Lots of talk lately about Phosphates and other nutrients in our tanks, algae problems, cyano, etc. So, let's start a thread to outline what each of us does for nutrient export, I'll go first ...

The system is a 700g capacity system, probably ~500g operational capacity

- RO/DI - Try to flush & keep filters changed to maintain < 0-5 TDS
- 50g Fefugium with a DSB (8") and some LR - every imaginable variety of macro algae. Prune 1-2 gallons of Macro 2-3x/month
- Turboflotor 5000 skimmer with RedSea 200 Ozone generator, ORP runs between 290-325. Clean the skimmer cup 2-3 times/week
- All tanks (3) have a DSB of 6-8"
- About 800lbs of live rock in the tanks
- All tanks drain to a single sump system. Drains through 4 spray bars over a 1.5'x2' piece of filter floss. I change the filter floss 1-2 times per week
- Wet/Dry filter with about 15g of BioBalls
- Run carbon 24x7
- Recently added PhosBan reactor, but easing into this slowly
- Lots of hermits and snails
- Tangs to cleanup any algae that might get started in the tanks
- Water turnover: SPS 30x, LPS 20x, Clams 15x - only 5x of this is through the sump
- 100g water change once every two weeks
- Now and then clean settled ditritus from sumps - no noticable ditritus build up in tanks

Ammonia, Nitrite, & Nitrate are allways zero.

I am currently battling a little cyano on the sand bed, only other algae growth is inside the overflows.

Who's next?
