I've reeled off for now on the gorg. Instead I got a new test kit for phos. kh, and cal. I did a full test and do really now what it all means. I haven't been able to get the growth on my zoas duncan and rics I thought I should. From reading older posts I think with the current lights I have I'm only about 3 Watts away from the recommends minimum so I'll be upgrading soon

The whole wats per gallon thing is old and useless IMHO.
Salinity .026
Nitrate 10-4ppm
Nitrite 0ppm
Am 0ppm
Phos.25
Kh. 179ppm
Cal. 440
Ph 7.8
Not really sure what it all means

If nitrate is 10-40 and phosphate is .25 (assuming your using an api kit, which are terrible and shouldn't be trusted for reefs) get ready for algae. Even for softies I keep my params at nitrate <5ppm and phosphate <.05 ppm
