A lid would definently help. It’s just the insides have raw metal in them and lots of moisture near them causes rust and premature failure. It not being full all the time definitely helps as well.

Well that makes me feel better :) ya it’s only full every 2 weeks and that’s maybe 2 days. It was the only area I had. Hope it doesn’t mess it up tho, I’m here for about 5 more years .

Another question-

So I put my tunze ATO in my return section. It’s working great until I hit the feed mode. The tunze goes beeeeeeeepppppppp for 15min. Well that won’t fly lol. What are my options? Vs turning it off every time I feed down the road?

So right now I have a 200w heater with a 150w just for back up. You think just having 1 200w is to small? Tank heat has been fine for the past 2 weeks just don’t know if the heater is always running lol.

Here's the heater I put into my tank. Price is right and the reliability is crazy good. Finnex 500 wt and the Finnex controller. I like having separate controller that's not in the tank where it can short or stick on and cook my fish. Has audible alarm. High & low alarm. The readout on mine is off by 3 degrees. It says the tank is 81 when it really is 78. But the temp is rock steady - never more than one degree low.

It’s just too big to fit in my sump the only place that would fit is my overflow in the corner but I’ve never seen anyone put a heater there . I have two 200 W neo thermal because of the size.

I check my parameters :

Salt- 1.25
Temp - 78
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrates 0
Calc 420
Phos 0
Alk 7.3
PH 8.2

Everything seems to be doing well for the first 2 weeks! I have had fish in the tank for 3 days and they are eating / swimming. I ave had snails in the tank for a week and crabs for 1 1/2 week, no loss of life. Skimmer is pulling out green stuff.

Happy Reefing!

Got my first corals!

I dipped them in the Baeyer solution, it was scary but after following these directions, it worked well. Easy and worked. I stopped a brissel worm that I can see, debris at the bottom. Here is the site: https://boroaquatics.com/blogs/articles/17033867-proper-dipping-of-corals-the-bayer-method

I got 4 frags:
Red meteor shower, green metallic meteor shower, Jedi Mind tricks, and candy cane.

It also has 3 hermits I added lol! My fire fish are doing good, it’s been a week. They are still getting along ;)

I got some pods but they were dead and AB is sending out new ones!

Thanks for reading! Happy Reefing

Got my new clowns, day 2 and doing well. He said they are black ice or phantoms. I guess I’ll find out in time, I hope black ice. :)

Anyone have a guess?
