Hmmm.........i really haven't had evaporation. The water level has stayed the same.

You will. Just know that salt in the water doesn't evaporate so when you top off just use rodi, don't add salt to it.

For water changes you add salt to match your tanks salinity.

You have got it you just don’t see it .if you’ve got lights on your tank it’s evaporating ... but you should be checking your salinity every day .. well I do .. I have a 360 ltr system and I’m adding 4-5 liters a day with my ATO..too keep my salinity at 1.026 or 35ppt

I like this one a lot. How is the streaming? Is it choppy? In doing some searching I came across ip webcam and can use it using an old phone as the camera and Ivideon app to view with. It worked pretty good at home and I will be setting it up today, the only con I see with it is it’s choppy. The pro is it’s free and easy to setup and use.

It’s great I love it !! You can zoom in , take photos and videos with it .. I can even talk with my girlfriend with it .. the fish eye lens is great .. I’m always watching my tank when I’m at work or away .. I can highly recommend it !! Here’s a photo I just took with it for you !

Very cool! Love it. I will def look into it. It’s not pricey at all.

 

[Cheryl’B]

I will do when I get to work tomorrow.

Thanks for the welcome

Here’s my 13g evo. They LOVE the LRS reef frenzy food. I was worried about scooter but he took to it right away. I know it’s bare, trying to go slow. The empty shells are because I had fighting hermits, which fight no more as the bully changed shells.

Welcome to R2R - excited for your journey!

 

[ourcoralreef]

Welcome
Yes a cheap amazon webcam
Nest cams are the next step just can’t justify the expense (i rather buy another coral)

I’m picking up some LRS reef frenzy today, and looking into some pods as well. I want my blenny to be a happy fish. If I do things right I want to get a mandarin sometime in the future.

Feeding is my concern with the blenny. I will do all I can.

Highly recommend Algae Barn https://www.algaebarn.com for pods and phytoplankton to feed the pods. Cheers!

I’d probably get that rock that has all that bubble algae out. It will cover your rocks or get an emerald crab to help eat it and get rid of it before it spreads...

 

[Segalplayer]

I’m also noticing some Aiptasia on your right rock, id kill that before it spreads (nuisance)

Keep it out or kill the algae and put it back in?

I’ve been working on it with joes juice. Stuff works pretty good. I do a few at a time.

Okay great! It spread in my old 60 quick before I inspect and dip, now I try to take as little of the rock as possible by chiseling down and making sure I dip in coral rx. As far as the bubble algae I would try to remove the algae from the rock if you wanted to keep that rock, if not since we have nanos (I have a 10gallon) we can pretty easily replace a smaller rock. I would replace it with another piece of that purple rock in the left of your pictures and save a headache of it spreading to al the rock

Can I move the mushrooms to another rock? And if so how do I do that? Sorry to be so coral illiterate.
