Well, Algae turf scrubber has my phosphates below .00 time to take off a couple of hours of light to it. Got a couple montiporas the encrusting ones so far so good . And a pulsating xenia must be in a good spot he is pulsating like crazy. 12 zoas growing good . My alkalinity has gone from 10 to 7.6 . Will a ats drop alkalinity. Other than very low nutrients everything seams good .
 
Congratulation on your new system. :)

The 7th will be 6 months my 125 has been up. Algae Turff scubber has been awsome . I am running a proclear 150 protein skimmer 24/7. And a 150 two little fishes phosban reactor for charcoal. 7 to 8 tablespoons of carbon .every 2 weeks. Clean my skimmer at the same time. My hanna phosphate read .01 twice in 6 months so .01 to .005 is my phosphates no matter how much I feed. I only have a ati nitrate test kit but it is always yellow . I am up to 4 ml a day of reef builder. Reef calcium twice a week . Reef plus twice a week ,trace once a week. Feed 3 cubes and one big pinch of flake . At different times during the day. I have 45x turnover with all my pumps on. I have already went through a ro filter 3 di filters and 1 charcoal and sediment filters. Got a few new corals . Birdsnest, a live rock with a colony of zoas anb a mushroom on it. A green leather tree. A candy cane .
