Chapter 2: 50g Lowboy LPS

My op and WD were pretty much stalled and I decided to cut them to see if it would spark any growth

Thanks man. Tanks so full. I sold a bunch of zoas but they keep filling up...I guess that’s a good thing.
I’m going to have to start a Chapter 3 thread for a second sps only frag tank
 
Well, I'm planning for a 4-day holiday and ordered a Jebao DP-4 dosing pump for the frag tank.
My alk consumption is a bit all over but I think about 10ml per day covers it.

I bought the 4 channel doser because it was cheaper than the 2 or 3 (oddly).
I like the placement of my tanks but they're too far apart to use the same doser.

Another interesting point is that my phosphates have zero'd out in both tanks...which I'm not sure why. GSP and dendros were first to react, ie close up.
I've usually spot feed a combo of reefroids & goniopower but have been broadcast feeding the last couple of days.
 
Acros I’ll see if I can remember the names without looking at my spreadsheet

My little IM nano skimmer died and I replaced it with a Bubble Magus C3+ which is much larger.
The day after I installed it - my glow stick acro “colony” RTN’d. I think it just striped the nitrates too fast.

In this hobby, we are all addicted. Can a protein skimmer strip nitrates quickly? I’d just like to know if that’s something that is impacting me as well.
 
Im honestly not sure but that was my best guess.
The tank ran without a skimmer for about a week and the nitrates went up to about 20ish.
Once I got the new skimmer running, the acro rtn’d the next morning.

My Aussie torches are going through something weird but other than that Everything else *looks* ok.
