Intentionally 1.5 to 2x, and have recently slightly increased that, but not significantly. However, I might go to a higher turnover temporarily to see if this makes a difference. Thank you for bringing this up.

You put LC in yours, I do not. I add ozone, you do not. I add Elimi NP, you do not. Probably a ton of other difference specifically in terms of feeding between what you are adding and what I do which might drive a different outcome. I am actually of the view that I should feed more to make the...

Specifically, this type and color is very nice. i am trying to grow a yellow one to this size.

In theory, yes. Reality is that skimmer body shape and more options with pump settings and water levels can make a meaningful difference in skimming overall. By the way, I am familiar with wet skimming vs. dry skimming, but this skimmer either skims wet or nothing in my tank. I also previously...

Royal Exclusive - costs more than a car, though.

Hm, tbh, not sure. Everything related to plumbing (and electrical) is a big mystery to me.

Nitrates and Phosphates remain rather high in this tank - 28 mg/L and 0.32 mg/L, respectively. I have been using 5 ml Elimi NP daily, which keeps parameters from exploding, but I believe I simply feed too much and have potentially too many fish in there. Also, the skimmer - Reef Octopus Elite...

You lost me with this, but I am sure it would help. I just think the Hydros 0-10V quad cable and extension are not properly connected but we struggled with finding better and stronger ways to keep the connection. We have now soldered the particular one together which seems to have done the...

I would dilute and hand-dose until you get a feeling for this. And then consider auto-dosing. I do phosban from little fishies and have diluted this 1 to 5 I believe. Results come slow but they come within a week or less. Still, I am not a fan of LC and only use this as a last resort or ideally...

I think this topic has been explored in as much detail as possible already - see below. I would not assume phosphate E is less concentrated than other products unless you try and determine it is less effective with the recommended dose...

I am using the two Quanta Light Helix bars and two ATLAS with the Hydros Control X4 and its 0-10V connector. For months, there are on and off issues with the dimming through the 0-10V connector, which leads to any of the ATLAS or Helix bars turning on and off at random constantly thoughout the...

Listen to the pros.

I can share more detailed feedback later or let me know if you have any concrete questions, but the recent improvement on their reporting shows you now what to focus on. This is under ‘overview of dosages’ and the priority allocated to this. I would look into priority 1 and 2 and determine if...

@JVU - Thank you for sharing this website - I did not know about this. Very helpful.

This looks like a good price - https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0C1Z4GLKS?active=price_amazon&context=popular

Yes, and both scenarios, it filled too much and not enough. I had it for 1.5 years or so. When it works, it’s good. I do no longer recommend this. I wish someone would come with a Aqualogic/Ranco type of ATO system (yes, I know I made fun of this in another post). Switched both tanks to the...

Welcome. You might want to look into a proper camera/phone lens filter in the future so that we can help you better when you progress further and encounter challenges. There might be some on our freebie table at the swaps but they are also rather inexpensive yet useful for the purpose of this...

I am glad you did this. To me it looks like they measured two different tanks. I only compared a few that matter (to me), but CA (as you stated) and MG differ significantly, and dosing adjustments would be potentially large for these macro elements if you were to make them. Sr is also way off...

Yes, there is something or someone she does not like in my tank. The trigger and borb anthias pair dominate the feeding, then the fox face and the white tail. Clowns always get leftovers and royal gramma and the new joiner / springeri damsel find ways to eat despite being bullied. No one...
