Tests today:
no3 0.05
po4 0.12
Really happy with the no3 and po4 readings with all the work done on the tank and the rock I have added of late. I have also upped the fish feeding this week I have been feeding one sheet of nori everyday with no algae in the tank and all the tangs the two smallest yellow tangs were starting to look a bit thin, I have also increase the frozen and dry food so if I can hold the readings at that I will carry on with the extra food.
I have adjusted the two skimmers to skim wetter than they were and will leave this adjust.
kh 7 I adjusted the pump because this keep going down is seems to be stable now so I will add a couple of cups of kh mixture to try and get it up to 8 where I like it.
ca 450 This is still rising after adjusting the pump down so will make another adjustment
mag 1270 Still dropping and this is with adding 100ml of mag mixture every morning plus I had given a boost of a couple of cups on Sunday :dontknow:
temp 25.5
ph 7.80
salinity 1.025
Going to do a 200ltr water change today and then make some adjustments

Thanks Dave I still need more time don't feel I have got there yet, the extra lighting I put on has made the world of difference to the growth.
I have given away two big hammer corals and one Anemone so I could spread out the sps, also added some big pieces of rock to the back of the tank to support them think I am there with the rock structure now it has taken 2&1/2 years to get it right.
Looking forward to leaving it alone now to do its thing.
