Frag tank to Mini Reef

Ok, I see... I was just checking since NH3 / NH4 was also listed separately -- wasn't sure if one test result / which test result was replicated or if NO4 was a typo for something else you tested.
 
I hope this works out for you, Greg, but I fear that PO4 levels of 0.5 ppm are going to fuel a serious algal bloom. Hopefully, you can keep on top of it, and try to lower the PO4 levels with some water changes using RO/DI water to mix with your salt.

Not only that, but studies have shown that phosphate concentrations above .02 ppm drastically reduce calcification in corals.

:nilly: Time to spring for that test kit!
 
I learned something new last night. I had never heard of it before nor had I read about it. I happened in and turned on the moon lights on the hood and saw the Tomato Clown laying on its side in the back corner. I thought "Oh oh, he's dead." So I turned on the T5's to get a better look. He stirred and started swimming around, then I noticed he/she had dug out a dish shaped nest, so I turned the lights out and gave it a little time. Under the moon lights I watched him/her move back to the nest and in no time, back on it's side at the bottom of the dished out sand bed.

Well, I just had to try to get a photo but every time I turned on lights to get the picture, the Clown would swim off, so I took a chance and took the photo in the dark. It came out fuzzy but I think you can see what I'm talking about.

I thought I would show my latest addition to my nano reef. The Tang has been in there about a week and eats like there's no tomorrow. The Wrasse is doing very well too. A little shy yet but getting there. The Tomato Clown still dishes out a bed at night and sleeps on he side.

Aren't those the ones that usually starve to death in captivity because they pretty much eliminate all life in the sand bed?
