Use calcium reactor, 10 pct waterThat’s almost identical to me. I’m running .1 PO4, 25 NO3 and 7.8ish Alk.
Do you run a calcium reactor or do you dose 2 part?
Do you use any supplements like trace elements, aminos, coral foods?
What kind of salt are you running and how often/much do you change out water?
Thanks for answering all my questions, you really have an amazing tank, I’m impressed!

I am running 4 X MP 60s and 2 X Jebao SOW 20sLooks like you are running two MP60s. Is that it for flow? What setting/intensity do you run them on?

not really. What have you heard of?Do you dose any bacteria on a regular basis? That seems to be a trend right now.
I was having an issue with dinos that I was able to beat. A widely recommended method was to add “biodiversity” to your tank by dosing bacteria and phytoplankton. This helps “outcompete” things you don’t want taking over your tank. Seems to be a preventative measure, even if you aren’t having issues. Not sure whether the bacteria does anything at all but the phytoplankton seems like it would be beneficial. It worked for the issue I was having. I’m going to continue Phyto everyday and bacteria once a week.not really. What have you heard of?

@akaimal...nice looking tank. I have the same size tank from same manufacturers about a 14 months old. I don't have much corals at the moment. I tried a few beginner SPS but lost all of them so I am holding off a bit. Looks like my lights will not be adequate for SPS growth from what I see with your set up. I have 2 Aquaticlife T5 hybrids and 4 kessil A360S only.
Are they all the blue plus or do you have any blue sky bars?Yes 90 pct on those two channels. Others stay the same. I am using OR3 blue bars. 8 OR 60 bars, 1 OR 120 bar and 1 OR 90 bar
All blue plus. Sky blue is new and was not available back then.A

I’m going to add 2 bars. Wondering if I should do two blue plus, two sky blue or one of each.All blue plus. Sky blue is new and was not available back then.
Blue plus for sure will give you the par needed. I hear the sky blue will give the extra pop. I would say go with sky blue in front and blue plus in back.I’m going to add 2 bars. Wondering if I should do two blue plus, two sky blue or one of each.
Looking to add par on the front and back of the tank.
