Hi guys, long time reefer here (2001). Latest build is reefer 450 and in this tank I've decided to go heavy on sps.
This has been a LONG road with Marco Rock. (A whole other talk show) when I have always used real fiji. Tank is 3 yrs. Up until Christmas was dealing with a long war with GHA And sanded algae. Doubled down and poof.. tank seems finally stable and mature.
Of course I started with the easy stuff and some have grown into decent colonies (stylos, monti) ready to move to some higher end pieces.
My question is this tank has almost NEVER registered a po4 value. No matter what or how often I feed. Zero on the Hanna. I scrape the algae from the glass daily other wise algae problems gone. I get skimmate, chato grows slowly. The only time I registered reading was when I was dosing PO4 (blasphemy for an old schooler lol). Should I be concerned? Nervous to add higher end frags.
Rsr 450
ReefLED 90 X'S 3
trigger platinum sump with rollermat
Alk ~8 Ca~420 mg 1279 (currently slowly raising) dosing brs 3 part. 30 ml per day alk.
PO4 - 0.00 (HANNA)
N03 -3ppm Nyos
PH - 8.1 night -8.3 day
Neptune Gro over fuge
Will add some tank shots tomorrow. Light are out now
