Well, some of my numbers are heading in the right direction. Phosphates were at 0.50, five days after Pura Phoslock they are at 0.25, still bad but heading in the right direction. Mag. is up to 1280. I will keep working on the nitrates.

I have some chaeto in my sump now, its not much (a hand full) but I have several people trying to get their hands on some more for me.
Several people have suggested the RDSB, that maybe something I will give a try. I have room under my stand for another tank next to my sump. I think I will check into doing this. Anyone have a link to get me started in the right direction on setting one up?
Thank You for the link
I asked my LFS man about setting up a DSB, he shot it down just about as fast as the words came outa my mouth. He said he has seen several people use this method and no one he know has had the results that would make this worth the time and money that it takes to set it up.
WOW! if he is talking about a DSB in the main display tank, I understand the sand cost some extra $ but to say it is not worth it is just nonsense. If he was talking about an RDSB (Remote Deep Sand Bed) then he also hasn't got a clue. They are very cheap and can be run in a 5 gal bucket. Here is a picture of one I set up in the past when I had a FOWLR.
