Hello R2R!
This is my first saltwater tank, started in July 2019
550LT (145 Ga) mixed reef 200cm x 60cm x 60cm
Equipment:
2 Hydra 26HD
2 Hydra 52HD
2 Nero V
2 Vortech MP40wq
Nyos Quantum 160
Ultrareef 3LT media filter
Jebao Doser 3.4
Pacific Sun Algae Reactor (Small)
Newa UV-C (7)
Currently, I'm using the Ocean Life Ready Balling System with some ZEOvit products for better water quality.
In the first 8/9 months, the tank had some serious algae problem probably due to my inexperience, now the tank is going well but my parameters are not very stable.
I still have to settle with this balling system
PH 8.2-8.4
Ca 400-475
Mg 1200 - 1400
Kh 6.5
No3 and Po4 near 0 (I don't know why; I have a lot of fish and I give them a lot of food)
I think the cause of the drops is the recent coralline algae explosion.
Here are my hydra settings:
The flow settings are:
2x 25% Reef crest for the MP40 (9000 LPH/2370 GPH)
2x 60% 1s pulse mode for the Nero (5500 LPH/1450 GPH)
For a total of 29.000 LPH / 7600 GPH (x52 tank volume)
This is my first saltwater tank and I'm learning something new every day! So please tell me if you see something wrong o my tank
Thank You!
