I am adding reef energy A&B once a week also, the night before I do a WC, I take out the filter socks, turn off the skimmer and let it circulate for a good 10-12 hours.
Poseidon willing, tonight when I do my WC the test will tell me what my eyes are seeing.
I noticed this morning that I had to increase the flow into my dual reactor which tells me it is time to wash some pads and I might as well change the carbon and GFO out.
Also, I do realize my fish bio-load is quite high, but what is a reef without fish. I believe tank maturity and primarily good husbandry habits, will allow me to accomplish this.
Only dead fish go with the flow....
