I have a single milipora to test this system I've had running stable for the past 7 month. It's 25 gallon peninsula with an ATO, 2 orphek blue plus, and a hydra 32 for good lighting.
Parameters are as follows
Phos: 0.08
Nitrate 26
Mag 1250
Dkh 8.2
Cal 412

System has been running very stable and adding more acros in this weekend. Be feeding baby brine shrimp to the 2 inhabitants and the mili is in love. I've had it in the tank for 2 months. Didn't grow much but it just started taking off. It's happy but I'd like to know if someone could have clue about what's going on with the color and why is it so light but happy?

Po4 and nitrates are a little high and you Mg is a bit low.

Slightly elevated nitrate and phosphate like you have often lead to better color. Your mag is a little low.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

  • I haven’t really considered this before
