Last pic looks like a Paly , the dangerous type. I offered similar coral to the club before and someone pointed it out. Best to get rid of it ( with care not to expose to the toxin)

You don’t want gfo tumbling. Not sure about your specific reactor. If the flow is slow enough , it should be ok. Gfo is soft and will grind to dust. I mix gfo with carbon in a media bag and just leave it in a high flow area. Use 1 or 2 tablespoons. Start low and measure phosphate every week to...

GFO

When you’re brave enough to order online, I recommend shipping it to the nearest UPS/fedex center and pickup from there. The last miles always screwed me over .

I have good luck with Biota. Although they are usually tiny, but they are typically heathy, eating from day 1 and grow really fast. Fish from other source (besides biota/kenny) , I'll QT at least 2weeks to a month.

I would love to upgrade to a monster tank like this but it means I have to spend $$$ to reinforce the foundation. It’s a no go maybe forever.

It’s only day one. I pretty sure I’ll need a lot of trial and error for the next few weeks

It’s a hydros specific float sensor . $30 bucks . It’s easy to integrate to my existing hydros ecosystem. The water leak sensor is also from hydros. I program the filing pump to stop if either sensor is triggered. I’m filling and stir at the same time - 7am for 8mins . Kalk dosing starting...

Put this together . Will move this to inside the cabinet once I fine tuned the systems to ensure no accident , 2 level of failsafe 1. Float switch inside the chamber stop overfilling 2. Water leak sensor in the outside container in case water spill from the main chamber. Magnetic stirrer run...

Hydros support suggested flipping the float , and it works now.

Anyhow have successfully install a hydros float switch? I successfully install it, but regardless of the water level or the float position, it’s showing DRY. If i unplug the switch, it will show WET. What am I doing wrong? I contacted hydros for support. Hoping someone have experience that can...

Thanks. I’ll get the step bits.

I am making a DIY kalk stirrer. Need to make 2 holes on the top of an acrylic dosing reservoir. Attached is the container I want to drill ( on the top, next to existing hole) and the 2 drill bits. I’m sure the small drill bits will do a good job. Any idea if the large wood drill bits 5/8 inch...

I have Oregon Tort. Interested to trade for the local (cali) version.

Both multibar have been doing well. I don’t see them eat , but they have grown quite a bit. I have plank feeder feeding 4 times a day, mixture of small pellets, reef jerky and freeze dry mysis. Some chasing btw the of them but nothing serious. The clowns basically leave them alone. However they...

Wow!

Oh. That’s a good use model

Cool. I am curious, what’s the use model for hydros or other controller to control the light? I set my light (reefi and Kessil) schedule on their respective app/website and have not touch it since. What’s the need to link the light schedule to the controller? Dim the light when you feed?

I see. If mixing the kalk is the issue, I’ll see how my setup will work. I can control frequency and duration to run the magnetic stirrer. I would assume 10mins stir is plenty. My goal is to automatically mix a batch during the day for nighttime dosing. We will see. My fear now is the kalk...

What’s the PITA about reactor? Cleaning?
