So here’s some insight on my 90 gallon.
I started this tank about 4 months ago upgrading from my 47 gallon and it finished it cycle in April and that’s when I started moving my fish over. In the first week I moved my pink spotted watchman goby, and and my Fiji blue devil. I definitely regret the damsel but that was the one fish my wife wanted to keep.
After 2 weeks went by I transferred over a six line wrass, a clown, cleaner shrimp and my coral. Although the six line jumped after the damsel bullying it.
For my equipment I have an overflow box that drops into a two chamber sump with a Hydor prein skimmer. I also have two power heads in the display at either head.
As of right now all the fish are happy and the coral is great with some nice growth. But the problems going on right now are my nitrates and phosephates.
My nitrates are sitting at 25 ppm
My phosphates are at . 25 if I have that correct.
But so far there hasn’t been any problems with algae. I have a little bit of cyano that I’m trying to eradicate before it gets bad.
I did a 1/3 waterchange and it didn’t seem like any of the levels changed. I’m kinda stumped on this. I had the same problems with my last tank aswell and was hoping that a sump and protein skimmer would help with this.
