So here was my tank from like 2016.
150 tall with mars aqua led’s. I never tested anything but calcium(would adjust it as need with seachem buffer to about 420) and did water changes with instant ocean. I was able to pretty much keep anything including those larger wild colonies and had no algae issues very few coral issues.
yet on my current tank I test alk like every other day, cal sometimes and po4, no3 at least once a week and try to adjust, whenever I make an adjustment no matter how small I have some sort of issue from Dino‘a to turf algae to acro tips dying.
why?
