NO3 & PO4

Not sure how I can test it though. wouldn't the green throw off the titration?
If I fed your batch to my tank I would have no issues but your tank may be different

Oh, you mean test my tank. I thought you wanted me to test the culture. LOL I'n sitting here scratching my head trying to figure out how I'm going to do a titration test on green water.

If you've been feeding fertilizer to culture then it will be high on NO3 & PO4. Won't have to test. You may want to try one drop every 30 seconds and I'm guessing you will have to figure it out but the reason you do a drop and then wait is hopefully your filtration system will handle the high nitrates and PO4 at that rate or you may have to do like one drop then wait a minute, you'll have to figure it out

Hmm. I think I'll wait just to be safe then. I have plenty of filtration but it's only phytoplankton. If it crashes it crashes. I can always start another batch and at least I'll have some idea of what color I'm looking for next time. compared to the picture I posted last Sunday I can't even see the hard line tubing or even the light though the jar anymore.

So, this morning I go to check the tank because the roller filter is beeping again and I notice there is sand everywhere on the rock in my tank. It appears as though my Electric Blue Damsel is deciding to spawn and had dug a huge hole in the sand bed under the rock.

Hey just chiming in mostly to follow. Looks good. Any tips as far as mounting filter feeders so you can place them upside down? I usually like to move my corals around a bit get get them in a happy spot for them that is also visually pleasing. Gluing something upside down makes this a lot more difficult.

I use magnet, I do this you may not, but ceramic magnets (homedepot)don't dissolve, there's epoxy and plastic covered ones too.
