Check phosphate too. Mine both bottomed out.

Well, almost. Slightly visible.

Some of my snails have a good amount of GHA on them so I know my nitrates are there but 1.9 still seems low

They are being used. As long as it's detectable, should be alright.

Testing alk - nitrates and phos everyday. Heavy consumption going on. Friday mag was1350. Today 1250. Calcium dropped by 40 from 480. I screwed up my all for reef brew. So, all my fault.

Time to grab the cup of sleep while I can. I am loving the progress of your reef.

Will do ! I need some inspiration lol don’t know what I’m gonna do yet

I think it would be easy since you can’t put fish in there so it’s just coral only just gotta make sure you keep up the water changes a week. I’m gonna pull some sand from the back of my 20 as well as the rock I have in the back chambers to instantly cycle it
