Yep

Still doing monthly water changes. However ammonium bicarbonate dosing is helping keep nitrogen up. Almost no effect on pH at night though! Probably since they have gills and respire more than corals. I should do an ICP or something to check if anything else is depleting.

Clams still don't care it's ugly down there, but the brown one sure likes to move around:

Seems pretty focused in the center. Which tank is this?

I kept my two separate and have a drinking water reservoir for the one we use in the kitchen and spigot. No booster on that one and no resin, just a pre filter, RO membrane, and double carbon blocks. Reef system is 7 stage with dual membranes and the booster, only used manually when I open the...

Funny how the blasto just doesn't care below

Chalice beats Pocillopora?

Love it, got the data and the video! That copperband looks pretty excited for the food too.

Tank is looking amazing. Have you been feeding actively?

The cleanest I've used was the BRS ROX carbon, but you really have to contain it well since they're like candy sprinkles and get loose easily. They're definitely marked up way too much, so if anyone has an equivalent source let me know.

Thanks for doing that! I worked hard to have a near silent tank so hearing this thing loudly go off 5x a day would drive me nuts. Where do you have the output/food going? Also curious how many watts it pulls (figure it draws a lot more if it's in a hot cabinet).

How loud is it in operation vs. idle? I only saw one video but couldn't tell because it was on a convention floor.

Salinity: Veegee refractometer double checked occasionally with a Tropic Marin hydrometer pH: online double junction probe Alk: Hanna or Salifert if I'm looking for speed Ca, Mg, K: Salifert for speed PO4, NO3: Hanna (only way to get accurate readings)

If anything you would want to control humidity right by having good ventilation right? Like how Ben was talking about that nightmare tank he worked on that had zero hood ventilation and had lots of corrosion and wood breakdown. This will increase your evap so keep that in mind. Probably will...

I've used it for 25+ years, no issue. Just don't use the box that's been soaking up your fridge funk.

This your 200g CDA? Curious to see what kind of lighting and flow you've got in there. Custom rock structures?

I can do clean up and coral check in

Thanks for showing the budget on how you can set something up for a pretty low price!

Meckley did fenben flakes to kill his right? Along with every other polychaete and snail in his systems.
