The thruth is, that my nutrient levels change from month to month, week to week, day to day and hour to hour.
In the reef showcase I took the data from the ICP sheet that was actual on that time. The nutrients in the ROTM are goal levels for me. But as I said, my nutrient levels are extremely unconsistent.
That makes perfect sense. :)

What T5 bulbs do you use?

Beautiful tank! I'd love it though, if you esteemed ROTM folks would use common names for livestock, rather than the Latin names. I know many of the Latin names, but not most!

What is this coral? Gorgeous!

The issue is that this Acropora millepora is likely to look different depending on lighting, water parameters, etc.. And then the same coral is given multiple different “common names”.

Oly your tank is a masterpiece! So clean and beautiful contrast!

I’m a big fan of changing out sand periodically as you do but my coral has grown in so much I cannot any more unfortunately.

Are you able to verify summarize your lighting photoperiod? Nothing too specific needed just wondering if it’s all 8 bulbs and LED all day or if you stagger and ramp.

I really should change out the sand in my reef. It's moved over to one side and is quite deep now, unfortunately. I am concerned that it has basically become a DSB and will be a problem to remove.

Sure, have a look on these screenshots of the hybrid settings
