Todays test results
PH 8
ALK 7.4 Hannah
CAL 420 Redsea pro
MAG 1420 Salifert
Nitrate 50....100 Salfert. Hannah 75+
Phos 0.12 Hannah
Salinity 1025
Temp 25C
1000ltr tank with sump approximately 850ltr net
24 fish
Mixed softies and Lps
2 Skimmers running, 20ltr fudge, lights on 12hrs and grows well, Roller filter
Tank 13mth old
15% water change every 2 wks ( No room to do a larger change )
I,ve always had high nitrates, with an imbalance of phosphates
I,ve recently tried Nopox over a 12 wk period ramping up to 22ml/day, had to dose Phosphorous to keep levels up with no noticeable difference in Nitrate, but lots of nasty side effects. Cyano, white stringy bacteria stuff that blocks everything, so I stopped
Reason I'd like them lower is that only the hardiest of coral survive, I would like to try some nice sps
Or should I just let it take its course and wait for the tank to find its balance
Your recommendations please.
