#1 Pretty white.

#2 Little more of a windex look, which I don't really like but looks OK?
What do y'all think?
I like the blue more

I use Reef Roids but I struggle to have detectable phosphates so it works for my tank. Lots of people say it raises phosphates in their tanks.
Thank you. As you and Luis thinks it has impact for nitrate and phosphate, it is a no go for me. I put yesterday tropic elimi rapid to reduce 30ppm, this morning only 3ppm reduction from 44 to 41.

I am awake making coffee,, came home yesterday morn after work, did yard work, added a aquamaxx gfo reactor to the sump, cleaned the sump and rearranged things. Have to finish the felt/sponge rack for chamber 1. Which I will also add carbon to once in a while. Took out the carbon reactor to save electric and make room and also save time in cleaning and changing out carbon.Will be easier to just add carbon in net bag and place in felt/sponge rack. So I worked all night and day, made a bourbon around 4pm and sat watched tank. Passed out at some time, girl woke me at 9pm and went to sleep, just woke up...It was a long work week. Today gym chest day and then plant some flowers in the backyard for the girl...oooh coffee done be right back...

maybe have the lights start out windex blue to give them the violet spectrum early in the morning and then switch to the color you like to view the tank and then ramp down to the blue side of things at night...I know you know too much white,red and green can grow algae...I am still tinkering with my 4 radions and 3 kessils...I lean to 100% blue first 2 hours kessils only. then radions come on blue for 2 hr, from, there 4 hours of white blue,no red or green, at higher intensity and then the ramp down...so 7am to 9pm... I do like white look in the 300 but girl does not like that her zoa gardens dont GLOW....hahaha

I read that Benipets does not raise phosphate, I’m going to try that next.

That's another reason I have been hesitant to glue I like being able to move thing but at the same time I don't have enough tight places to stick them in that will hold them.
you can always get a drill with a concrete bit and carfully drill holes into the dry rock so you can play battle ship (hahah that was a good game) with the plugs if you keep frags on the plugs...

I recently started this hobby but I have been hearing stories of someone who made the best fish food in Miami and now he is back making it and I recently contacted him and he sent me 3 packages today. I will be testing it these days and I will let you know.

Does it have anything to do with nitrates and phosphates? I use reef roid and I have seen good growth and good coloration in the corals but at the same time I have been fighting with the increase in nitrates and phosphates
It doesn’t seem to, I just use twice a week.
