Run some carbon temporarily? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

An open 1” pipe can gravity drain 960gph. With your sicce running against head pressure from your sump up to your DT, there’s no way it’s pumping more than that. You sure there’s not an obstruction in the pipe? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If your ATO is kicking in and increasing the volume of system to the point of overflow, that’s another possibility. But for that much added ATO volume, you should notice a significant salinity shift. Also a very important issue to figure out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The main focus should be on why the “drains couldn’t keep up.” An oversized return pump is not going to suddenly overflow a tank in the middle of the day after running fine for days or even hours. Once a system is in equilibrium, volume into the tank, goes down into the sump in equal amounts...

If you gave up the tanks, you could probably have another 2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Some sharp coral cutters and frag glue should do the trick! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats mike! This is your second? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The main concern that you have is wasting di media changing the media out at this point, right? I would suggest adding a second di canister at the end of your system, and installing an inline tds meter between the two. Whenever the tds between the two cartridges goes up above zero (or one or...

At the moment, you’re not really dosing enough for it to matter. But for theoretically larger volumes, answer the question of whether you would prefer your alk to swing or your pH to swing. I would prefer alk to be stable and let my pH do what it wants. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Artfully acrylic lids are actually not made of acrylic. They are made of polycarbonate specifically because of the warping/water absorption issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe you use it with a smaller pump to run a reactor manifold. Keep the main return, a dedicated return. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How did the calcium get so high to begin with? Not your carx, so is the salt mix to blame? Can high calcium cause your acropora to stn? So many questions... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I find it interesting that a monti eating nudibranch can munch away an entire field of montis but won’t touch an acropora and just starve and die out. Doesn’t seem like much of a stretch for evolutionary adaptation to be less discriminating in its diet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You don’t think it’s the high calcium in the 600s? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dived off Roatan, Honduras for a week. One of the best weeks of my life. Two dives a day. Sleeping, drinking and eating the rest of the time... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you’re not seeing spots, it may not be ich. Clowns are susceptible to brook as well. Look up humblefish’s posts on R2R for details on what to look for and how to treat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup. The mysterious highs and lows of reefing. I take comfort in the fact that every day my tank doesn’t crash is another day closer to that elusive “mature” reef tank stage! Where everything grows and nothing else seems to matter! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve got one Liz. I’ll send you pm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
