Hello all. So I have been thinking of starting Nopox but have concerns. Here they are with info on my setup. I am just over 1 year in the hobby with this tank.
I have a Waterbox all in one 65.4 gallon.
I have a Tunze 9004 skimmer and I also use 2 small bags of Chemipure blue. One under each filter cup section on opposite ends of the tank. Each one is good for up to 35 gallons.
my tank is becoming very stable but my nitrate and phosphate stays higher than I feel like it should be.
salinity— 1.025
Ph— 8.2
Temp— 78
Nitrate— 19 ppm
Phosphate— .15 ppm
Alk— 8.4 dkh
Calcium—440 Ppm
Magnesium 1500 ppm
I recently did an ICP test and everything looks really great except my iodine was low so I dosed ATI’s iodine as recommended for 3 days.
My tank is mixed reef but my sps just really struggles with exception of a couple of pieces.
My main concern with Nopox is that a skimmer is required but is my 9004 Tunze enough?
Also if I start Nopox, will I need to quit using Chemipure blue?
