thanks ,its a bit bare at the moment , but the basics are all running smoothly . had trouble with phosphates 100 through the mains supply 50 through the ro unit changed filters still 30 coming through . reducing in the tank now, ( using pura phoslock) bit of hair algae there but I quite like it as long as it does not get out of hand .

caulerpa, it just loves nitrates, and phosphates , doing such a good job the tank peaked out at 15 ppm in amonia and nitrites nill reading after 5 weeks on them 10pmm on nitrates ,did a 25 % water change and added the fish this tank has only been set up for eight weeks and I introduced the smaller fish a fortnight ago, all readings spot on but will monitor daily .
