.1 (not .01 which is low)

Whisperer 01/09/2014 09:40 AM

With that bioload, 10.

small_polyp 01/09/2014 10:09 AM

By your tone im gona assume its higher than we would expect.
Nice system regardless

ok in that case.

PO4 = NA

why test for po4 when the tank looks that good, corals show good color and seem to be growing ?

mediumrar3 01/09/2014 11:55 AM

1.3

ptreef 01/09/2014 12:09 PM

Ok, I'll play too....
i see virtually no fish, so low, but since your posing this I'll go with a high number of .15

sirreal63 01/09/2014 12:20 PM

.2-.3 but could be a little higher, I would be interested in the nitrate number which I would guess at 15-30.

DarkStalker 01/09/2014 12:40 PM

1 ppm

Koralcrazy 01/09/2014 12:44 PM

Can you tell us about your system as well? Lighting, size, filtration, etc....you have great colors, that are deep and vibrant!

my phosphate guess is 0.1

Thales 01/09/2014 12:56 PM

This is fun.

Here is a link to an article about the system with a very soft focus on water quality, and the numbers are pretty general so I think it doesn't really spoil the game.

If this kind of link is not ok on RC, please let me know and I will happily remove it.

sirreal63 01/09/2014 01:05 PM

The link looks fine Rich, no issues that I see. I want to thank you for posting this, it has been a long time since I browsed Skeptical Reefkeeping, I have a few years worth to catch up on. It should be mandatory reading for new hobbyists. :beer:

That's awful nice Jack! The next installment is about testing, chasing numbers and phosphate. :D

therra978 01/09/2014 03:33 PM

.17

jazzman7838 01/09/2014 04:11 PM

So the phosphate concentration is 100 times higher than the "limiting" concentration and yet you have no algae problems? What's your secret?
