    they really do. They are actually growing pretty good right now. I have amazing softies and clams, makes me wonder what will happen when everything gets 'in-line'

    Seriously, no kidding. If it's not broken.....I used to have the most beautiful Euphyllias and fast growing when my nitrates were around 40. If one could only keep a higher nitrate without growing algae (or cyano) we might be on to something.

    My trates are well above 100 in my other tank and no algae. Gotta love dry rock.

    And you have not lost your reefing honor badge yet. :eek:

    So you're running the UHNS systems rather than the ULNS.

    Are all your big eaters in the 100 ppm tank or is that the new system?

    Yeah the tank with the zebra tang. He loves us so much. Because we give him food. That tank is probably north of 100ppm. My reef tank is around 50ppm which I don't even know how since im running about 1.5L of biopellets. I just added .5 L of Ecobak Plus and my skimmate dramatically changed color so I think SOMETHING is happening.
