Is it true if you have a larger amount of corals they will somewhat consume nitrates?

Figured it out it was because my magnesium was low. Dropped to like 1100 so was throwing off others

Open top

My magnesium is at 1460. Yeah I don't understand why every other day I check and my alkalinity goes from 8.5 to 6 and calcium drops from 440 to 400. Pic of each coral as of today. Everything you see with coralline has got that way in the last 3 months.

Using api and salifert calcium and alkalinity test every other day. Monti cap is growing decent and branching monti is forming 2 new arms. I have about 3 or 4 good size rocks almost covered in coralline in the past 2 months. That's why I asked seems like all my calcium and alkalinity is going...

I have a acro and a monti cap and branching monti. Also a pocelipora and a few lps and softies. The montis are growing but nothing else. It's been 4 months.

So I'm dosing 2 part to my 180. I have to dose about 200 ml of alkalinity and 140 ml calcium a day. My coralline is spreading and my monti cap is growing slow but the rest aren't. All my corals open and are happy . Do I need to wait for my corraline to stop taking all my calcium?

Tank is 5 months and is a 180. Yeah every 2 days it drops from 9 to 7

Not really have 2 rocks growing it pretty good

Open top and I run my skimmer airline out my stand to breath better. But will a airstone help maybe?

I switched to brs 2 part a week ago. I took my readings and used the calculator and got my levels right. By right I mean calcium at 420 Alkalinity at 9 and magnesium at 1420. Since then every 2 days I test and the only thing that changes is my alkalinity it drops to 7 every other day but nothing...

Was told he will eat frozen mysis so fingers crossed. If not I need more pods

Tank is a 180. And yes just got the clam friday

So here are the latest new friends in my tank. The hippo is shy still only been 3 days

Anyone else have a fish that loves a coral?

Just a question for the group. Both do about the same thing which is remove nitrates correct? Other than a place for copepods to live can a reactor replace chaeto as long as it is skimmer out well????

Thanks. Keep seeing videos of tanks my size with a bunch of fish. I'm good with this load just looking at it with all my rock seemed like more than it should be.

Seems dumb to ask but here goes. I now have a 180 and have a pair of clowns, pair of bangaii cardinals, a fire fish, yellow tang and a fox face. On the way is a hippo tang and a naso tang. So is this to many fish?

Yeah 6 foot by 2 and 26 inches tall

Yeah I have a skimmer. Think my issue is because when I switched over my tanks to the 180 all my chaeto died. Think once I get more chaeto it will correct itself again. Might try sugar or vinegar till my lfs gets some chaeto in. Thanks

All my fish are fine and corals doing ok. Well all but my toadstool is acting mad. My nitrates have went to 40 up to 60. I know it's not that high but noticing some algae on a few rocks and sand is turning brown. Should I worry or any hints to get it down?

I got an awsome deal. Was at tax time also so lucky my wife loves me.

I want a starfish but need help. What is the best reef safe star that will clean sand and be somewhat active so I can see it. What are your best thoughts not costing alot of money?

Just got all my rock cured to fill my new 180. Will get my blonde naso tang and hippo tang in a few days. Then will be stocking corals.

I use a bag of phosgaurd in my sump and so far my nitrates are very close to zero
