FarmerTy 215-gal No Water Change SPS Tank

[FarmerTy]

10% wc per week.
Big skimmer
12 liters Seachem matrix in 3 baskets. Maybe i need better flow.
Smallish dsb
Cheato- which won't grow..
I think most of it is just that the corals aren't pulling as much as before. When they were growing like mad..

Any thought to ditch the chaeto and go with some GFO in a reactor for phosphates? You can increase water change percentage to lower nitrates as well.

Forgot.. I use gfo constantly as well..
My reservoir only holds 10% of my system volume. I don't have the time or energy to do more than 1 wc a week..
I'm not too concerned. They'll come down one way or another.
I like the natural approach with cheato. I might try some iron dosing.
Thanks, Ty!

No problem! You should just do the no water change system like me. I'm the king of lazy.

Ha! Been there. That's usually what happens to me when things are humming along. When I'm limping through a screw up, I get a bit more diligent.

I'm surprised how quickly it did that as some of my easier maricultures are still finding their groove.

Truly mesmerizing so relaxing wow

Thank you for joining along OurCoralReef!

Thanks, I try to place my coral colonies for best contrast to their neighbors when I can.
