    Glass rod to hold down the ro line is a great tip!

    Yeah that makes sense Lee I'd do that too I just feel the price point is a bit silly for the NP, no problem giving you or Parker's reef a shout, was a good watch.

    Love the tank… and I’m very jealous 😂. Can I ask where are you dosing the lanthanum chloride…. Skimmer neck?

      Thanks, I dose into my overflow box so it goes into my filter fleece then on to my skimmer. My drain is about 3m long so it has plenty of contact time.

    I agree with you about the price point of the Trident NP makes no sense for the NP to be priced the same as the Trident when it’s just testing for two parameters. I personally use the ABC reagents with good results. Approximately how fish do you have in your tank?

      Thanks for watching, I like apex stuff I just find this one hard to understand other than being a bit greedy. My fish stocking is about 40, counting the anthias is difficult 😑

    I have a couple questions when you added your first fish to your aquarium how many fish did you put in and how long did you wait to do your first water change? My aquarium is 750 gallons 2839 liters my aquarium dimensions are 130x34.5x40H

      Hi Justin, I added two tangs, a Gem and a Mustard as my first fish, I had only 6 radions over the tank at that time so lighting was low I didn't run a skimmer at first as I didn't have one, I did water changes weekly just small 100l to 150l ones as all the rock and cement were new so leeched a bit of phosphate. I added the second lot of fish probably a month later then slowly increased the amount of water changed until I got to 300 litres. I took a full year to add all the lights over the tank.
