So I was going to upload some photos last night but am unfortunately fighting a cold and didn't get a chance to take many photos. I'll try again this evening.
I added another 0.5L of Roawphos to the reactor and am hopeful that will do the job to bring the phosphates to an undetectable level. The nitrates, however have seemed to increase slightly to approximately 30ppm. I'm not sure if the bacteria colony is not fully matured I. The BioTower, but considering there are only 4 fish (2 blue chromis, 1 medium yellow tang, and 1 pink spot goby), in 1300 gallons of system water, I wouldn't expect it to be so high. Is this normal for the "newness" of the tank?
I am already looking into a sulphur reactor as this was what worked like a charm on my previous 210 gallon. I have been doing some research into the GEO sulphur denitrators...anyone have experience with them? I had a korralin denitrator and it brought my nitrates down from 50ppm to 0ppm in roughly a month...amazing.
I plan on doing a 250 water change this weekend and then shortly thereafter installing the Stenner dual pump auto water change system, but if I'm having nitrate issues with 4 fish, my plan to stock it with 50+ fish is likely to cause an issue, haha.
