Hello Reef2Reef! I have been a member for a few years but never really used the site. I think i made a post or two. I have been a member on another site but I am going to start using this site as well. I can't get enough Reef chatter, reading, research etc... I need new stuff. So i am here and will be posting, reading, helping etc... I have been into Saltwater for a long time. I had a lot of issues with my tank when it was a FOWLR. Nitrates were over 160ppm at that time I used API NO3 test kit and it looked liked I had given blood when I ran a test. Now my NO3 is zero and I am starting my SPS that I added back in July. Lost a few. Took my GFO and GAC offline started feeding heavy and adding Red Sea Energy A&B and starting to get color back. PO4 is staying at .05. I want to raise my NO3 to about 1ppm its not easy, lol! Anyway here is my setup!
