Small back story, I have a Red Sea reefer 250 lit by a reef breeder photon 32 v2+.
Deltec 600ix skimmer
Gfo/gac as needed
Refugium 12hr on reverse.
Dosing :
Brs 2-part
Tropic Marin part c
Acropower.
The tank is about 14 months old and it has never looked better. My sps pops with color and is growing/encrusting consistently. Polyp extension is fantastic. My coralline algae growth is awesome. I have barely if any bad algae and my current parameters are:
Sg - 1.026 - Hanna pen (calibrated)
Temp 77.5 - 78
Alk - 7.9 - salifert
Cal - 480 - salifert
Mag - 1460 - Nyos
N03 - 6ppm - Nyos
P04 - .12 - Nyos (tested 2 times)
Isn’t p04 that high supposed to be “omg lower it asap!!!!” ? Lol I don’t chase numbers and I make adjustments slow, my alk has been locked in at 7.8 - 8.2 for months. I don’t plan on changing anything just makes me scratch my head at the numbers.
