Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I have always used API until I became a member on here 3 years ago.
I bought hanna for nitrate, phosphate and alk and will never use anything else for those now.
But they're spendy.
Salifert is good not to expensive.
agree
 
Lucky you. :p
Have fun.
Got plans?
I will probably sleep in,
Do some homework.
Clean the tank by removing hair algae manually. (Starting to get out of control)
Watch the yellow tank eat.
And play some lacrosse.
Sounds like a chill day to me,

Are there any snails that eat it?
turbo's will eat,but you are getting false reading on phos test, it's higher , bound in hair, manually remove as much as possible

I think I have 2 turbos.
They were the first snails I added to the tank.
I think one of them died today. Not sure what happened.
