Where do you keep your Parameters and do you chase numbers?

[Thatguy96]

Tell us your nitrate and phosphate parameters, what range do you try to keep them at and if you have a SPS dominate or mixed reef? Picture of your reef would be nice to if you have one.

Phosphate…..05-.10
Nitrate…………5-10
Alk…8.5
Calcium….450
Magnesium..1350
Potassium…380
Iodine…3
Strontium..10
Temp..78
Ph…8.1
These numbers will fluctuate some …

Proff is in the pudding sir. Amazing setup. You definitely motivated me to order that potassium test kit.

Whattttttttt the green colony to the bottom left looks amazinggg ??? tank looks amazinggg

 

[MIKE NY]

Thanks guys! The green colony is a Monti Undata

Rachid potassium is one of those elements for me that if it’s to low( under 350) will effect color and if too high( over 450) will cause RTN. In my heavily stocked tank it depletes quickly and the W/Cs, reactor just don’t replenish it so I dose it along with TM A&K elements.

nitrates 2-5
phosphates 0.02-0.1
alk 7.5-8.5
cal 480
mag 1300

pretty much sps dominant
g5xr3 plus t5
co2 scrubber
with geocalcium reactor and protein skimmer
i do icp test usually 2 x per year too
i had the potassium test kit but it was a pita for me
i dose red sea abcd and ab+when i remember
i chase numbers all the time
that’s part of the fun

What’s up dudessss, I have a pretty controversial tank most people won’t agree with what I am doing but it is being done.

I do not test my parameters frankly the only parameter I know in my aquarium is the salinity but this is my 15 gallon peninsula

Stock list:
1 purple tang
2 sail fin tangs
1 hippo tang
1 copper band * just added *
1 purple fire fish
1 red fire fish
2 damsels
3 bangi cardinals *just added*
11 baby clown fishes
1 6 Line wrass
Yeah it’s insane by the way I do not run a skimmer I also do not dose my aquarium I just do a 5 gallon water change twice a week

Still running the 20 gallon bro? The 15 gallon looks sick!

Thank you brothaaaaaa the 20 is doing pretty good it’s smooth sailingg I haven’t added anything in a while

I notice there is more aggression when you add 2 of the same tangs

 

[BryanD]

It’s night time in the reef but check it out I picked up 11 clown fishes for the 15 gallon today

I may be odd one out with all the thumbs up but we are a fish community so I'll have to say it.

Not tang police just a wth kind of person. Do what you gotta do.

Hot damn not 1 BUT 3 tangs in a nano?

Nice tank but lesbihonest.
