Red face LindaLu

I am relatively new to the salt water reef/fish tank scene. I've had a 300 gallon tank for almost 3 years. Several successes with fish and corals, but some losses too, mostly with the corals. I have a tendency to overfeed my fish and cause too much nitrate in the tank. Am trying to control my feeding habits to help corals survive...

Re: LindaLu

Hello and WELCOME to the Reef! Sorry to hear about your losses but it sounds like you know why and now HOW to keep that from happening.

300 gallon sounds SWEET! Can we see PICS? PWETTY PWESE!!!


PS Do you happen to run a skimmer?

What type of filtration are you running? Heavy skimming can HELP with over feeding...
