I have only 4 months in this hobby and I am already addicted
I test my water today with my Hanna salinity checker (1.025) .
PO4 : 0.00 also with a Hanna Checker.

I just added a HOB refugium box. The best decision I’ve ever made, in combination with the Algaebarn refugium starter pack. It took care of my hair algae in 4 days. Now I’m just hopping for my zoas to recover.
