Evening folks, Here’s the stuff everyone loves Numbers!
Ok they suck but I’m feeling good po4 from .48 to .23 nitrates cut in half about 30 now. Mg ca DKH dropping even tho just did WC 2 days ago. Time to look at DKH consumption and get on a schedule to keep it stable.
Thanks for stopping in and sharing the adventure.

Good news bad news time friends.
Good news I’m including a fts
Bad news I spent on a luxury item a reefbrite 48 xho blue to add on to the ATI sunpower
Good news I supported the us economy with a part of my stimulus check so I’m patriotic!
Pretty stoked for tank. Nitrates and po4 cut in half from last week no other equipment I need once these come in. I’ll have the tools just need to apply skills and diligence to make this tank rock.

I would think of it as a safety issue vs a luxury item. This will save you money in the long run because your corals will be less likely to die and you won't spend twice as much to keep them alive if they start to whither away. You are taking care of your tank AND your household. This is smart reefing.

I like the way you think! Maybe a good thing we are in different states may get in trouble teaming up dragging our spouses from bar to lfs to bar :p
