Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I turned it and it seemed to slow it down slightly. I’ll keep an eye and see if that changes thanks a bunch.
Gate valves move really slowly so turn some more keep us posted.
 
Awesome thanks guys.
Introduce yourself in the meet and greet forum.
When you're ready start a build thread so we can all keep up with you.
Remember. Always ask questions.
We're all here to help you.
 
Amazing.
Dose or just water changes?
I have to dose to keep my calcium and magnesium up. My torches, frogspawn and hammers seem to thrive with magnesium and calcium at those levels. Wish I didn’t have to though.

Yeah I hear you.
What salt?
 
Yeah it might be a good idea to get a bigger heater for the 2 tanks.
You could connect the heaters to the INKBIRD and it will turn them on and off for you!
You run the inkbird temp sensor in your sump or tank?

I have it in my sump. Temp is the same in both my sump and DT.

You could totally put it in you DT if you want.

Fritz Rpm, mixes magnesium at 1350, I tested a fresh batch and it was 1350.
 
I hope you don’t mind me asking a question on here.

I have a pigmy Angelfish that acts completely normal and looks normal. When he poops he poops out these long strings of poop. Is that normal?

Thanks.
My sump is higher than the tank but tanks by this freezing cold window so maybe that's part of my problem.
I just put the temp probe in the tank and dunked the little heater into the sump.
Crossing my fingers I'll keep you updated.
What a dummy!
 
I hope you don’t mind me asking a question on here.

I have a pigmy Angelfish that actually completely normal and looks normal. When he poops he poops out these long strings of poop. Is that normal?
Questions is what we do.
