Coffee Guy's UNS R75 Build

[Kokanuty]

Very nice. I love watching the UNS builds.

Also here are some updates on the tank. Finally got my nitrates and phosphates where I like them with a little help from carbon dosing. I'm also currently dosing 7ml of AFR and will be starting the triton myte subscription in September to hopefully ignite growth to all the frag sticks I currently have.

Also added a new Quanta Helix light bar that I proceeded to paint white because had to have it match with everything else.

Also shoutout to @skey44 and @Battlecorals for the stick restock after I killed my first batch of sticks.

Corals are looking happy! Did you find the light bar pretty easy to retrofit onto the Dalua light rack?

Did you ever get your dosing containers sorted out?

Wasn't too hard. Had to modify a little, the bracket that came with the quanta to work with the dalua mount.

Oh yeah I use the chihiros dosing container since it fits perfectly the bottom section.

Anyone have any pointers for dealing with sea lettuce. I've tried the injecting hydrogen peroxide method but doesn't seem to completely kill it and pulling it during water changes is a huge pain because I can only pull small pieces off at a time. Any piece that's on a frag plug I am able to dip and that does help but it's mainly the pieces that are on my rocks.

Man your dosing and electronics are so sorted!
I would try an emerald crab for the ulva.

I'm a sucker for well organized electronics. I'll give an emerald crab a try, do you think a pithos would be a better option?

The pithos eat algae great especially for heavy infestations, but in my experience have been a bit clumsy to get high on rock work with shorter lifespans. Not wrong to pick one or the other here. They both should work for the ulva. The pithos are fascinating.

What model tunze refugium light do you have? I could have sworn they were longer than the sump section

It's the eco chic refuge light. It fits if you have it extend into the hole that's between the fuge chamber and the return chamber. Causes a little bit of algae growth on the ato float but I make it a habit to clean it off when I harvest my chaeto.
