280 Gallon Amazing Reef Aquarium
A story of perseverance...Four years ago customer who knew nothing about reef keeping walked into Vivid Aquariums to ask about an aquarium setup. He wanted to build it right the first time. Vivid Aquariums installed it & coached him through the process of starting the aquarium. He watched many of our videos. He came into the store often. He asked LOTS of questions. He had many bumps in the road & often joked with Dave about wanting to get rid of the aquarium when things weren't going well but...
He didn't give up! He kept learning and progressing as a hobbyist. Here is what he created. Vivid Aquariums is so proud of him!

    I've used this product and it does a great job reducing the phosphates, but I found that it reduces it to where I want and then I take it out. How do I measure it out to leave it in the system so phosphate levels remain stable instead of dropping them and removing the mixture? I'm worried about it keep dropping lower than where I want it to go.
