So for the first time since I have moved to SF (5 years ago) from South Carolina I have not seen a single mosquito (Thank god because that was getting old.) All of a sudden starting last week I have killed 6 of them and they have been eating us alive. We keep a window open in our room so the...

It was a setting that I pulled from some one else. Something about emulating clouds that cover the sun. At the moment the numbers are toned down 70%. So it is really only running 30% of those numbers shown on the graph. Its weird I know, but it was the easiest way for me schedule something...

Right now 42 UV, 64 V, 97 RY, 93 B, 9 G, 11 DR, and 37 CW all toned down via acclimation settings at 70.

Another update! Looks like my phosphorus is steadily dropping. It was down to 52 but went back up to 68 when nitrates fell down to 1ppm. Something came up when I moved my zaos over to my gf tank for a couple days. The brown bloom I am having in my tank has seem to spread to my gf tank when I...

Couple months in ugly phase

Yah it was a Fowler tank then she went and got an anenome.... then a birdnest... then a frogspawn.... she ended up buying an AI Prime to replace her old lighting. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Another update! So since dosing the nitrate my phosphorus has dipped down to 185 hurray! This is possibly the lowest I've seen them. Decided to move the zoas to my gf's tank because they were looking real bad and the first set of zoas I moved to her tank fully opened and are loving it over...

Hahah your absolutely right. Both my gf and I started a tank around the same time and when we went to go buy it she was looked at me like I had lost it. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I actually started this last night with spectricide stump remover... the name scares the bejesus out of me. I I had seen this thread...

Thanks for the input! I definitely understand that the tank is very new it just seems like the problem I am having alot of others have had the exact same issues with 0 nite and high phos. And just visually seeing the zoas doing bad while the others are just fine is just a bit off putting =/. I...

Little but of an update. So for the last couple weeks I have introduced some more coral frags including an Acan, Favia, Hammer, and couple more Zoas. Acan already has shown some growth with 2 more heads sprouting out. Favia and hammer has shown no change but the zoas opened when I first...

I honestly dont know if we have a water softener. Also checked the phosphorus on my newly made salt water when I was doing a water change yesterday and it came out to be 6 phosphorus (.018 phosphate). Not sure if that is a margine of error ordeal or maybe there is some phosphates in the water.

Yah mine is a very light shade of blue and still is max that the reader can read up to.

I use Red Sea Coral Pro. They state 1340 MG.

Ah okay. I will look at getting some today. Thanks!

So I was hoping weekly water changes would do this. Is this not the case?

I'll give it a shot right now. I'll report back tomorrow morning with what happens.

I do have prime on hand. So I can dose prime with no negative effects? (As long as I follow directions for dosage amount on the bottle) I use a refractometer also bought calibration fluid to make sure the refractometer was calibrated correctly. (currently at 35 ppm / 1.026) Temperature in...

Ah okay for some reason i thought the difference between 1100 ish to 1400 ish was a big jump. At what levels should i worry? Sorry that was a mistake on my part. I meant red seal coral pro (the black bucket)

Bit of an update. Forgot to measure the ALK for the new water =\. So changed a couple things up. Last Wednesday I got a GFO reactor and starting using it. Friday I checked my Phosphorous still 200 BUT when I use my Hanna Checker and put in the reagent to mix with my water it does not turn a...
