Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Morning everyone. Should I do Seachem Denitrify products in my Tidal 110? After practice I'm gonna do a 5 gallon water change. This weekend I will be doing a rock scrub. Fluanzacole arrived today as well.
Tidal has too much flow for that to be effective Cam.
Needs less than 50 gph to de nitrate, more than that it'll just add to your biological filter a bit.
 
I think I just crashed my reef.

I was filling the ATO chamber and forgot about it. Sump over full, salinity at 1.020 :(

My salt won’t be here for awhile, absolutely no funds, no shops within distance if I HAD funds and no way to get there if I did have the rest of the stuff. Sigh.

Reading online the fish will be ok, as long as they’re healthy. ATO and skimmer shut off and I’m just going to leave it to fate.

I can’t believe I did that 😵‍💫
Got a petco nearby?
I can order you a bucket and you can go pick it up Bev!

I can have it sent to your house?
 
Here’s the last of the lights before dark. The stylo stands out pretty good. Need something bright in the back right corner. Was thinking a chalice there.

A chalice would look great there. If I had the space id have a space invader pectinia.

That is a bright coral.

I’m not sure. I’m definitely not messing with it more than the dry cycle on the air con so we will see in a few days when the level gets right. It’s just I cannot believe I did this lol. Thankfully it didn’t overflow. If I had to guess it’s about 5 gallons of fresh. The salinity was already low (1.022) so I guess it’s not a drastic drop from that. Still both are way too low :(
I've done this Bev more than once.
You'll be fine just ride it out.
My petco is at 1.018 so I've always had to acclimate for ever, which I hate cuz I'm a drop and plop kind of guy.
I run at 1.030 most of the time.
I think that might be what happened to my first batch of nudis????
This second batch I over acclimated just in case.
Oh I'm rambling...
If you need salt let me know and I'll send some your way pronto!

Hey Joel!!
 
I should have added to one of the posts that the most likely losses from a rapid salinity swing is your inverts.
Yes snails,crabs, shrimp in particular.
