DIY refugium. It is too cramped on the back side of the sump so I couldn’t use it for refugium. I might transfer the sump to the back and use the front portion as refugium as intended. We will see. The chaeto has been growing well so far using the DIY refugium.

Hello!

Awesome work!

I want to buy a new ATO for my Red Sea 250, any ideea how big should be , so it can last at least 2 weeks ?

Thanks!

So my 5 gallons ATO reservoir last almost 1 week before I need to refill. You maybe need at least 10 gallons or more capacity. I think the rate of evaporation depends on where you live, house climate, and etc.

Following along. Awesome progress
Thank you:)

@Infern0 actually when you're referring to an ATO (automatic top off) you're talking about the electronic device that includes the water level sensors and the electronic switch that turns on and off the pump that replaces evaporated water usually in a sump but also a display tank if there is no sump. An ATO reservoir is the vessel holding water for the functioning of the ATO device. The single constituent of the water solution in the reservoir being purified freshwater.

I tested the water today and my nitrate and phosphate are at 0. I am using Salifert Nitrate and Hanna ULR phosphorus test kit. I feed three times at least per day and just did 10% WC yesterday.

I don’t know if my filtration is too efficient or what but I don’t understand why both of them are at 0.

I am going to turn on my refugium light every other day instead of everyday. We will see

@canadianeh corals are looking great!! How about an update and an FTS?
Hey man! How are things with you? I am starting to dose Alk to bring it to 8. I can’t stop buying corals LOL. I am worried that I am addicted to it.

Here is FTS I took seconds ago. All of my fish happened to be at the front and centre for picture time :)
