Just did my weekly testing: S.G: 1.025, pH: 8.3, Ca: 420, dKH: 8, Mg: 1330,
PO4: 0 and...............(drum roll please)........................................... ..... NO3 out of the pellet reactor: 0 NO3 in tank: 0  Over a year of battling nitrates using: nitrate sponges, vodka dosing, Tailored Aquatics Nitrate Destroyer, macro-algae, and every other damn thing; a few silly-looking little white beads does the job! I love these little lentils!

Nice try Marie  Actually, I'll probably be begging for some frags after I fry all my corals. Increasing the wattage by 570 watts (942 watts to 1512 watts) I'm going to have to really watch the corals and acclimate them slowly to the new light. With 8x T5's in the fixture I'll probably only run the MH's for a couple of hours a day to start.
