So long time coming an update
Tank now been running a month, live for 3 weeks.
parameters
NO2 =0
NO3 = .01 to.02 depending on how tired my eyes are
PO4 = 0
Ca = 440
DKH = 8
Mg = 1390
Salinity 34PPT
temp = 28
Redox mV = 423mV
pH = 8.01
The tank is doing really well i have not had to scrape the glass once for algea, bio bloom white film yes, but not algea. i am now running ProdiBio for 5 days and the corals are loving it. I would say there is no difference as yet I can report from FM to prodi both are equally good at nutrient reduction, but as i do not have room for a reactor I am sticking with prodi. I also hate daily dosing so prodi wins hands down on that score alone
There is also room to think about mixing and matching products but my tank is way to young to start any fancy reviews like that.
Ok back to the tank.
I got some awesome corals from ottawa inverts, I am lucky to share the same town as pat so have easy access to his huge coral racks. Pat you need more space!!!
Pictures - As you will see below much to many peoples delight the Ai lamp hangers are finished.
I hope this now meets with everyones approval
Here are some tank shots, I apologise now for the quality I am no good at photography at all, but i think you get a good idea how things are coming along.
I will continue with the profiLux tutorial/review later this week.
