New tank update !!
still not a single water change
yellow tail wrasse finally out of the sand i feed him frozen he likes the frozen pods trying to make him eat pellets
i have added more fish (blue tang and a powder brown tang ) and corals esp sps everything is doing well no losses so far and tank inhabitants look happy
i got my icp and ndoc resualts
they are good no heavy metals
nutrients are good i might need to dose no3 and po4 or increase load
MO and V are high
all other trace elemnts are within parameters
been dosing 200 mil kh daily my tank is eating that up in a really high amount no clue why
iam keeping kh ca and mg stable
so far for filtration
1- skimmer
2- refugium
3-carbon
now for the bad news
i have 1200 silicon XD
the ugly tank phase has started i have diatoms every where and i have made a big expansion on y clean up crew to deal with it but its good since diatoms will take care of my high silicates and V i expect it to last for few weeks and die with no intervention on my part
thing is i wonder if i also have dinos all tank inhabitants look happy even the sps cuz if i do iam in for one ***** of a fight XD
i bought the new nyos g2 reactor to run the carbon there instead of a bag and ran gfo for a day then realised its a bad idea dont want to zero my po4
been wanting to buy live pods since i started with dead rock i have very very few pods in the chaito i got in the refugium but i think it will take them ages to reproduce but i cant find anything in my country and every place i spoke to in the USA told me they dont ship pods
