So, a little update. I think its important to show challenges, not just successes.
On the upside, my system of including a refugium in the all-in-one tank instead of a skimmer, as well as an auto water changer is working very well!
Phos and Nitrate are both testing below measurable on my IDip.
Now, the result of that has been a Dino bloom (common in new tanks and low nutrient environments, organisms battling for supremacy)
and some of the corals and not looking so great.
Now, its time to fix the issue. I have achieved high nutrient export, I need to up the import, which means feed more and better.
I am starting a new feeding regime of frozen mixed with coral foods and smaller particle foods.
