What have you changed recently with your tank and seen positive results from it?

I have increased my water changes to 3x a month, doing 20% water changes at a time. Also feeding a little more since I do more water changes. I'm seeing a ton of growth, the most I've seen so far.

Adding a dosing pump to add my calcium,alkalinity and magnesium daily has kept my parameters stable and corals are responding well.

Cleaning my sump seemed to really help. I'm going to do it more often now.

I discontinued running a filter bag on my overflow and saw algae problems decrease. Even with regular cleaning it still seemed to promote algae.

doing a 5g water change everyday instead of 25g weekly has my corals responding positively.

Calcium reactor added. Biopellet reactor subtracted. Huge change for the better. Corals were starving in my bare bottom SPS tank. I exceeded the potential of saturated kalkwasser so the Ca reactor has kept everything much more stable

Swichting too leds, Ive seen great growth on all corals

Same here... I removed my bio-pellet reactor and way better..

TLF Acro power and Red Sea Coral Colors have significantly added rich colors to my corals.

Starting dosing alkalinity via an auto doser.

 

[greg0385]

-I went to automatic water changes (2 gallons a day)
-rearrange flow to a swirling motion
-added reef chilli and reef roids to my auto feeder
-dosing acro power

Im getting the best growth ever!

started adding Nualgi element enhancer

Started adding Nualgi element enhancer product after my weekly cleaning and water changes. Huge difference in the clarity of the water, my corals are growing again and my algae is almost non existent. That is the only thing i have changed......

What problem caused by bp reactor ? And what method do u use now to control ur no3

 

[Gadsby15]

Removing my bio pellet reactor and reaquascaping, lps look so much better and I now have no dead spots

 

[wolfenstein87]

I removed a rather large rock from my nano. This allowed me to scape better as well as opened a lot of real estate for coral placement.

I have a DIY LED fixture and my Red, UV, Green, and Reg Blues are on a non-dimmable channel. After months of not being able to figure out why my stuff just loses all its color I finally just concluded that since I cant control that channel I should just turn it off incase it is bleaching my corals.

2 weeks later and a bunch of my SPS are looking A LOT better. Don't go with non-dimmable LEDs people... my mistake.

Adding more fish and feeding more/more often made my SPS colors very rich.

Same here. I've gone as far as removing sand, chaeto and only left one large liverock. I'll take it out too if it still leaves too much detritus.

Starting dosing alkalinity via an auto doser.

Start dosing Calcium too! I think the problems I was having with some corals was not dosing both to keep balance.

What problem caused by bp reactor ? And what method do u use now to control ur no3

I had cyano problems, paling corals, SPS sensitivity to lights/ not enough nutrients for zooxanthellae to thrive, Stunted growth, etc.
I have a large skimmer and do a 10g water change once a week. I find No3 not to be a problem so far.

Kalk in my ATO has helped keep the PH up to normal levels.

Changed to Red Sea salt but have not done enough water changes to notice the difference yet...

Got another spare tank for the calcium reactor. Just need to install it now.
