquaticlife miniskimmer, INTANK media basket with just some filter floss, and I was running chemipure elite, but I since took it out and am going to switch to just carbon. For lighting, I have 2 AI blades 12inch coral grow over the tank.
My goal is coral growth, and when I check my parameters everything is at zero and my dkh, like hardly ever drops, i know my corals are all still small frags but I'm wanting them to start to fill in. I've seen and heard having a small amount of phosphates and Nitrates can help so I'm wanting to bump up the phosphates and nitrates just a little to see if that stimulates the growth, but I don't want to overdo it. any guidance? i have 5 fish in there now, should i increase feedings?
So here's the question. Should I run a UV sterilizer (GKM 9v) OR setup a refugium next to the media basket OR can you do both? Which will help better for the overall health of the tank? Also, will adding phyto several times a week to the aquarium help?
