It does not they're exhausted you would have to purchase from Bulk Reef Supply but I will give it to you for free as long as you pay for the shipping if i were a vendor I would add the resin and filters and such but I'm just a reefer trying to help another reefer it comes with everything needed you would just have to purchase a sediment filter carbon block and the d i resin these are fairly inexpensive to buy through Bulk Reef Supply you can buy in a kit this will save you some money for sure

I have this Aqua FX Barracuda one as well so you can take your pick Barracuda one has a pressure valve on it but it does have a slightly bent bracket either way like I said your choice you pick which one you would like it'll be free of charge other than shipping

Yeah I can send it directly to you and have you reimburse me for the shipping alone or I can talk to your parents and just make sure it's good with them first one way or another I'm more than happy to try to get it to you I can also try to make contact with @revtree who I believe is the owner of this forum and see if he has any ideas to help protect your privacy and get this to you I would speak with your parents first you yourself and just make sure that they're comfortable with this being sent to you to help you with your reefing experiences

I did not read OP had chaeto growing in the display. Where did you read that?

Didn’t you just say your hammer didn’t like you reducing nutrients too? I would like to see your corals that do well in 0 nitrate and 0 phosphate.


My corals that didn’t like it...especially monti’s they RTNed. Euphylia looked horrible but survived. Everything, and I mean everything looked like crap. Now that I took skimmer out and dose nitrate and phosphate, things are recovering and getting new growth.

Sorry, I was relaying my experience with my tank to address "zero" nutrients via what a test kit says....and my experience with bottoming out nutrients, getting zeros for nitrate (salifert) and zeros for phos (hanna LR) BUT still having algae in the DT and chaeto in the fuge and only having my hammer seem to dislike the change, all the softies didn't care and with my low to zero numbers via test kits currently I have montis, zoas, and favias growing when I couldn't at higher numbers.

Makes sense. I started a thread over in the chemistry forum with a poll. Would you consider voting and providing feedback, pics, recommendations.

I for one am confused with this, because you are absolutely right. A low test with macros and algae on the glass means you have nitrate. Yet when the level really does get to 0 it seems to cause problems in some tanks. Dead macros, Dino’s, Corals not doing well. Not sure it has to do with the nitrate itself, or something else.

It's the balancing act, IMO, nitrates and phosphates are nutrients....too much can be considered "pollution", too little could be starvation.
