The clownfish seems to be moving about more as the lights went on and my tang leaves him/her alone. And i do take things slow AL ive had these levels since right after that post, the salinity is the same as the tank that the clown came from.
DOOD! You got the water parameters under control for a DAY but what about other factors... what about potential "Die Off" from other things that you can't see? Honestly if I have any type of "incident" my tank goes into LOCK DOWN for no less than 2- 4 weeks. You just never know what one "incident" will snowball into other incidents.

We all have to learn somehow... you're is just looking like the expensive way bro

Live Rock Rubble will do the SAME thing as Bio-Balls and is NOT a suitable replacement for BIO-BALLS in a Reef System! It's ALL gotta go!!

Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change.
Allen's home-made formula...currentNO3-((%WC*.01)currentNO3)=finalNO3 (thanks Luukosian)
This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!
