I have been dosing twice a week, and testing every Monday or Tuesday,
I did a test today and for the first time it’s perfect, every level is just right,

Ammonia:0
Nitrite:0
Nitrate:10, maybe high,I’ll do a w change
Phosphates: .10-12
Calcium: 480-490
Alkaline:11 or 196.9~
This is the best my tank has ever been,
Sadly I lost a coral,I’ll try to bring it back to life. Beside this I noticed my zoas were still closed, until I saw they were being moved to much by the power head so I moved that so another area were it will be so much flow for them. Beside that it’s looks pretty darn good so far, I believe this January or April it turns a year old.so, so far so good, if you see anything off let me know, I would change anything to make sure my animals don’t suffer.

You don't mention magnesium and while your alk is higher than where I dose daily to keep mine up at 8.1, stability of alk is more important than alk itself.

Congrats on 1 year milestone! Sounds good!

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

WE LOVE PHOTOS!!!
