Andrew's Red Sea Reefer 250

A while back, my Kamoer doser started leaking and dumped kalk all over my controller cabinet (yay). The tubing inside the head unit had ruptured and started to leak. This may have actually been my fault, because when I replaced the tubing last time, the OD seemed slightly larger than the old tubing. I'm guessing this put more pressure on the tubing causing it to fail after just a few months. When that happened I moved the Kalk to an empty channel on my Red Sea doser. This wasn't ideal, this unit isn't designed to dose large quantities so frequently.

Today I fixed the Kamoer and replaced all of the tubing in the Red Sea. I've had the same tubing in the Red Sea unit for years now and figure it's time to replace to avoid failure.

I found what I think is the right size for the Kamoer (2mm ID x 4mm OD):

I bought 4x replacement tubing from Red Sea, to make sure the size is right:

Recalibrated both units. Hopefully no more leaks...

I've also recently noticed some heads of frogspawn losing color. I'm trying to target feed them to see if they recover:

Tank Update
  • The hammer was getting pretty big and growing into the glass, so I had to prune it. I was able to rehome a bunch of pieces through DBTC and LFS trade in. Clowns are mad at me.
  • Added a really cool splatter frammer from @Krustykrab (thx again!)
  • Added an indo gold torch from CFM. Also picked up a mushroom cage (from @Srt4eric ?) at the BAR table. Didn't know I needed this!
  • Kermit the Frog acro started to RTN on one branch. I cut it off, hoping it won't return. Other Acros seem to be doing well, so not sure what is going on. Maybe it's time for an ICP test?
  • Fragged some zoas to share (Utter Chaos, Fire and Ice, Mandarin)

Added a seeded Polyp Lab block from @Invictus to diversify the microbiome. Hopefully I can eventually collect one from each of the donors. I sandwiched it in between some fresh blocks. You can also see my sump is covered in white fan worms:

Added some new coral from CFM. Tried a couple things to improve my picture taking quality (iPhone 15 + orange filter): 1. Turned all flow off and 2. put the frags on a clean frag rack right up on the front glass. I think this helped.
