It’s going ok. No, not quite full yet.Full yet ??...how's it going down there?...
I have been looking at the price of fish lately and I can’t see how people can afford the prices nowadays. I might have just a soft coral tank with plastic fish. LOL!

Livestock is stupid expensive. I am glad I at least I had some corals stocked up and grown out a little - some a lot. A large school of damsels is looking pretty good. Ha!

I was playing around with my display last night and I changed the parameters displayed to two of the Trident test results instead of the not-so-important salinity and ORP. It now displays calcium and alkalinity, along with the temp and pH. I didn’t realize I could do that. Blame it on old-timer’s disease.
The display is mounted on the side of the stand, about 12” from my recliner. Now I don’t even have to open up Fusion on my phone to see my important parameters. Like today I see my alkalinity needs attention.
NOTE: I haven’t calibrated the Trident yet.

Sweet. I use an old iPad mounted to the wall to see all the basic stuff. I have the display somewhere, but not sure where lol.I was playing around with my display last night and I changed the parameters displayed to two of the Trident test results instead of the not-so-important salinity and ORP.

I have a Gen3 iPad on the shelf behind the tank. It’s so slow though I can’t really use it. It is also slow to update readings. I guess a lot happened to the iPad in the last seven generations.
I think mine is an iPad Air 4 or something. It does update via WiFi, so there is a delay even with it being the generation before whatever is out now lol. Work buys us a new one every year and we get to keep the old ones, so may as well use it for something.I have a Gen3 iPad on the shelf behind the tank. It’s so slow though I can’t really use it.

If you get a new one every year, then you would likely have an 8 or 9. Mine is a 3 and I can’t even update it anymore.

Hard to believe, but there is finally a fish in the tank! I moved this clown from Pirate’s Reef into the big tank. He has grown quite a bit and he didn’t need to be in 7 gallons of water anymore. In retrospect, I suppose it really didn’t matter, because it never moved from the left side of the tank - never. He is exploring his new home though.

I have been dosing AFR but also dosing a little kalk at night to keep the pH up. I am using an Avast Marine Kalk Reactor and a separate Kamoer feed pump, drawing water from my ATO reservoir.
The Tunze ATO gets turned off during night time while the Kalk is added. Using two separate pumps, I am not constantly adding Kalk with top off water. So far, so good.

You always run on the warm side?

Well, I used to run halides on my last couple of tanks, so this one is actually on the cool side.
That is just what I have the heater set on. I have been thinking of cutting it back a little. I just haven’t done it yet.
