Hi reefers!
My setup has been running for about a year now and I have been adding a lot more SPS frags to the DT.
Since I have added a sump to the setup my nitrates have settled at 2ppm readable levels from the Red Sea Pro kit and using the Hanna checker my phosphates usually read between 0.10 and 0.18
I do feed twice a day, but since I own a wrasse I don't want to starve it and as such I will continue to do so.
At what point should I run a reactor (I already ordered one) since a lot of people are aiming for 0.02 phosphate and I simply cannot seem to lower my phosphates otherwise (even using PhosGuard in the filtersock for some days at a time)
I must also add that I haven't been doing waterchanges for a while, and not planning to do them either, I am trying to use an all in one sump solution and dosing to keep water parameters at desired levels.
