Hello everyone, I’m Daniel and I own a 90 gallon salt water reef tank. It was given to me by a the previous owner who could no longer take care of the tank. The tank had a very bad aptasia problem. I have had it for a couple of months and I’ve been learning and transforming the tank to a piece of art. I have always been fascinated by fish. I’m glad to be a part of this group and I’m sure I’ll have lots of questions down the road. Still somewhat new to hobby so if anyone has tricks or tips that can help. Please feel free to reach out I’m always down to learn something new. Ps the tank still has aptasia, but the Berghia’s are slowly doing work.

So I started a 28g saltwater nano in late March. I’ve been testing my water weekly and everything is stable but slowly working on better levels in calcium, magnesium alkalinity and phosphate. I solely was using salifert as my testing kit until this week. Every week my phosphate has read zero. I mean, I have the skimmer off. I have sun coral so I’m feeding with reefroids every night and overfeeding to increase my phosphate. Yet, this week is still 0. In anticipation of the reading I ordered a Hanna testing kit for phosphate because I can’t believe it’s still at zero after all this time. First Hanna reading was 0.25 (eek) Second Hanna reading was 0.35 (eek even worse) Turned the skimmer on and went to Aquarium Arts their Hanna read 0.79 (🫪) Around 8pm checked with Hanna again after checking expiration dates (nothing expired) and it read 0.16. Wondering if anyone else has had experience with phosphate not showing at all with salifert?

Hey yall, I just got a new 200ga tank. It currently set up with dual corner bulkhead strainers. And a center intake. I’m assuming I should change the strainers out for overflows. Will x2 Fiji cube 800gph overflow boxes be enough?

Over 20 new colonies added into the 25% off tank just in time for the weekend.
