NH3- 0 PPM
Nitrite- 0 PPM
Nitrate- 10-15 PPM
Will test phosphate when I steal the test kit from my bro . Water changes are in smaller increments but equate to about 15% per month.

Running the DSB Fuge with about 100 mangroves, 200 lbs of liverock, 1000g NP Biopellet in the vertex reactor, Euro reef 135 skimmer, carbon and a little bit of cheato.
My fish seem to love it and considering the polyp extention on my LPS I will continue doing so, I do larger feeding's some times right before night and have started soaking in selcon with some pretty interesting results. 5 500mg Vit C tabs are dosed daily to help out the zoas.

After feeding like this for a while I'm blown away at how many different forms of life I have going on, night time on the reef is a whole different place , btw if anyone needs cheato that is PACKED full of copepods (and limpets, live shrimp, tiger pods, bristle stars...ect...ect) shoot me a PM I have lots to spare.
