Damn I love your videos! This is basically like BRS informative vids but straight to the point. Can you do a video on keeping phosphates and nitrates balanced?

@@fragboxcorals Hey March, Chris here. Can you do a video on how to keep Phosphate at a stable level? I run Rowaphos and my Phosphate drops to 0.00. Then I shut the reactor off and Phosphate jumps to 0.20. It's just rinse and repeat. How to keep stable 0.03 to 0.05??

Been having undetectable nitrates in my Nuvo 20 in the past 3 months and noticed some Zoas and SPS started dulling in color. Going to start slowly dosing nitrate to see if it improves things.

Nitrates have been at 1ppm for 3 months. Got an auto feeder and feed flakes / pellets twice a day and feed frozen food in the afternoon. This would be nice for me to put on my kamoer x1. Just saying lol

Hey guys, I had a massive overdose in my nano. I did a 90% WC and got through it with minimal loses. There's very little info online about what to do in these situations so it might be a good topic to cover. Also from experience do a video warning people not to use a lot of aquascape putty in a reef tank that's stocked as your oxygen levels will plummet and your fish will be in danger. That was another one of life's lessons :D

@@fragboxcorals yeah it’s a strange one alright. I’ve used it in the past without any issues. If your water goes cloudy you’ve used too much and it starts to cause serious issues with oxygen exchange. I lost nearly all my fish using two packs of D&D in a 120 nano.

my nitrates magically hit 0 after my nano (evo 13.5) finished its cycle and i added the first fish. 50% WC to drop nitrates from 20% to 10% before adding the fish, read 5ppm the next day, every day since than all levels have still been 0.. overfeeding, not changing floss etcc
