Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I remember this morning someone ask who I bought the corals from and it’s a guy on instagram/facebook.

Great coral, cheap prices, he gives you free corals in each shipment and really nice dude.

I am still battling the hair algae. I am try do a de- bulking of it as often as I can but it’s a lot of work. It just keeps growing. Not sure why but it is. Nutrients are low and idk if light is a problem. I wish I could just hire someone to get rid of it all,

Wow that is low but I'm guessing it's higher than that.
Are you still using LFS water?
This is an important question and what are your feeding habits?
Have you ever tested the LFS water?

Yeah I agree that it’s low.
So does that mean that isn’t the cause?
I am using LFS water.
I feed 1 time per day sometimes even skip a day.
I have never tested the LFS water. They make the RO and saltwater there.
