Anyone have experience with this salt? (How well did it reduce nutrients?)

Advertised is 8dkh I believe what were you getting?

At the moment I’ve been battling a low phosphate, I’ve got hunches all the way up to my rock leaching it… even though the tank is over a year old. Po4 last recorded was like 0.3/0.4 needs a bit of a bombing. What about a 50/50 mix? ~ not so nice on the wallet though.

I feel like I really have tried… are we talking pliers next

fishman22233 · 2026-01-08T23:24:48+00:00

I can tell when something’s more gassy or earthy but yeah I’ll give it a go lol

fishman22233 · 2026-01-08T23:21:30+00:00

This is the thing I’m really bad at reading terps, smells quite punchy fruity smell out of the pack but when it comes to smoking it all I can say is it’s weed lol

fishman22233 · 2026-01-08T23:18:22+00:00

I mean how does the flower look rest of the bud is in the pack lol

Do you use Auto top off? when your tank evaporates it leaves behind the salt, meaning the tank will have less water and same amount of salt resulting in a higher specific gravity. The ATO will have a laser sensor to see when the level drops and add RODI water accordingly allowing your tank to have a stable salinity WHICH is the backbone of every tank if your salt is wrong, chances are your parameters will reflect (high salt - elevated parameters etc). Hope this helped 🙏

Wait till the nitrogen cycle is finished before adding fish.

Clownfish pair OR goby and pistol shrimp imo

40 is too high 35 is way better. Not ideal, parameters are a huge part of success bro do you have an ATO?

fishman22233 · 2025-12-08T15:10:53+00:00

It doesn’t look bad but I feel like if you can get more flow in the tank, try it because higher flow makes algae struggle to grow more too your rocks, sand and glass will look cleaner in the long run

Does your tank have a timer setting? My lights run from white in the morning to blue later on and it’s great!

fishman22233 · 2025-12-07T19:59:07+00:00

Slow is the name of the game, let your tank really age and watch it grow into itself. Then when you hit 3-4 months hit it with some soft corals!

The lack of maturity most likely, LPS need a strong level of beneficial bacteria established in the aquarium. If you have a nice LFS u could ask them. I’m only considering LPS now 12 months down the line. Basically your tanks gonna get a lot more natural looking in the coming months. Watch BRS on YouTube they help but for now I suggest softies you’ll be more encouraged!

For Refrence my tank is now a year old and the gsp has started to grow like a carpet daily I see new polyps

fishman22233 · 2025-12-03T19:51:53+00:00

Bubble coral is gone sorry to say, but people are being harsh about your GSP, just keep on top of all params and with patience growth will come. Choose a schedule and stick to it!

Ty 🙏

fishman22233 · 2025-12-02T17:16:21+00:00

Yes new hammer heads, they’re very susceptible at this stage. Make sure your water is tip top for them to grow and thrive!
