Patience
What bulbs are you using?

What I do is turn off all the lights in the room where the tank is, and I put the orange and yellow Orphek lens on the phone.
 
Silently the 10K member!
Nice!
Just means I give out way to many unsolicited opinions! If those opinions were given verbally I would be a big mouth.
 
With only good advices with pretty good experience. And tacos of course.
Lots of tacos, decent enough advice most of the time, and some mediocre experience! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Nice!
Wow - Congratulations Kev! That’s true dedication to keeping a lot of reefers uplifted, laughing, and getting the actual information they need to be successful!

Where is the plaque like they give YouTubers?
 
coffee time.here....playing with tank and dose nopox..bottle almost empty then it is dyi....formula vodka and vinegar
why do you dose nopox?
 
why do you dose nopox?
to reduce PO4 and Nitrate...and to convert the inorganic molecules of PO4 and Nitrate to organic molecules so corals can use it. Also so that the skimmer can pull them out of water column. Once Nopox is done doing vodka/vinegar mix...also long chain carbon monocellular source like vodka/vinegar is for growing beneficial bacteria. Algae,cyno,dino etc all like short chain carbon so they can not break down the long chain carbon,
 
What I do is turn off all the lights in the room where the tank is, and I put the orange and yellow Orphek lens on the phone.
Thank you for explaining- very helpful
