Slow and steady wins the race!
It will eventually be ran through a Dillon 650
Sweet! I have a lifetime supply of ss109 so I don’t “police” my 556 brass anymore but my local indoor range gets all bent out of shape when I use it

Of course I have room for 1 more fish!
I have always slow dripped my urchins for an hour and have yet to lose one.
Same with crabs
Hermits and snails I just throw in FWIW.

I’ll drip these two. The last one I had only floated and released. Thanks for the tip.

Toothbrush and siphoning into a filter bag have really helped. I’m finding my reef

Thanks!
I left the T5’s on too long today. I need to get a timer for them... tank is at 83° ;Facepalm It’s usually 78-79.
Hopefully no issues will follow.

Left the canopy and sump doors open to allow more ventilation through the night and we are back at 78.5°.
Of course getting rid of GHA has started to bloom some Cyano. I’ll be blowing it off the rocks and stirring sand in my continuous efforts. Eventually I will find the equilibrium again
I also realized I have some major salt creep to clean up! Any tips on cleaning it from controllers?

I filled the tank June 2018, haven’t done a single water change and don’t plan on it.
I just dosed my first supplements ever to the water. I didn’t even test it first, I’ll check it tomorrow or Wednesday to see where it’s at and use their chart from there. I’m going to use Aquavitro Calcium and 8.4 for Alk. I should probably order their Ions, which is magnesium. I don’t have a test kit for it though.
I also dosed some Vibrant due to the bubble algae I found under the GHA. Wasn’t going to use it but figured it may give me a little help.

I used to use 8.4 by AquaVitro and fuel for aminos.
It's nice to just dump some 8.4 in and watch the pH come right back up in a day.

Tomorrow I will receive a Lawnmower Blenny (hopefully in better shape), a Royal Gramma, and 5 Red Stoplight Cardinalfish.
Also a JF Burning Banana Stylo and Green Cyphastrea.
