im really happy with the results the tank is stable and thiriving.
this is good to hear,moved from NSW to made up salt water and lost 90 percent of my fish to velvet in three days just this past month, have moved back to NSW and things have stabilised again , lost about $4000 in fish, I have a very similar set up to you except I have a air pump running two ceramic air stones 24 /7,I then change out 50 % of my water weekly with Vectra M1 pump , This has stabilised very quickly the tank nitrates run between 3.3ppm and 6ppm in a week 0.06 ppm phosphates doesn't move at all .Won't move from NSW again.My fish and corals get fed all the time.

Only reason I moved from NSW was because it been flooding in Australia and could not get NSW reliably from anywhere.changed water from NSW to made water over a period of a month and a half and things went downhill almost immediately after that, was doing 50 percent water changed like I normally would just didn't get the result I was looking for. Coral unhappy fish unhappy absolute carnage.video from before the water move today only 4 fish left none of witch are in the video.

That’s awesome to hear. Being in Miami I’ve used NSW for the past 7-8 years. I’ve just never stored it.
