5 and 9 is as accurate as it's going to get - The ULR actually has a fudge factor of four.
After dealing with and researching cyano like a madman the last six months, chances are your sand has some bound up PO4. Running GFO and manual removal are likely the best options until the bound up PO4 is gone. |

Looks close enough for me. I don't think chaeto is very picky. I've grown it with all different types of lights. The main reason I chose the kessil was to see if it increased tank PH, and it worked. Oh, and I only paid $80. Win win |

This has to be one of my favorite SPS tanks, it's a shame a bunch of the earlier pics are gone due to PB. I switched to using flickr, they don't compress the images as much and it's free.

Congrats, I've been following your tank for awhile. I'm a stickhead too. Where do you get your SPS from?

I've acquired most of the sps in my tank from other hobbyists. It seems like every time I try to get coral from a store or from a vendor, they always end up looking ugly. Quote:
Yep I totally agree. Totally ruined my thread. Quote:
Thanks buddy! Quote:
Yea nothing fancy like your skills, but just enough to be able to enjoy it. Hahah |

My skills? Hey, who’s the one with a fully mature stunning reef. Not me, my friend. I’m still working on that.
Your tank is amazing.

Its always great to see your success. I enjoy following your thread. You seem to choose equipment that is really reliable and you have great control of it as well. Your tank colors are so vibrant. No one gets a tank like that without both a lot of work and attention. It is really wonderful to see what you have accomplished. Inspiring! As always, thank you for sharing

Had an alk swing and lost a couple new frags. :/ But luckily I was able to catch it before any damage was done, tank has been looking great lately. |

".....tank has been looking great lately."
I agree! Tank looks really good, very impressive colonies.

Unfortunately I had some RTN going on in my tank. 3 different colonies were affected. I sent some water in to Triton, and everything looks pretty normal. I did 3-40g water changes, and the RTN stopped. I wish I knew exactly what caused it, but in this hobby that seems impossible. This was the first time since I started this tank 4 years that I’ve had this happen.
Here’s my triton results. |

Schnitzel, how frequent did you do each of those 3 water changes? what % of water would each 40g WC represent? I just want to have a felling of how you stopped the problem with out altering anything else. Thanks
