Let's see some pics!

Most of the stock tanks are not designed for Saltwater, at least not today's salt water aquarium hobby. Marineland/aqueon have not changed these dimensions for the last 30+ years. That's why there's room for the likes of Waterbox/Red sea etc...

Unplug the heater and check for a few days. You don’t need a heater in the summer anyway unless you keep the house really cold.

This is about a month and half. So far, no drama. Keep a close eye on the phosphate level really seem to keeping it out of trouble. Spots of coralline algae are starting to appear. SPS don't have the PE they're supposed to have. Not sure what else to do other than water changes.

The LPS side of the tank. The bubble coral is enormous.

Looks like it has turned the corner. Take it slow you'll get there.

I will take a purple fusion and miyagi tort. Thanks!

PO4 now measures 0.08 since the last time it was measured 2 days ago. I dose 0.08/day so looks like the tank is consuming but no longer at the rate it was before. Turned this off for now and we will continue to monitor. Nothing is dying. Corals especially SPS have seen improvement, but nowhere...

Nice love mine T5 hybrid setup. It's so bright I only run the T5 for 4 hours until my SPS settles in.

Put all of them in and let it cook. I have never really cycled a tank nor used any bacteria additives. Just put a piece of live rock tank is good to go. Add livestock slowly and like everything else, slow. Bacteria will reach a population base on the bioload, adding additional bacteria does nothing.

I have dug a little deeper into this topic and it is a scientific fact that rocks and sand do absorb phosphate, until the level reaches equilibrium. What my tank experiencing here is this effect I think until one day the rocks and sand no longer absorbing. 70% of the rocks are new Marco rocks...

How big is your biocube stand? if you can measure the width I can see if it matches my biocube 29.

You do have a big tank I think but wow whatever it takes. At this rate I might have to buy NeoPhos in bulk :) We will see what happens having diatom on the glass is not a bad thing I guess. I have been wondering whether the clam consumes diatom when I clean it off the glass.

Tank is consuming basically everything I put in it. Around 0.03ppm/day. Could it be the new rock absorbing it? I doubt.

See if you can find a 24" t5 fixture for cheap. probably you best option for sps.

1 month. But the contents were transferred from my old tank.

Thanks. I also have reef roids and BRS reef chili's. Not doing much to Phos at this stage of the game.

Dosed NeoPhos to 0.03ppm and nitrate. In 24 hours it's undetectable again. Visibly more diatoms. I have never dosed phosphate before. And it should not be done on a regular basis in such amount. But the corals will die if I don't do it. Let's see how it goes. Anyone has experience with this?

I could use some if you do coming down the parkway.

From Marine Depot, for those don't know or don't want to home made :)
