ill post a pic in a bit but im as simple as it gets.
90g tank
90g sump
asm skimmer
mh/t5/led combo
tlf reactor for gfo
tap water for top up
weekly water changes of 20g every sunday with IO
45g fuge with halimeda,red macro,dragon macro(?),mangroves,cheato,dsb
recently added a ATS
i have absolutely no algae in the display i run a mixed reef but mostly lps i am getting the best growth ive ever had with a mixed reef, my sand is white, my glass is algae free and my rocks are sptless.
im getting huge pod growth and lots of growth from my macro.
i stopped testing for phosphate because im running gfo so im not gonna do anymore than that regardless of what the tests say.
i have high nitrates( -40ppm) but my corals dont seem to mind.
i have a low bio load of less than a dozen small fish and dont plan on getting anymore anytime soon.
if the algae scrubber does not work i may consider carbon dosing but right now its a last resort method as the ATS seems like its gonna do what its supposed to
ill post a pic or vid later
oh and i tell everyone i help start new tanks that simple has success and is the better way to go with a new tank, add the bells and whistles after the tank gets loaded with fish and corals.
