Is there a chance you could rig up a reactor for your carbon. IMO. Passive is a bit silly as only the outer layer will have flow past it and unless agitated can build up with detritus

I never really looked into reactors or auto dosing yet so I have no knowledge and where to even start with them yet =P what's the pros and cons of them from all my fellow reefers experience with them? I put my bag of carbon in between one of my baffles so I guess the flow through it would be pretty decent. Any tips on making it better if I have no reactor yet?

I dunno if I missed it or not but what are your calcium, magnesium, kh, temperature, photo period, flow, skimmer and phosphates like

All my tests are using API test kits so its not accurate but here we go. Cal was so high off their chart so I dunno and have up testing. No mag kit so don't test. 7-8 dkh. Temp hovers around 80-81. LEDS white light in for 8hr blues on for 12hr. Running 2 hydor kor 1400. Skimmer is euro reef 125 rs tank is 75g. Phosphate was lowest on the API chart so it said 0.25. I think it's much lower now after the super massive WC.

Today I noticed my green zoas are beginning to morph colors and it looks so freaking awesome!! The new morph are the ones in the middle left of the colony. It's super neon lime green now instead of dull green. There's another head that's not in the pic that's half new morph half old which is pretty dope. Should I name this ultimate green eye Trex and make tons of $$$? Haha.
