Thanks. I am aware of the various dialogues on Li and how high levels should not cause problems. Just seems coincidental that things turned around after switching salts, but again I need to do another Triton test to see where everything stands now.
Yes, that is what I believe. Once the chaeto was growing at a good clip the dinos started to dissipate.
The tank has been doing MUCH better the last few weeks. I did lose a number of frags but the ones that survived are now regrowing over areas where there were burnt tips and recession. Planning to do another Triton test very soon to see what changed after the change in salt. Here are the wiring instructions I followed to connect my fixtures to the Luxcore ballasts. They are at the bottom of the page: https://reefbum.com/my-setup/lighting/
My tank is 60" and I can't recall at the time whether a 60" fixture was available. I do have two islands in my tank so I wanted to center the two 24" fixtures over them....probably doesn't make a big difference versus using one 48" fixture.
Every 12 months.
Yeah......that was a great tank
Things are starting to turn around with this one.
Yes, my nutrient export was too efficient. Right now I am experimenting without using a skimmer so I will see how that goes.
The tank has continued to make some good progress since the beginning of the year. Here is a series of full tank shots since a year ago. As I mentioned before, I lost a lot of frags at the end of last year due to either very low phosphates in the tank or a rusty magnet, but things have turned around.
