Since I know that you also run NOPOX, what are your NO3 and PO4 levels?

As a trial I tapered and stopped the NOPOX because it was working too well and zeroing out my NO3 and PO4 in conjunction with the chaeto.
Now my levels are very low (NO3- 5 ppm, PO4 approx 0 ppm with Salifert), with just the chaeto and no NOPOX for a couple weeks. Chaeto is growing like nuts. I’m still a bit fan of NOPOX because it works amazingly well, but I overall prefer a refugium for pods, because it appeals to me as a biological system, and because it’s one less thing to do every day. |

Added a Convict Tang to my DT a few weeks ago. He was definitely not thin while I had him in QT and noticed that it looked like he had lost weight even though he's eating well. However, it looks like he’s gained a bit of it back now.....Will have to keep an eye on him
