    I think I will leave well enough alone and just wait for the nitrate reactor thingie I have ordered
  6. Bubbles do you run carbon, I think that helps to remove toxins. Where do you get your top up water from? And what are your tank tests like e.g. salinty,nitrate,phospate etc

    Thanks for that reef yea if I open the tap it doesn't work as well, next question then can I put another motor and pinwheel on the AP850 to give it more guts. Don't know what a pin wheel even is :lol:

    Can't remember if you said you run phosphate remover in a fluidiser but that is the way to go I have found, but you can't do that while running zeovit I believe.

    JDM what do you keep your kh readings at I have read that if your nitrates are high keep your kh up around 12, I have been doing this for months now. I have to dose baking soda every second day reef and cracker think I have my calium to high at 500 or just under so am letting it drop to at least 450.

    Looks very very good to me maybe just chill like me, you have nice colour no algae I have seen tanks that have nil readings but don't look as nice our have colour like you.

Tank is due for a water change but the weather is bad so thought I would see what the tank water p04 and p03 was 30 and 0.1 Been feeding to much again can't stand that big tang looking at me as if he is starving :lol: Hope I can do a water change soon and cut back on the feeding again better change that phosphate media : :roll: Think I am being kind but bad girl really :-?
