does anyone know a kit that can upgrade the wattage on a nanocube?

I tested my phos. it was .5 I know this is high how do I reduce it?

I have good water movement and about five watts per gallon w/ 175 metal halide and 2 55 actincts. maybe phos levels are to high.

My pink birds nest acropora has turned brown almost over night. has any one else had this happen? what is it?

The puffer is healing! His mouth is much better and healing on its own. We rearranged the tank and gave him a cave and that seems to have worked. He's much calmer as he swims around and is exploring a little more. We are working on cycling a fish-only tank that he'll get first dibs on...

I am rearranging the tank today to see if that helps. Thank you for the advice. I will give it a shot

Today we tried adding a mirror and some new rock to see if its because hes bored. Any other hints would be helpful. Thanks for your help!

He does not do it at night but it does it wether I am standing in front of the tank or not. the skin is rubbed off in a little spot under his bottom lip I think it is definetly from the rubbing but wondering if I can change it without removing him from the system.

Are metal halide lighting fixtures from home depot acceptable spectrums for reef aquariums. If so do the UV filters on them affect the light spectrum?

My green spotted puffer constantly swims up and down the glass rubbing his mouth on the glass. This behavior has created a legion below his mouth. Is this a disease or another issue? If so has anyone else experienced this problem?

Thank you for the replies. It will help very much.

Is there an equation or is it trial and Error? I have a 2" dotty back, 2" tomato clown, 2.5" orange spotted goby in a 24 gallon nano cube could another fish stay within the system? I have approx 25-30lbs of live rock and a 5 inch sand bed.
