Honestly not sure other than maybe my new salt water.im going to assume it should start going down with my new additions to my tank. I’m not going to do a water change this weekend if I can get my nitrates down with the skimmer. They were a little high that day because i feed the tank that morning.
Yea it most likely is from the salt. You use Red Sea Coral Pro right? We sell the same at the shop I work at. A lot of our customers tanks we lean use it as well. I'll keep an eye on their Mag too to do a comparison. Again it's not really a huge issue. Yes I'm curious to see how the skimmer does with your Nitrates. Keep me posted! You have a test kit coming this week correct?

Lookin good!! I love those orange zoos! Do you know what kind they are?
They were a part of the grand prize i won from @Joe Knows Reefs live sale on Saturday. I asked them and they said they didn’t have a name! I even posted a thread in the Zoa board and no luck! They are so bright and amazing. I’m in love

Aww man, surprised you can't find the name especially on a Zoa board. Yea the color is SUPER BRIGHT! I've got a pretty nice Flower garden in my cube. 13 species of Zoa & 7 Paly's.

@Luckyduck when I got that order of zoas and my prizes from the live sale my boyfriend looked at me and said so when are you going to get a bigger tank? i told him as soon as we get a house or maybe Christmas
I can't wait to upgrade either my wife said the same. Soon as we get a bigger house I can! Lol I just got a job at my LFS and I've seen some amazing customer tanks already. We went to this mansion today to clean this lady's tanks, she had a 60g, a 300g & a 500g. I'll snap a pic of the 500 next week when we go to show you. It's HUGE!! Like 4 feet long 2 feet ish wide but like 6-7 feet tall! It's nuts.

Looks like you're gettin there. I'm cycling some rock I made. Unfortunately your can't tell if it's done with an ammonia test, gotta test PH from the concrete as it's like 11 and it will drop down to 8 once it's cycled (like 3-5 weeks).

Oh nice. I love Zoas. One of my favorite corals. I'm gonna start fragging my AOI Zoos soon. I dip all of my corals.
