It has been over a month now since I added the three Fish. They are still alive and seem healthy. I have lost 5 of the snails now. All are the margarita snails. I guess those are not for my tank. All others seem fine. I still have some diatoms popping up. The nitrates are still high. They have been at around 30 for weeks. They don't seem to budge. The phosphate reading has gone down to a reading of 0 for weeks now. I would guess it is being used up as fast as it is added. Not much else to tell I haven't added anything else to the tank since the last update. I did lower the light level to a max of 40% for whites and 30% blue. I did up the auto water change to about 2 1/2 cups three times a day. A little cyano has shown up in the refugium.
