Nice build! I really like the stand.
0 tds!
I used to use resin till output was 7tds or so. But given that this is the “family” tank, my dad pays for resin. So I can swap resin canisters when I read 1 LOL. Also, I am using prepackaged DI in canisters for $14 rather than the BRS stuff for $12. Makes life so much easier. No DI pellets everywhere....
Crazy how small that 40g trash can looks! I’m tempted to get a 100g trash can. Since cost of salt isn’t on me, bigger water changes would just improve the water quality more . Or perhaps stress sticks.
@bubbaque if you didn’t have to pay for salt, would you do larger ~30% water changes? Fritz RPM, so alk matches. The amount of time is the same since I would just use larger diameter tubing/bigger pump.
Nice build! I really like the stand.
I am a fan of water changes and I wish I could do larger than my 10% at a time. If money wasn’t an issue or space trying to mix up so much water at a time I’d probably try the 30% and see how things react.
Thanks for the tag, I’ll be following along!
What are your par readings with the t5+radions? / what are you running radions at?
I love the stand and canopy, looks great. How is everything going now?
Hello sir! Everything is going really well here. The acropora from @Battlecorals are all coloring up really well, and I am continuing to add fish slowly. There has been some ich when I introduce fish, but I am following @Paul B 's advice and just feeding really nutritious food. The spots are all gone currently, so im pretty happy with that.
I added a maricultured colony that was FULL of Acro crabs. The local fish store was unpacking them and I was able to pick out 7-8 crabs from the bags.
Here is the colony
And its hitchhiker:
I also added some more fish:
