Hey everyone,
Just wanted to see everyones thoughts on my system.
I have a 450L system. Has about 100kg of live rock with about 15-20mm sand bed and large refugium. Have a ribbon eel, clown fish, bristle tooth tang, blue tang, fox face, Mandarin and two wrasse.
The issue I am facing is I struggle to keep nitrate and phospate Up. And I am finding the more I dose it's only a matter of time before it starts dropping to zero and I have to increase the dose.
Dose anyone else face this problem ?
I am finding it's a balancing act between my fuge lighting schedule and always tuning my dose.
Currently I am dosing 2ppm phosphate and 2ppm nitrate a day and my levels are hovering around 0.03 phospate and 6ppm nitrate.
My fuge currently has 8 hours under a p2000 viaspectra 380w and I harvest around 20L of cheato a fortnight.
