Hands down this is the best thing you have ever done for your aquarium! AH HA!!!

Sulphur Denitrator. Now I can select how much nitrate I want in the water whilst feeding my fish as much as I (they) please. Small impact on alk is the only caveat but easily adjusted. Pretty amazing piece of kit it blows my mind they are not extremely common.

Went from 20-50ppm to <2ppm (Red Sea test kit) in a week now my nitrate is stable at around 1ppm but I can still turn it up or down if I like.

Increase lighting-t5 got away from pics and increased water flow

Fluconazole!

Which one do you use? I've been struggling with no3 in my broodstock tank for ages. I'm currently trying k1 media but so far it has not worked.

Aside from joining R2R, I’d probably say Ozone.....

Spending time on R2R and BRS Tv before implementing the next good thing

For me it was a water change station next to the sump in the basement directly beneath the display. There is a drain there and I can do a 7 gallon WC in 5 minutes.

Saltwater mixing barrel with transfer pump replacing buckets. I mix in a 50 gallon barrel, one set of water parameters, at temp, fully dissolved. Also use barrel for ATO.

Or is it the RO/DI system.....

I do the same. Game changer for sure

I’m using a modified Korralin calcium reactor (but they also make a sulphur reactor) with the Caribsea sulphur/arm mix. Couldn’t brag enough about it.

Keep detectable levels of N04 & P04 even if that means dosing. Was starving a mediocre tank for yrs to the point of a Dino outbreak. Once I raised those levels, Dino’s disappeared and corals are out of control with polyp extension, color & growth!

RO/DI system and water station simplify regular water changes.

Where did you get the sulphur? I can’t find anyone that sells it

Caribsea makes it for reef tanks so I would assume that anyone that stocks that brand can hopefully get it in

For me it's not just one but multiple items. Kessil 160's and 360's, UV light filter, skimmer, Nopox, a ton of live rock and my cooling fans.

Simplifying my tank has made me enjoy it much more. Specifically, come up with a theme for your tank and stick with it. Only buy pieces that fit into your vision- this means you'll buy and have a lesser quantity of corals, but what you do have, you'll enjoy and you'll slowly build up a collection you can appreciate.

Getting rid of my beloved LPS and prized neon leathers to specialize in a mushroom and anemone tank has made me enjoy my reef a lot more. Lower maintenance, less worry over coral warfare and a cohesive look.

Metal Halides and overkill lighting for the refugium! Not even considering switching to LED, and I have quite a bit of stock in Cree, lol

I can agree with overkill lighting in the refugium. I have a 600W horticulture light and it has allowed my fuge to out compete the DT for excess nutrients. Chaeto and Ulva grow like crazy, NO3 and PO4 almost zero, even with heavy feeding (5 tangs).

Hands Down has to be getting my Magnesium levels where they should be.
