As many of you remember my last post.

My whole system crash 6 months ago, "long story." Anyways finaly got the time and money to restart it back up.
I'm still new to REEF so still looking for a lot of help here on the forum.
So in the water testing I still don't know much about it. NO2, NO3, NO4, PO4, ALK, Cal- all of this I know just what number it should be in, but getting it to be the number it should be is a question mark for me....

This is the the test I got after a month of cycle.
Alk - 9.1 dKH
Cal - 470ppm
NO2 - 0 ppm (Ammonia)
NO3 - 5 ppm (Nitrates)
NO4 - 0 mg/L (Nitrites)
PO4 - 0.50 ppm (Phosphate) This is always up and down. How do you maintan it to be under 0.50ppm
ph - 8.13
Mg - 1200 ppm (Magnesium)
Salinity - 1.025

1 month from cycle. Artwork time. Redone the rocks. Rocks is just setting on top, no glue or any kind of support.

Thanks, I have a cover on top the tank. No fish will jump out. The only fish going to the pan is the one didn't make it tank.lol:lol:
I'll have some picture of the sump and plumbing up soon.
I'm still in need for a refugium. I think am going to build one soon.
