All For Reef Or All-For-Reef Mix?

It is not a m8xing nor evaporation issue.

Likely a bacteria build, over weekend I will checkout the BRS video ...

Wow, great setup!

Any details you share regarding the automated feeder?

What is the feeder, what setup you did, what food you use for the feeder?

Compare this frozen food feeder to pellet feeder?

I have 3 pellet feeder but do not use them coz of feer of over dumping and impact to water quality and fish due to nutrient dense pellets.

More details in my build thread. Short summary:

I run a mixture of Reef Nutrition liquid foods from a mini fridge below the tank into the tank a 4 different feed times during the day, programmed with a Reef Factory x3 doser (I'd spring for a DOS if redoing it).

Green tube takes food, then connects to a T barb. Pumps out about 2 mL at a time beyond the T barb into the blue tube. Then the middle doser kicks on and pumps 15 mL of RODI that pushes the food up the blue tube (and flushes it). There is no back-flush because the doser keeps the RODI from backing into the food tube.

Blue line goes up the back and across the AIO chambers into the tank. Cutout space for the tube to go through, attached by a magnet holder. I keep the tubing up really high above the water line so that tank water doesn't contaminate the tubing. I also have an autofeeder dropping pellets 3x per day.

The orange tube pumps AFR, half-concentration but double volume.

Reef Nutrition foods in parts: 1 part Oyster Feast, 3 parts ROE, 1 part Roti Feast, 2 parts Pac Pods, 2 parts Arcti Pods, 1 part Phyto Feast.

Stays in suspension pretty well, although the ROE starts to settle.

Super cool!

Do you feed the tank manually too? What and how often?

I also feed manually for the enjoyment of feeding fish and corals/nems. But I don't stress if I can't get around to feeding them manually. It is an office tank so I wanted this set up so they can eat regularly during the weekends and days out of office. I have a new fish in the tank so I am feeding manually more often to make sure she gets enough to eat.
