I think somewhat overlooked, and honestly one of the harder things to do is just to keep the bioload down and not feed a tonne. It is hard not to add that extra fish!

I am on the full zeovit system, its a bit tricky when you first start it but after it gets easier with the dosing recommandations. If you are committed to dose everyday and check water conditions, its a great system.
Nitrates are 1 Phosphates are 0.00

I'm all over the map as far as nutrient sinks go, my phosphate is @ zero (Elos) but my nitrate hovers around 10ppm. The Bioload is... a little over the top
 so to combat:Water Changes (20% Monthly) Vertex 15 NP BioPellet Reactor 20g Cheato Reactor Hydor Performance 700 Skimmer TLF Running GFO Carbon refreshed monthly 150 Red Mangroves 350lbs of Liverock 200lbs of Livesand including a 30g 8 inch DSB Have also started running the full ProdiBio lineup but it's a little early to tell how well that is working. Even at 10ppm I'm getting some wicked color in the SPS.
