PO4 flashing at 0.90 and nitrates at 55...
Absolutely beautiful good to see you here.Tested yesterday. Po .258 ni 40.
Let the tank tell you what it wants. That's the way to do it.Last I tested everything no3 po4 where very high. I don't stress and let it do it's thing.
This is my previous anemone reef, 80 gallon display with 40 gallon refugium and 25 gallon sump. At one time, Nitrates were as high as 67 and phosphates a .35. Average nitrates in the 40's, phosphate .25. Attributed to weekly feeding of the anemones. The tank looked great! All anemones and other corals looked great!
I transferred everything to a 360 gallon tank a couple of months ago. Nitrates at 20, phosphates at .10 and the anemones don't look as good as they did with higher levels.
Clean mine a couple times a week. That's all.Are there some secrets in here for the super clear glass, especially with some of the higher than most people would recommend numbers? Or are y'all just scrubbing all the time?
Looking good. Also unless your water has cilicates in it that you are using to top off or mix saltwater with, diatoms generally take care of themselves in my experience as they use up the available cilicates in newer sand (assuming that's where they may be coming from) give them time. You will get ahead of them.
Last time I checked I had Nirates: 50 phosphate: 0.61! The phosphates were higher but Im using phosguard to get rid of silicates because of the diatom outbreak on the sand.
Thank you!Looking good
Currently topping off and mixing water with filter drinking water through my tap cause the LFS that i bought RODI from is currently closed for repairs : ( so with every top off and water change i add more silicates unfortunately but Im purchasing a home RODI system soon to take care of it, the phosguard is more of a bandaid at this moment just cause I love keeping my sand clear and clean :3unless your water has cilicates in it that you are using to top off or mix saltwater with
Makes sense. Your rodi system will Def help. Good luck in your battle. Keep us updated.Thank you!

My phosphate got up to .40 and nitrate was 19.4 and I freaked out! But after a 10% water change phosphate down the. 23 and nitrate 15.2 not sure what to think. Typically. 09 and 8.6 respectively. I will add that during the low numbers I had the uglies basically the brown stuff on the sand and snotty brown algae on the the aqua scape. I gently scrubbed the rocks with a toothbrush and siphoned the sand. and cleaned the sump a bit. I think low numbers were that way because the uglies were consuming the phosphate and nitrate as food?? Started dosing microbactor7 and it's clean also cut food in half. No picture because I'm old and don't know how but it's as beautiful as I've ever seen. Maybe 7 small SPS frags.Wanna see mine???

Nice hammer garden!A section of my overstocked and overfed LPS dominant 120. PO never drops below 1.0 and NO3 is usually between 40-75.
