look at what we did at every step to address the challenges
in my opinion if you redo your current tank as this one then outcomes streamline
Hello all! My name is Daniel from Florida and I’m starting to get into the reef hobby. I have been cycling my tank for two weeks now and logging it into an app. I have recently been gifted a live rock with some good amount of coralline on it. I also got some water from and established tank. My...

notice how at every step we did opposite of what the masses would do
when we start reefs on white rock vs coralline live rock, special steps are needed
dinos was prevented in his tank within the first ten days, we did not own or respond to a phosphate or nitrate test. Responding to them, those two params, is common though and so are dinos challenges. We considered what the masses would do, then did opposite. Daniel had done 4 full water changes before we had to get mean
predictably it’s a safe bet this tank has never had anywhere near one full change. We handle feeding, water changes, external rock gardening and testing for params very unusually. The entire trajectory is on file above.
that reef isn’t going to have phosguard or any other phosphate media on it, so no dinos. Daniels system is too hands on to get dinos. We discussed it on page one long before any other details: don’t test for nitrate, or phosphate and dont own phosphate or nitrate adsorbing media in a new white rock reef, and agree to clean it. then after that’s aligned, we can feed it so much all your corals will grow even though there’s no maturity or coralline. On file above
we could not CPR cheat a 200 gallon reef this way. But we did do this way on a nano due to easy access
you are too hands off for the system friendly offer. Time to get in elbow deep, until you earn coralline, then it gets easier
Nobody here would have advised any aspect of what we did there, we used uncommon rules
