JRawsky 90 Gallon Build

My MP10's have been fine so far. The magnet is right at the brink. So far they've stayed in place but the systems only been running for about a week.

 

I completed the install of the two little fishies reactors. I'm running HC GFO in the first chamber and BFS Carbon in the second. The first reactor is fed by a Maxi-Jet 900 that's dialed back and that directly feeds the second reactor. I've been testing parameters once a week and Ammonia is >.25, Nitrite unsure (no test), Nitrates 5-10 PPM. Alk, MG, CA are all withing their respective ranges. I will dial those in as I add corals, etc. PH is stable at 8.2. Salinity is 1.024 (refractometer) and temp is 77 F. I would like to download the reef parameters download I've seen other members using if anyone can clue me in on where to get that I would appreciate it. I'm going to continue watching my levels and get a Nitrite test this week to make sure that part of the cycle is complete. I used FritzZyme 9 Nitrifying Bacteria to start the cycle, so I'm hoping this aided in the process of the first few stages. I added some brine shrimp at the same time to feed the bacteria growth. I'm going to pick up some LR from my local LFS to seed the tank with some life and coralline algae. I haven't finalized my stocking list yet but will update the thread with my initial thoughts. Looking forward to some more interesting posts with livestock.

 

It's been a little while since I've updated. Since the last post I've been adding some livestock, corals, and CUC to increase bio-load slowly. I've been monitoring Nitrates, Phosphates, Magnesium, Alkalinity, Calcium, Salinty, PH, and temp. I've been running High Capacity GFO (BRS) and Carbon. Everything is testing within reef parameters. I have seen an elevated PH when I dose ALK and CA. Levels range between 8.3 - 8.5. I'm going to do a 15 gallon water change this weekend to revive trace elements. If things stay consistent I'm going to add more livestock and coral in the next few weeks. I would like to display parameters. Does anyone know where to get the parameters log that you can attach so posts?
