Thanks, I just run a large skimmer and do water changes once a week. I don't have any specific methods or fancy gadgets to control p04 and n03.

That’s fantastic, just with barebones setup you have one of the beautiful tanks out there. Just curious what salt do you use ? And what is your Calrx media.

Thanks in advance

Hi, I lost my whole colony in the crash, but I recently got a small piece back from my buddy. So I will post pics once it is a reasonable size.

Amazing acro; in your opinion what id the best lightining for sps?radion or t5?
The best thing in my opinion is a combination of all 3, halides, t5 and leds. This way all the negatives of each lighting are complimented by the other forms. But if I were to pick between radions and t5 I would pick radions because of their flexibility.
However, I believe the most important thing for sps is your water quality. Lighting is second after that.

between ecotech and t5 would you choose ecotech gen 4? What are the best water parameters in your opinion?

I'd pick the g4s.
Water parameters are pretty basic Calcium, Alkalinity, and Magnesium are primarily the only 3 things I test for. It has a lot to do with stability and the trace elements that we can't test for I think.
