I don’t get how you avoided the po4 Leach from the dry rocks ? I asked the question about bleaching earlier which you gratefully replied to. My dry rock leached po4 for ages although I didn’t bleach themThank you!

Do you use LC regularly? I don’t remember you mentioning that before in this threadLanthanum Chloride is the answer

@Roberto Denadai You mentioned earlier that you used Zeomix. Can you please explain what it achieved for you: when you applied it and when and more importantly why you discontinued its use. Thanks.
It definitely does @Roberto Denadai and I use it myself although I also find that if I pull it out my nitrates rise quite significantly and like you I like to keep my nitrates down and my PO4 at about 0.03. So how do you maintain such low Nitrates? Did you reinstate the Chaeto or any other action? Thanks bud.I used just in the first/two months I think, zeomix helps to keep Nh3 in the low range

Any issues with PO4 getting too low with it?For no3 I just use seachem matrix and siporax in my sump. No3 is always zero here. Never use chaeto again
Any reason you are using both Siporax and Matrix instead of just one?For no3 I just use seachem matrix and siporax in my sump. No3 is always zero here. Never use chaeto again
I’m just jumping on this thread. You sir are not just a reef keeper, but an artist. Well done and thank you for being gracious enough to answer questions.
Let's see so we can compare....Looks great! Any tips to keep the glass and water so crystal clear? I feel like my tank is cleaner than most but this is a whole different level!
The reason I was so interested in your thread is that we do things in a very similar way. I even saw we have almost the exact same fish in our reefs. The only difference is that my tank is LPS dominant but there are SPS. I also start with chaeto but when it dies I leave the Algae light reactor in place and let it develop its own algaes which it alway does eventually. It’s about that time I’ll slowly remove the Zeomix. However I find that if hardly any natural algae has taken hold in the light reactor my NO3 climbs but then the algae grows and the NO3 falls. I’m about five months into a new 100 gallon. You’ve inspired me to try more SPS in this build. I look forward to your next work of art Roberto. Greetings from Scotland .
I think I already did it in this threadCan you give us a in depth step by step guide from start till today on your exact procedure please
