Well there's part of your answer. Seems like some of the phosphate is coming from your salt mix. How do the corals look ? My tank has been running around .76, and corals seems fine... I've been walking it down because that's what you're "supposed to do" but who really knows if it matters. In...
Depends which tank which light what time. I've got my par dialied in now, but I remember being extremely disappointed after mounting a couple hydras at the "BRS recommended height"
This is a good place to start. check it into the rodi and out of the rodi. Next step is test for phosphate in the fresh water. I'm ok with some measurable phosphate in saltwater. This stuff is usually mined
All reviews for all heaters don't look promising. I buy aqueon presets off of chewey and back them up with inkbirds. Every six to nine months I throw them out and buy new ones. costs me about 45 dollars.
Save your money. Turn off all flow and use kalk paste. Be careful that the kalk paste doesn't anvalanche off a rock and land on a gold torch. Ask me how I know
With kalk you're going to always get a point where your demand exceeds your evaporation. If I were you I would start messing with kalk and increase as needed until you reach a point equivalent to your average YEARLY evaporation. Then from there start increasing 2 part as needed.
I say yearly...
Probably over thinking. I have a friend who loves "feed mode" on a skimmer. I think he just likes fancy stuff. I have enough controllers flopping about. I like a simple power chord when it makes sense.
I may have overstated what i said. Im not a copepod expert by any means, but whatever can sustain itself long term in my tank is doing so. Im not a huge fan of consumable products in this bobby
