What’s going on with the skimmer line, you have it in a bottle?
As you might have noticed, I’ve already been lurking around the forums here and felt like I should actually introduce myself.
I go by Crustaceon, crusty, “hey!”, or my actual name, Nathan. I’m a reefer out of San Diego who’s been at it for the last eight years. I started with softie tanks, moved on to lps and in the last two years have gradually been moving into the sps game.
My current setup is mostly DIY except for the 100 gallon tank itself. (Note the enormous eheim heater VERY temporarily in the display, lol)

Mg Idunno? I should test it more often but everytime I do it’s at or slightly above 1400ppm
