I am struggling to get my corals and rock looking healthy. Tank has been running for about 8 months. It took me awhile to learn about how to keep proper nutrients and for the first 6.5 month I was running with 0 nitrate and 0 phosphate. My corals were starting to brown and had no polyp...

Back story. Ok so I have been reefing since 2016 and have had several tanks since then. I set up a folwer tank 155 with live rock from my lfs. I then set up another tank a reef tank 60 gallon using dry rock. No real issues so far. I then upgrade the fowler to the current 250 gallon and the reef...

How do you all feel about ICP testing (and now other types of lab aquarium testing, like microbiome testing and tank DNA tests)? While I could see the results as interesting, I don't really see the overall benefit/value in these types of expensive mail-away tests. Ive never bothered with one, I...
