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

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. http://packedhead.net/2012/evolution...year-old-reef/ If this kind of link is not ok on RC, please let me know and I will happily remove it.

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.

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