The system is now only on the skimmer without any other filtration

Your tank is amazing @rusgum
I have the same lighting setup so I'm wondering how long you run your orpheks. I have mine set to come on at 0900 and off at 2100. How long are you on total light period and how long for the peak intensity? I've also been running strong clouds throughout. My tank just can't grow corals like that to save itself.

Hello, thanks for the kind words. I have tried both strong and weak clouds and without them. Honestly, I didn't notice the difference. Here is a link on this forum with my timetable. Message 136.137. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/what’s-your-orphek-atlantik-v4.428124/page-7

I looked at your topic. Are you fine. A little patience, stability and corals will thank you. :)

A little advice. Don't chase numbers with this lamp. My Pink Floyd acre grows well and has a good color, and only 250 PAR reaches it, and he is on a par with the Akan. light is soft enough, the Akanas do well on acre level. The spectrum is more important in it. I myself was surprised at one time how LPS do well with SPS at the same level. :)

I have been using the Tropic Marine line since 2008. I keep calcium on purpose higher. Aluminum and tin are slightly overpriced, but this is not critical. I'm not the first to show a balanced complex of TM supplements. Using PRO-REEF Sea, K + ELEMENTS and A- ELEMENTS, NP-BACTO-BALANCE, Original Balling Components. Over the years, there is no imbalance in the elements. Almost all of the elements have dropped to the lower bounds. Probably double the dosage.

Water test after reverse osmosis system. To whom the numbers do not mean anything, then the water after installation is excellent

My micro elements Tropic Marin® K + ELEMENTS and A- ELEMENTS, NP-BACTO-BALANCE are on the dispenser. They give sediment, especially K +. A stirrer for 5 posts helps me. She has served me for many years.

Alas, any technique breaks down, even the best. Four years. Replacing consumables for four heads. It's good that there is an online camera, otherwise the collapse of the system is inevitable after a couple of days.
GHL balling dispenser. The cover of the dispensing head is broken.
Council, stock up on consumables.

On the micro, I have H2Ocean P4 Pro - the smallest multifunctional metering pump. Great pump, but GHL is the quietest. H2Ocean P4 Pro needs to be calibrated more often.
