Hey i need some more inverts! i was wondering if i should get the https://www.saltwaterfish.com/site_11...ot_parent_id=4 or the https://www.saltwaterfish.com/site_11...ot_parent_id=4 Im leaning twordsthe first This is for my 55g SPS.

lol, 5er? oner more like it! :D j/kin Very nice pic!

yeah alot of people use both to keep PH stable, and calcium alk stable, but you shouldnt need to unless your on a smaller tank. Just stick to waterchanges dude.

ahh i see god set up, in that case your biobalss are the problem, with that much live rock, bioballs "sie" and start to trap nitrates, i would slowly take them out, like a hand full a day, and maybe mod the wet/dry to make it a fuge or sump.

yeah, but they will die.

also do you have bioballs in yoru wet/dry?

well you need more live rock, you want nearly 1 pound per gallon of porus rock (including base rock), i have 100+ pounds of live rock in my tank. the bacteria in the rocks can reduce the trates greatly that seems to be your problem.

Tanks filled with softies and only do waterchanges for chemicals still have 450ppm calcium, so i wouldnt worry aboutn ti much, bang guy does know his stuff.

how woudl that heppen? The SPS and LPS use the calcium for a skeleton, softs dont have skeletons. were would it go?

try feeding evryother,t hat might be your source of trates what do you have for filtration? sump, skimmer, fuge, carbon, how much LR

that can be harmfull, they are an eye sore, and they can smother corals.

depends on what kinds, some dont need any, some eat the food in the sand, but some filter out plankton, so you need good enough lights to make the plankton for it, cucs arent phytosysnthisis

softies dont use calcium, and LPS use little amounts water changes are good enough Water changes, skimmer, carbon good water quality will give you great colors.

you DOnt need a reactor, unless your gonna have an SPS only packed tank, it Realy isnt needed, WATER changes are all you need weekly water changes...

Macro alages, Like Caulerpa (but can go sexual, so i dotn reconmend caulerpa) Cheatomorpha (great dosent go sexual, and is a fast grower) Mangroves (help take out organics), Xenia (takes out Po4 and No3(i think thats what it takes out)

what is your bioload? how much do you feed, what do you feed?

anywhere, mine does good anywhere.

saltwater screws up the meter, no worry.

do you use Crushed coral? you trates level is high. dotn worry about the fish they are smart not to get sucked in, but they might if they are dieing or very sick.

i ahve maidens hari very bright neon green color, not a pale or dark color like hair hair alage,
