You and me both, I HATE it!Man I hate to see losses. Keep your head up unfortunately we can’t save them all
This tank has always been a PITA when it comes to nitrates
Hey man, been reading through your build the last couple months, has given me some inspiration for my reefer 250 build. Bought one on November 1st a couple months ago, have been getting it set up and its almost ready to start going! You should check out my thread and give me any feedback you may have since you have been running one of these tanks a while.
Have you been dosing nitrates because they're so low? This is one thing i am worried about for my tank after a few months of running due to the clarisea roller filter being so effective from what i have read, and a skimmer. Im worried their may not be enough nutrients to go around lol. Going to have to feed more is my plan if it becomes an issue.
I don't come here enough to troll ;Sorry
I'll check your thread out shortly!!
Personally I feel like dosing nitrates is a better route VS feeding, again because my tank does register phosphates. If I fed more to raise nitrates I am also raising phosphates.

This tank has always struggled with nitrates, not so much on the phosphate side. I feel like foods tend to have more phosphates VS nitrates. Years ago I bought some greenleaf kno3 and use http://www.theplantedtank.co.uk/calculator.htm when it comes to mixing the kno3 powder with my RODI water. Personally I feel like dosing nitrates is a better route VS feeding, again because my tank does register phosphates. If I fed more to raise nitrates I am also raising phosphates.
If you enter you must pay a troll
Thanks man! And yea, that definitely makes sense. I didn't think about the added phosphates with foods if low nutrients becomes an issue for me. Time will tell i suppose, leak testing my tank this week with fresh rodi water, getting the rocks and salty-ness in there this weekend. So i have quite a ways to go before i have to worry about dosing nitrates and stuff still, if my tank ever even comes to that lol!
If you guys get bored of Pelphrey, come check out my 230g display refugium! ;Playful
Exciting weekend coming up for you!!!! I test filled mine with RODI then added the salt to the display. I actually added sand to my tank a couple months down the road. That was planned out, I love the look of the sand!
Come on man, this one has another 10 years in it!
