Looks good, if you have some basic tools drill some holes for frag as well as a hole for some rods to hold the rock together Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Skkye Light seems to always have decent par figures for growing corals, even SPS but at its price their are other options imo unless you find one at a deal. I have the 92watt tablet, great growth, colors & aesthetics with mine but loud & non dimmable. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Daily water changes, around 20% for a week. Don't feed for first two days. when you say your phosphates are zero what kit are you using? Last is do a lights out period for 2 days on day 4, corals & livestock will survive. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I guess anything is possible but thinking out loud a tank that is a year old shouldn't rely on plants to handle the bio load? Will do a series of pwc, add Prime to tank water just in case & go from there. Need to run tests again just to make sure its still an issue Sent from my iPad using...

I don't use water treatment since i have been using ro water, is Safe like Prime? So i should look for some ammonia media and use it? I guess if i need to i will but am a bit concerned on what caused it in the first place. I used to have Hornwort in my tank, grew like a weed and had to prune...

I do about 50%weekly, i use Seachem Equilibrium to replenish all minerals into my ro water plus i use about 2-3 gallons of waste water just in case to make sure their is enough minerals in the tank for the plants. Every second week i clean with old tank water either my fluval 205 or my AC70. I...
