Alk and calcium in a good spot too. Locking it in for awhile.

Trace dosing couple times a week and phyto with feedings. Aminos with trace.

This post has been reported to Admin for inappropriate content. Your numbers are to low, you are starving your coral and i think its awful that you torture sea creatures for enjoyment. Kidding of course, good job on the correction. i am still testing much higher than id like to, but everything seems happy enough. I did the soda ash in my ATO it is helping to hold alk where it needs to be, calcium is still very low

Admin hah

Get your doser going on that calcium chloride brotha.

Just Incase....

need to get the hydros wave engine v2 so i can free up an electrical plug for the doser. on the list for some day

Chaoti was sold. But they can get me one in from a reputable spot they've had good success.

Might do a multi fish addition if they can source specific fish.

So I walked out with some reef feast frozen as a treat

Well... Made the same mistake twice thought it was a fluke.

Filter socks clogging = overfill sump = kalkwasser pH spike sorta cloudy + snails releasing cloudy **** = extra cloudy

Not as bad as pictured, but euphyllias are loving it. Very puffed up.

Acros fine. Little slimy at lights out yesterday, makes sense.


Salinity low 1.023, back to 1.024 already little bit more.

@Troylee has some experience with kalk overload too.

Pshhh that’s nothing lol I got a high score on my ph of 9.4! No problems or issues by letting it just do its thang! My alk dropped from 10 to 4.5 and I just brought it back up over 4-5 days.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Yeah , doesnt seem to do much, corals look happier than ever tbh

That was my second one in 2 months lol… first one was just as bad! 25 gallons of fresh kalk and top off dumped! Even dumped on my floors ugh… No more optical sensor top offs for me! I threw it away and got a tunze with manual float shut off. This was my first one… I lost a return pump that froze from precipitation but no live stock..

Holy.... Luckily.... mine will only dump like 20 gallons max and my sump can accommodate it

I have the Tunze osmolator with both sensors the float caught it

This was the second time for me as well. no overflow on ground.... but ive been there done that.

The first one overflowed my skimate locker and that’s what leaked all over the floor! I fixed that problem and the second one stayed contained in my sump it can hold the volume also! With the new top off I’m hoping it never happens again! I can honestly say I’ve never had that problem in 20 years cause I always ran a jbj top off with an aqua lifter pump but they’ve been discontinued so I tried the latest greatest! Big mistake lol! Stupid aqua auto top offs!

Thats whats on my fresh ato bin, eek , best it can do is leak down to the floor drain below it though

Photosynthetic flat worms pop growing too fast.

Need to nuke them back some...until I get more predators .

Have prazi pro. Gonna pull this colony and test first. Since it's a basic colony and has been healthy for awhile.

 

[Nate Chalk]

And yeah the mouths arent blue. Those are the worms
