    Battling Nitrates & Phosphates

    Are you sure raising from 35% intensity to 100% over 3 days is okay?? That's almost tripling the intensity. I have a refugium and a light ready to go, I may get chaeto from absolutely fish tonight.. is that trusted enough? I will be replacing a turbo snail that passed away 1.5 weeks ago...

    Battling Nitrates & Phosphates

    What ICP test do you recommend? You don't think I should add some more CUC members? snails? in the meantime? Should I continue to raise my lights intensity 10% per week? Should I get some chaeto to put into my fuge to get some nutrient export going?

    I am going no faster than my smaller AIO tank - and that tank is (knock on wood) doing great. I went so incredibly slow with the frag tank. Let it cycle for 2 months without touching it.. I than added CUC waited another month and than added fish & corals. I think algae came in on a frag and...

    Battling Nitrates & Phosphates

    I have rock and I have enough marine pure spheres to equal I think 150 gallon tank. I do not have sand as I figured it would be easier to manage. I know it's gonna be a struggle and yes the tank is six months old... My main tank is just breaching a year. My skimmer is a ice cap k1-100 it's...

    Battling Nitrates & Phosphates

    I truly don't know if I have zero nitrates & need to dose nitrates or if the algae is eating the nitrates in the tank... I think another fish or two will help but I don't want to overpopulate my frag tank... on the other hand though I have an oversized skimmer... so maybe it's time to throw...

    Battling Nitrates & Phosphates

    Howdy, I am struggling with my frag tank... my display tank (separate system) which is more mixed reef (fish & coral) balances itself better. So here goes. My frag tank is a 34 deep blue with a 15ish gallon sump. I run (2) kessil A160we tuna blue's. The tank started minimal cycled & than...
