Bored? How about Mentoring a Newbie?

[Scott Christenson]

I gotta get me an apex system. I hear so many good things about them.

I highly recommend Apex it gives you a lot of control of your system. My mentor may disagree but it's working for me.

Hey man am back.
Where did we left off and what's your latest.

Welcome back. All is well. I've picked Wednesdays to be my water change day and parameters reporting, week 3 is coming up. RODI and new salt are ready to go. What do you about starting a conversation about my lights?

Btw this polyp coral in thos picture can be invasive so watch out. If you can isolate them on seprate rocks they can go all over the place and take over some precious real estate in your rockwork.[/QUOTE]Ooo, good to know. Let me work on that.

 

[Scott Christenson]

Ok, with family tonight and in the morning. I'll reply early tomorrow afternoon. Thank You

Should I try and get rid of that poly coral?

I purchased the Hannah Phosphorus ULR, did you want me to get a no3 tester as well?

[Scott Christenson]

Let's test po4 first. Follow the instructions exactly and make sure glass is clean so you get the right results.
You can wait in the no3 for now.

ok, it hasn't arrived yet but the salifert po4 test just came back at 0

When I say its function I mean in context of your tank not that the media will only work for a week.
This media is very effective in removing po4 ti the point it can creat problems to some reefers bringing down their po4 so fast. In your case you do not have sensitive coral and we had to treat the water without asking you to change all your water at once especially since you did not have God rodi source before..

I should have the new po4 tester tomorrow

Were you able to drop that ATO in the mail?

Not yet, will do today or tomorrow alone with the star wars stuff.

Thank you, I'm going to actually be out of town for the first time with no one to watch the tank so I'll really need the ATO.
