FWIW, the one that perplexes me the most is ammonia... I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this tester that might make my non-zero ammonia number acceptable.
Ammonia, 1.09ppm
Alk, 8dKH
Nitrate HR, 3.7ppm
Nitrite ULR, 9 ppb
Phosphate ULR .18ppm (currently still dosing LC, this has been lowered from .72 to this today, over about 2-2.5 weeks)
Mag 1280 ppm
Cal 583 ppm
PH 8.2
Currently I still have mild amounts of algae on the glass, which I find obnoxious since it makes the tank look cloudy until I scrub it off.
Curious on peoples thoughts... This is a fairly new tank, up for 10 weeks maybe? Started with 150 pounds of gulf live rock, 100 pounds of live sand.
RedSea 425XL, 2 reefled 90's, reefmat500, dc skimmer 600, AquaUV 25.
inhabitants: 1 Favia Coral, 1 Hammer Coral, 1 flower rock anemone from live rock, 2 cleaner shrimp, 1 foxface, 1 powderblue tang, and whatever else came with the live rock.
