jdpiii3 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I recently started doing a 1-2% daily water change and carbon dosing my NO3 & Po4 are now reading 0.0 and 0.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwalk Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I recently started doing a 1-2% daily water change and carbon dosing my NO3 & Po4 are now reading 0.0 and 0.02 Do you have a refugium? The macro algae absorbs all of the nitrates and phosphates to grow and the thick sand bed of live sands deals with the biological in the tank (and of course live rock helps with that too in the actual tank). The rest of the refugium acts as a breeding ground for feeder fish, amphipods, and copepods for the fish in the aquarium and zooplankton for the corals.

SS Silv Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Here was my 55 gallon, its since been sold about 3 years ago. Not sure if I miss it. They are beautiful but a PIA especially if you have to travel alot. Theres not too many people I would trust watching my tank. 55 gallon, 25gallon sump. Euro Reef skimmer, 6 bulb T5's. Mainly SPS and LPS. All the SPS were from ORA Reef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
