Hi everyone! Back from Florida just a few hours ago. Came back to a messy looking sand. It looks like red and green cyano. The reactor is still off. I had placed it in storage before I left for FL. Number are around the same:

Kh 8.3
Mg 1350
Ca 440
PO4 0.25
NO3 25

Welcome home D! Don’t fret your tank is still young and this will happen. You know that. Your numbers look good ! If your interested I can tell you how to use the mini reactor as a gfo only tumbler if you feel you want to lower the pO4 a bit

Hi!

I never understood the relationship of NO3 and PO4 that are "balanced" with each other. When I started reefing in 1990, everyone wanted ultra low NO3 and PO4. I never knew of anyone having dino back then. So if one has NO3 of 25 what is that number their PO4 should be around?
