00W's AIO Smorgasbord

I might should have sent with the bigger beaker but I guess I can always just mix two batches of need be when I get an idea of how much I will need to actually dose daily to get my levels where I need them. Seems like I read once you mix it you can store it for 30 days.

I picked up the one gallon for mixing saltwater for phyto and pods, I do my AFR in half gal batches

That 1 gal beaker set me back $40, I did order this set to start with, biggest one is 1000 ml

Posted an update to my 125 build thread. Can you guys check out my mini scolys and see if you think they are dying or just still adjusting to my tank?

The 2nd from last one doesn't look too happy, looks like it's showing skeleton? What does placement look like? Flow/light wise.

They were flat on the sand bed until a few minutes ago now they are a few inches up of the sand and are at an angle instead of flat. They also aren't fully awake yet as I just manually turned the lights on to place them but I don't think there is much difference in the way they look after lights are on for a while.

I guess let's see how they adjust to the new placement. I'm not familiar with scolys but if they're anything like other meat corals they fluff up in low light, and next to no flow. Even like my lobo once I moved it under a ledge it's fluffed up like a marshmallow.

@kevgib67 this might be helpful for you. I can't remember how many gallons your new tank is but this is what Google gave me for dosing 125 gallons. My plan is to mix a liter or maybe 2 at a time in a water picture that we don't use and then pour the daily dose into an old AB+ cup that I have since it measures in ml.

I was also using the liquid for a while, until I was sure I wanted to switch to it. I mixed my first batch of powder a few days ago. I used a cheap 1 liter beaker I bought through Walmart, added 900 ml of RODI, and stirred in six of the included measuring cups of powder. Then I topped of the RODI to make it one liter, I needed just a spot more water. Two things to note: 1.- break up any hard lumps, they don't dissolve very well and don't tamp down the measuring cup to make it level, just use a flat edge to level it. 2 - it takes a while to dissolve I ran mine on a cheap stirring plate for about twenty minutes to fully dissolve it.

Seems to take a lot of stirring to mix it well so I'm going to order these. I mixed 10 minutes with an electric wisk then 10 minutes by hand with a big spoon before it was somewhat clear like it said it should be in a video I watched.

Amanda, those are the exact same ones I bought (only I bought them through Walmart as I dislike Amazon intensely). They worked the treat.

Good morning everyone!
