wow nice :) i plan on getting the nitrates up a bit but phos has to stay down :)

phos is holding steady at 27 ppb 0.083 ppm will keep a watch

oh man .. soo sorry to hear this buddy .. if i may suggest .. do a 100 % water change .. remove all corals and fish put them in a 5g bucket .. do a 100 percent water change and acclimate them back to the tank.. i know its a lot of work ( may be 4-5 hours ) but well worth it if there is any...

Looks like i underestimated gfo Phos level dropped to -0.09 in one day Nitrate - 2-3 ppm Alk 8.7 Good to go :) Will be removing gfo tomm and will add back as and when required Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep Ill check tomm and see I probably wont run gfo long term and would depend on macro .. lets see Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

ohk ... Nitrates have been in range -- 2-5 ppm Phos has been gaining at a constant 0.035 ppm per day and at 0.184 PPM should i use GFO to take care of that slight gain everyday or would macro kick in at somepoint and take care of it ? below 0.2ppm is ok for corals i think but above that...

Sweet sticks Dan .... nice whats the one left of MattV in this Pic Dan ?

no Gunner .. but i havent done a water change in over 1.5 years or so and constantly feeding fish pellet food on a feeder, never checked any params. when i decided to move back to sps ..i expected phos and nitrates to have messed up .. completely cleaned off sump and removed sand and did 3 x...

with another 50% water change Phos now at 49 ppb 0.150 ppm good thing is its holding the level if i dont over feed .. once macro kicks in it should be good to go in the next day or two ..

:rolleyes:

FML Phos back to 114 ppb 0.350 ppm looks like another 50% water change is in order

hopefully you will find the reason for die off soon buddy :( i know it sucks to loose corals

the low range phos checker works if its saying 0 then it is 0 :) i checked back in the day adding neophos to rodi and measuring it .. what about your nitrate ?

lol not easy for your tank size Gunner .. i basically did a 40 gallon water change on a 60 gallon system .. and then threw in a bunch of macro with light running 24 hours .. ( at least 5-6 kinds in it) thanks to @Unico and @GugsJr once Phos comes under control ill cut back on the light hours...

i vote for Syncra pumps .. or ecotech

yep thats the plan i plan on keeping the macro as is though .. gives me chance to heavy feed

Phos. hanging at 94 ppb 0.288 ppm added some Chaeto and other types of macro so should go down

Ao if par is your concern Hang light higher and go up on whites Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
