What are you using one from early 2000's or late 90's? Maybe you need an upgrade!

I wish that was the case. The Revs site doesn’t play well with Apple. Probably too much money.

My parameters are stable, got my phosphate up a bit which is good. Corals are growing and looking nice.

Love that stand.

How are you liking the UNS tank?

The stand is a work of art, I love it. The tank is decent. The sponge filter keeps getting clogged so I have to manually clean it out every week with the water change, other than that it’s pretty good. I think with a media basket it could be great. I also need better fittings for the return to split the flow. The random flow generator won’t stay attached so I need a fix for that or something that will split the flow. I did buy a 1/2 inch locline Y fitting but it doesn’t fit the UNS fitting that goes through the AIO chamber.

Clarity and quality are amazing though, I would recommend this tank to others. I just need InTank or a 3D printer person to help with a basket! I tried to reach out to UNS for the exact inner dimensions but they didn’t respond to my email.

UNS should get in the peninsula game with a 15 or 20 gallon.

Just got back from visiting family in Phoenix. Everything is still alive and growing! Woo!

I added a really nice small tenuis colony I got for an amazing deal. Couldn’t pass it up. Blue base, yellow corallites, green polyps. Looks like it has some major potential to turn out great once it settles in. Still no filter so you can’t see much color

$25! No pests! Very happy and excited about my new coral

I still feel it was in the wrong section at the LFS and priced incorrectly

. It got it yesterday, it’s had polyp extension all day and is looking super happy! Yay!

I’ve been eye-balling dosing the past few weeks, asking for trouble. Surprisingly enough sitting at 9.6, 460 and 1380!! 1.026.
Pretty much my target range!

I switched from kalk to AFR about a month ago, my coral look amazing. Also, have you used the aquarium cam app?

What’s AFR? No cameras here. Just my green astigmatism laden eyes.

DonTavo27 · Mar 31, 2023

All for reef. The aquarium cam works from your phone. It comes with an orange filter feature, makes the slight difference needed to get better color in your pictures.

By the way, check out my build thread starting from page 12, that’s if you’re interested in giveaways.

Ah nice. Using b-ionic 3 part like I used to. I’ve heard good things about TM AFR though. I’m down to give it a shot.

Dude… sorry to see the recent posts about the car. I thought it was newish. Motor issues from you romping it around?

BTW - did you ever set up your grow tent again?

Hope your tank is still running great! I have a UNS 60U And stand that I’m thinking about using as an upgrade from my IM 14g nano, but by the time I buy the things needed to make it work, I think I might as well just an a UNS 60A tank for 200 bucks. Did you ever sort out a media rack for the AIO chamber?
