Hey y’all, I’m sailing a mixed reef. At 8 months up everything looking pretty darn good.
However…my nutrients are kinda high, which is fine. I’d like to experiment though to see why.
I have a copperband that is a voracious eater and super healthy from day one.
I feed the tank pretty heavy a variety of foods.
I run a skimmer, an algae reactor, a bit of rowa, and carbon dose, plus 10-20 percent water change weekly, home made RODI zero TDS, from the tap I get like 48…
I would like to track down where the nutrients are coming from, I’m guessing it’s the food. I’m concerned about scaling back and starving the cooperband; so rare to get one as vigorous, I really lucked out.
How long do you guys think would be pushing it to scale back feeding the tank to like a small bit once a day to test the nutrient change?
