I'm going to take it on faith that you were looking for on scene help getting your reef tank running stable. The tank is the Houston, Texas area and you don't want to spend a grand for a hand? Anybody else can help? I'm way out west in Oceanside myself.
Alternative idea would be to start a build thread and show folks what you have and describe what you need, and get the information on here for the cost of your time>
I’m trying. Still haven’t mastered this site. Thank you so much for your reply. I’m just buying more livestock to kill it. My ADHD and OCD doesn’t help matters because I want to add 5 frags a week or always moving things. On a 16 gallon I’m sure I’m doing more damage then good. I hope to upgrade to a 50 gallon next week with a sump tank. This nano has its limitations I guess. But I started over. Of course I have bought a 7 in 1 digital water test meters online only to have them un-calibrated or impossible to calibrate with the solutions they provide. Then bought a Red Sea Mag, Alk and Cal test kit that is less than simple and more about selling testing solutions than accurate results. so any help is appreciate. Lost in Houston
