Third time better be the charm

Maybe you could assemble the letters to spell massage and then try try again. I assume, based on my assessment of the situation, that the new post would not require the same assertion of the rules. Again, just my assumption.

I love you Sean.

I love @Sean Clark as well. He’s one of my favorite people on here. I’d like to consider him my buddy, but I’m probably young enough to be his son. :grinning-face-with-sweat:

I’m new to this amazing build thread. I just have to know: is the 3rd time the charm?

I have one more time to get censored and then it will be three and I'll let you know. Unless they have a r2r jail like on Facebook.
But if you mean the tank, which of course is the reason you are all here then yes it's getting there. I am working on getting my phosphates stable and things going in an upwards direction. It's been a month since the new tank has been up and running so we are getting there. I am excited for the new opportunities this gives me with bigger fish and more corals. I just need to get things stable. But nothing in my life is stable or consistent so why should my tank be any different.

Wow WHAT COINCIDENCE. . .

.17 and nitrates at 25. So both are a bit high for my liking. I know there is no detrimental affect and I shouldn't chase numbers (or waterfalls) but things don't seem as happy as they were and I noticing recession on some of my favias.
CA is a bit high at 500 and MG is off the charts.
Alk and ph are steady at 7.4 and 8.15 respectively. I am slowly increasing the lighting intensity as we speak as well. Another test day tomorrow and I will be sending out my first Icp test as well.

Calcium is more than fine at 500ppm.

For magnesium, what test kit are you using? Did you ever dose magnesium?

How many gallons of old tank water did you use in the new system?
