Reefing newb
I'll try to not be to long winded on this thread, but i would be greatly appreciative of any advice and criticism. I just want to do this right. Let me give a run down with what i have. 75 gal room divide setup, made the stand custom(i should have done a little research on filtration and sump dimensions first:grumble:) Since i did'nt leave enough room for a refugium underneath, i've converted my wet dry into a sump. In the sump i have a aqua c ev120 skimmer, and a next reef smr1 reactor with ecobak ulns pellets. my parameters are great and have'nt had any issues. My only problem has been inconsistent PH, about every 3rd day i have to add a buffer to bring it back up to 8.4 from as low as 7.8, and i can't get my calcium up past 360. I have 9 fish and 6-7 corals. My passion is corals. I have 3 stonys (1 sps stylopora and 2 lps frog spawn, and a cup coral) the rest are softies. Since im using the reactor (which contains probiotic media) am i making the water to nutrient free for the softies, no issues so far with them, but can i have the best of both worlds. Stonies and Softies living in harmony? By the way my lighting consist of 2 t5 fixures on each side with an LED running down the middle. Tanks been up for 5 1/2 months and iv'e had good coral growth. Thanks in advance, would appreciate all advice.:D P.S. will post pics asap.
