This is kinda of wild to me. My nutrients have always been way off the scale of what people consider normal. NO3 usually 50-100 and PO4 1.0-2.5. Right now my no3 is not measurable and my po4 is 0.16. I've tested multiple times with a few different tests. I guess I'll dose some nitrates and see what happens.

My frag tank had phosphate around .15-.20 with no detectable nitrates. I added a few fish and starting dosing nitrates. Finally have nitrates so cutting back on dosing. I have a liter of NeoNitro I won’t use that you can have if you don’t already have something to dose

Don’t bottom it out. Dinos will come.

Ive been fighting bubbly snot for a little while. Thankfully the uv has been keeping them at bay. Its starting to make sense now.

I just got a large bottle from @Blaise006. What's weird is that have way too many fish than i probably should in that tank.

Well I've been meaning to update this for a while. My mixing station is in my backyard and its a pain to refill my ato. I finally added a small pump in the freshwater tank and ran a line through my wall and into my ato. I hooked it to a smart switch and all I have to do now is tell Alexa to fill my ato... I plan on adding a float valve and an optical sensor to shut off the pump.

I hadn't done that yet and today after saying the magic words to Alexa I promptly forgot about it. Thankfully when I ran that line I cleaned up my electronics at the bottom of my stand. No idea how much water pumped into my stand but luckily I only fried a single power supply.

Skimmer is begging to be emptied!
Nice to see that it’s in working order

Thats because I lost power to both my return pumps and the water filled the sump.

Oy!

 

[Srt4eric]

Oy!

That reminds me that I need to turn that skimmer back on.

Wow. Four months since my last update. Most of those 4 months you couldn't even see into my tank. After loosing most my sps I had pretty much given up on the tank. Last week I decided to clean the glass and get back into it. Its been over 4 months since my last water change and my carx has been offline for about just as long. Zoas and mushrooms are looking good and the fish are all thriving.

Just starting browsing this thread, so I'm asking old questions.
Did you bring that up an iron spiral staircase?
If so, my back, neck, arms, and legs are all having sympathy pains.....

Looks like I'm keeping up with the every 4 month update. I helped @newfly breakdown his tank and got all of his rocks and what was left of the corals in his tank. I ended up just stacking them all on my existing rockscape. I kind like the look and the fish definitely like all the new holes.
