Salifert vs Hanna
So I started a 28g saltwater nano in late March. I’ve been testing my water weekly and everything is stable but slowly working on better levels in calcium, magnesium alkalinity and phosphate. I solely was using salifert as my testing kit until this week. Every week my phosphate has read zero. I mean, I have the skimmer off. I have sun coral so I’m feeding with reefroids every night and overfeeding to increase my phosphate. Yet, this week is still 0. In anticipation of the reading I ordered a Hanna testing kit for phosphate because I can’t believe it’s still at zero after all this time. First Hanna reading was 0.25 (eek) Second Hanna reading was 0.35 (eek even worse) Turned the skimmer on and went to Aquarium Arts their Hanna read 0.79 (🫪) Around 8pm checked with Hanna again after checking expiration dates (nothing expired) and it read 0.16. Wondering if anyone else has had experience with phosphate not showing at all with salifert?

Salifert is a phenomenal line of test kits but the phosphate one doesn’t show ultra low levels that well. I do like the ultra low range phosphate Hanna checker but usually use salifert for every other parameter. Anything under 1ppm and the salifert kit can be very difficult to accurately use.
Enough overflow
Hey yall, I just got a new 200ga tank. It currently set up with dual corner bulkhead strainers. And a center intake. I’m assuming I should change the strainers out for overflows. Will x2 Fiji cube 800gph overflow boxes be enough?

You can plumb the drains directly to the sump. I would suggest either a dc return pump or putting ball valves or gate valves on the drain lines so that way you can tune the flow rate through the sump. I would also suggest a check valve on your return pump to minimize back siphoning into the sump.
Just Restocked the coral clearance tank
Over 20 new colonies added into the 25% off tank just in time for the weekend.
