Tank readings 8/11/2012 temp 77 sal 1.023 ammonia 0 nitrites 0 nitrates 0 phos 0 kh 8 {143.2} ph 8.0 to 8.1 cal 380. Bought chetos for the sump same light as lfs was useing to grow theirs. I noticed it was not doing well so I took out my poly filter for phos. then a few days later brought I new bulb 75watt 1250 lumens. I have coralin alge growing nice on a rock in the sump with the chetos but it keeps going down hll. I also see I am getting green alage{not the good stuff} on my glass in my display tank. Lights are on display tank about ten hours a day and the sump light is off 4 to 6 hours a day. My sump is new a month old now.
Red sea max 130, 20 gallon sump. Not sure what else you would want to know. Have pods and ghost shrimp in my sump.
