    Since you're on Dr. Tim's forum, I'm assuming you used One and Only to jump-start your tank? Did you also start with live rock? Live sand? What is...

    Not real happy with reef breeders led and sps...add T5 for better growth? Or go MH?

    I'd like to see a reading on your PO4 as well as NO3 from a high-quality kit/monitor. If you're going SPS, you should have them. Those levels are...

    Question on my GFO reactor
