there's a huge stand of forams right there, plus coral this is the best rock on the site
not sure about coralline, I lost my ability to keep it after switching to LED's from powercompact
good thing is though: you are into reefing, you don't need to test ammonia or nitrite on this reef ever again here's why
only a full fish kill left to rot can drive up ammonia, no other cause can while circulation remains active in the tank.
no form of testing helps you know of a fish kill, they're either dead or swimming/we remove dead ones.
it can't sneak up on you
ammonia can't trick you at month nine and then stop being controlled.
ammonia never rises before a fish kill in a display reef, it rises only after + rot time allowed like when someone is on vacation and their fish die.
your test kits are subject to misread at any time due to ten issues possible, that still doesn't mean a cycle can break/they cannot break.
all you have to do to know your ammonia is be able to see your fish living. once they're not living, remove them, never test for ammonia here again or you'll drive yourself bats lol not joking.
I have a nine page thread/ multiple ones/ where people with 1-3 year old tanks just all of a sudden decide their cycle is broken and we duel for two weeks while the whole time their starfish are alive, the fish are fine, the corals fine, the mess that testing for ammonia and nitrite after a cycle ends cannot possibly be understated.
your cycle is done, never speak of it again lol or someone will trick you into buying something if you do
stock that bad boy and make use of that $$ spent. *fish disease/from skipping preps/ very powerful loss factor you'd better be ready for by this coming summer.
if you lose a fish, don't dare test ammonia or nitrite as the cause/ they aren't.
you would reinstate fallow and qt of all animals if you want to address fish loss.
