As the title states my tank is doing really well right now and I am trying to pin point what I recently did so I can stick with it. The problem is as well as we all know with this hobby is that a lot of change at once is not always a good thing for this reason. It is hard to pinpoint what went wrong or right.
Anyways I plan on sticking with what I am currently doing but these are the changes I made within the last month. What do you think? Was it all of these or do you think just a couple of things?
1. I switched from IORC to Tropic Marin Pro Reef and doing weekly water changes
2. Upgraded my Mars Aqua Black Boxes and replaced the LEDs out to a better custom spectrum.
3. Changed out my CARX to a Neptune DOS to work with my Trident and dose 2-part. My CARX was not keeping my parameters steady. I was getting a 1dkh fluctuation everyday. I know this isn't much but not I get a .20 dkh at the most and it is steadily getting tighter.
4. I put Acropower on a doser and dosing daily
5. Added a chiller and now my tank stays consistent between 77.8-78.9.
A lot of changes at once but my tank seems to have responded with better color and growth.
