Well i seem to have gotten my water under control along with the algae that was covering the sand and rocks. Things are definitely looking up sand is pearly white for the time being and my rocks are mostly algae free. I have been running skimmerless for about 3 weeks now and i just had my first nitrate reading the other day of around 5ppm red sea test. I think my issues were directly related to my water source. I started buying jugs of distilled water and doing weekly water changes of about 5 gallons and things have cleared right up and my few corals are starting to come back around. I will be replacing rodi filters in the near future so i dont have to lug all these gallon jugs around. After that i will look into replacing my skimmer pump, but i think weekly waterchanges are keeping things in check so far with my bioload being so light right now. I also noticed an aggressive amount of pods show up over the last few weeks along with a few bristleworms (atleast i think they are bristleworms). If all continues to trend up ward i will look to be adding more corals and live stock to the tank come March and see where it takes me.
Also not sure if there are any mods in here but i just noticed that this thread is in the general reef discussion and it is supposed to be my build thread any way it can be moved?? Thanks
