Tank has been running for 7 months now. I’m always excited to come home to see my tank I’ve lost only one coral which was a torch that had a polyp bailout but I think that’s pretty good having lost only one coral for the first 7 months. I do struggle with low nutrients my nitrate hover around 1.2-2ppm. I often hear people’s nitrates are high as 30ppm and their tank are doing good.Overall I’m elated on the current situation with my tank and especially finding about this forum has given me more insight in this hobby. Thank you for reading.
