What with the tablet screen near the sump?
Cant wait to see what the future holds as your old tank was amazing.

So after going through lots of headache and frustration with my reeflink, this awesome tech (Chris Fernandez) decided to replace the unit for me. This is what the wife always say and now I must agree, if you get a tech or customer support agent that is not very helpful, just hang up and call again until you find that one person who is willing to help.

Small update.
So after 3 days, my ammonia went down from 1ppm to 0ppm, nitrite went up to 0.25ppm and nitrate is at 5ppm.
Unfortunately, my phosphate is not going down even after using phosban for a couple of days, still at 1ppm...I'm in for some major diatom and HA outbreak lol

Back from Cancun and all parameters are spot on except for my Phosphate still at 0.5
Anyone has any suggestion(s) or experience(S) dealing with high phosphate and how to remedy the issue? I was thinking about dosing vodka and vinegar but hesitating since this is a brand new tank with no livestock

Well, for now, I removed phosguard from my reactor and replaced it with 2 little fishes bio plastics. I should be doing a large W/C if I don't see much or any improvement.

Wow, I get an email from BRS while in Cancun saying Radion G4 was released and available for sale. Not sure if I should trade my G3 Pro's or wait for some other reefers to get their first hands on experience before considering switching them.

Time to do a 50% W/C on both my QT tanks, btw....fishes are handling copper like a champ, even my angels and wrasses

Fishes are in, now need to get my phosphate down for the corals

Small update
Took advantage of the 15% off offer from GHL and grabbed one of their dosers, turns out I've ordered the slave but Vinny has been awesome and helped me replace them for the stand alone. Should be receiving it this Friday. I have also ordered 2 parts BRS calcium, alk and mag
Going to start a 24 dosing per 24 hrs period once I finish setting them all up.

Received the corals I won from TSA Corals ebay auction this morning. Really well packed
