I know it's been so long since I since I have updated my tank but battling my newbie problems and posting was just too much but here is what has happened so far
Took me 2 months to cycle then instead of buying water every week I got a ro/di unit which saved me on gas and the price of water was not bad at all! Then I started to add corals and a small clean up crew but then I noticed my corals acting funny, my hammer and bubble corals were swelling up way too much so I had my phosphates checked at tropical reef and shocking they were at 1.03 ya I know we all freaked when I saw my results we figured it was due to my rocks so I continued with my weekly water change and invested in a phos reactor and in a week it dropped half, now I'm at .07 which took about a month so yes I'm very excited cause after almost a year I can finally start to stock up my tank!
