Started to move stuff around today so pictures are a mostly ticked corals. Its also with my daytime schedule on.
Its hard to place things on the sand bed because either my pistol will bury it or the other side has rock nems lol

Oh, picked up 2 small bubble tips from a local reefer who was giving them away. My wife really wanted them, just dont want them to take over my tank. So far, they've stayed where i put them

Careful with those nems. In my previous tank I started with one the size of a quarter and ended up with 17 monsters. If they start to split get em out quick

IM SR 80s Unite!

Was able to dose redsea b last night. Raised my alk from 6.0 to 7.0. Tonight I will dose again to raise it to 8.0

I was going to say this was a rather large increase in one day, especially in two days. I would try to limit it to 0.5 max per day if even that.

Thenative told me about the badge so I put it on yesterday, hah.
I haven't been too diligent on updating my thread which is most likely why you never saw it lol

Yeah, I'm now dosing via hydros dosing pump for the last 2 months I think. Its at a steady 9 now.

Do you know how much its set to dose per day. I know you may split it up but I was curious! :D

Nice tank build! Really liked watching it grow and develop. I had a few questions, how did you attach your automatic feeder to the lid? Is there a special attachment for the type of that you have? I have the same automatic feeder, trying to figure out how to attach it to my IM 50 AIO.

Also, how did you set up your UPS to your to your hydros system? Which one did you end up buying?

10mL split into 5 doses between 8pm and 8am.

What lid do you have? I have a kraken lid that fits the feeder.

I'm really just using the UPS as a surge protector. Ill have to check what I have hooked up to it
I have the kraken hooked up to a battery that will run my pumps and a few other things.

Following along! I currently have the IM AIO SR Pro 2 60g and would love to upgrade to the SR PRO 80g. I'll NEED LOTS of convincing with my spouse! (smile)

I went from an IM 30L to the 80g. I wasn't even looking to get the 80, was looking at the 75 INT... but really liked the 80 in person. My wife really liked the 80 as well. I took the display model so I didnt have to build the stand LOL.

I do kinda wish I went with 100g INT. My dumb self shoved the 80g in a corner that I can barely work in the back lol.

Wifey didn't want all the plumbing that came along with the INT. So AIO it was. Although 100g doesn't sound that bad either. Keep up the good work!

Just got the SR 80G today. Built the stand and it was a bit complicated but a 4 foot tank opens up so many more fish options!
