Hello All,
I'm from NC , recently move to a newer home with my freshwater tank (65gal). Restarted it to be saltwater once we moved into our new house. Three months later (January 2022) after getting fish (clown fish) the bottom of the 65 gal bottom seals failed. 35 gals was on the hardwood floor in my office (yes had to redo my floors). I moved the fish to a 15gal Rubbermaid plastic container and started over again with 50.3 AIO Waterbox. (six weeks later) Fish did survive...

Just starting to getting coral.

Current setup:

• 50.3 AIO Waterbox + stand
• Apex system adv.
• Apex ATO w\5Gallon Trigger system tank
• Apex Wav
• Apex Sky light
• Apex Dose x1
• Since Syncra SDC 3.0
• Since wav DC 2250GPH
• Tunze Skimmer 9004 DC
  • C02 reactor (helps my with PH)
• 200w hello PTC Smart Heater
• Using "RedSea Coral pro Salt"
• Top Lids Custom top
• inTank inserts x2 black
• Backup Heater - Eheim Heater E150

Only issues I have is my PH still dipping down to 7.5 from 7.9. I am getting to stay right now to 7.89 - 8.07

Pictures soon.

If you setup a refugium or already have one setup make the lights on ur refugium be on opposite when the lights on ur tank are turned on so that the algae in the refugium is using photosynthesis during the night while ur tank is dark instead of oxygen in the water. it will help stabilize your ph out a bit more aswell as reduce water changes you are doing due to nitrates (think freshwater planted tanks and how little you need to water change them due to nitrates same concept but of course you need to water change more with saltwater) ph tends to stabilize the longer the tank has been setup from what I’ve read
