So first off levels are as follows
Calcium 480
Nitrate 80
Ammonia 0
Kh 161
Phosphates 2
so I’ve been doing some changes to my 65gal set up. I’ve added some snails of different sorts to clean last week. Just under 2 weeks ago I’ve added a 20 gal long sump with 3 chambers. Filter sock and carbon bag/refugium/return. No skimmer yet stupid stand isn’t big enough inside which new stand possibly being built this weekend. So just a filter sock with carbon bag in first one. In center/refugium just 5 days ago added dry rock rubble and marine pure plate then 3rd chamber return pump. About 3 days ago added trigger copepods to refugium with a ball of chaeto and sea grape wrapped together from lfs. Today I added some live phytoplankton to refugium. Also when I added the dry rock rubble I also added about 9 more lbs of that same dry rock to the dt to get me to close to 60lbs rock in dt. I know this is all slow process with tanks. Should I be worried about my levels especially my phosphate levels? First time I’ve got to check anything besides my nitrate as I finally got a reef test kit.
