1. Upgrade system: I need 4 replmnt sub compacts bulbs, getting 2 5o/50 and 2 actinic. I also need to start refug. Get a walmart spot light and get some cheoto or caulip and maybe some live sand maybe some Miracle mud. But why? My bioload is so light with only 4 live stock.
2. Water quality: Focus on 25% wc . Tank has been up for 6 weeks w/60 pds live rock and protein skimmer. I'm dripping limewtaer for my top off right now so i cant do a reading.

Is there not a lot of activity going on to exsperate nutreints to pull ph down?
