Good product in a good system be careful with it

As someone who has invested heavily in coral I finally turned to the Red Sea system when I just couldn't figure out why my Pelvis was not as healthy as it should be. I knew I was dealing with something unseen that was affecting the health of my aquarium and between testing and adding to the system (between reef base, algae management, reef coloring and reef nutrition) I have been very happy with the results. The iron is completely depleted in my system because I have quite a large kerf that's soaking it up. Iron deficiency makes it difficult to remove nitrates and phosphates (biologically) from the water, poisoning your system when levels get too high. In any case, the hardware gets four stars instead of five, because you need good basic knowledge to operate it. I think there should be a bit more information in the guide as it is very important that your sanctuary has a dark time when using this product. This product contains negligible amounts of copper (which sounds terrible to tank enthusiasts, but read on). This copper is in small enough amounts not to poison your inverters, but between the fine print and the research, it's the deciding factor you need. know that when they take in oxygen and give off CO2, it serves respiration, i.e. the dark cycle of photosynthetic organisms. This means that if you're not doing water changes (which you don't really need for a full line if you're testing and supplementing) you could potentially reach toxicity levels over time if you're using your crevice lights 24 hours a day. 7. Just a word of caution. Overall, my system was so content with having enough iron that the benefits outweighed the risks. I see huge, healthy macroalgae growth and improved coral growth. A thing or two doesn't suit you, but my advice is: change the settings more slowly than Red Sea recommends, and you'll get better at it.
