Thanks for reading!I just finished reading your entire thread. I had the sensation of going down a roller coaster when the damages were being discussed. I spent quite a bit of money on a waterbox and it was shipped today. I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Sheesh!!
I bought a Hanna Checker for that purpose; the easier it is to test, the more likely I am to do it. I’ve been testing every day since I put the first two frags in last week, and it’s been 9.1-9.0 dKH. I’m testing again this evening to get a gauge on how the recent additions have affected the water’s chemistry.I would slow down on the coral. The tank is still young. Even if u did run a marine pure block for 6 months, ur rock still needs to cycle and go thru the ugly stages. Moniter ur alkalinity like a hawk when u put a big surplus of sps frags in at once. You'll be surprised how quick ur parameters can swing out of balance. Unstable parameters will or can stn ur acros overnight. Just be cautious. I would reccomend starting out with a few tester coral before going all in on a young system.
That being said, I must say ur coral selection was very nice. Lot of nice sticks you got there.
Best of luck!
I just tested again and got 9.2 dKH. I’ll see what tomorrow brings!I love the alk hanna checker. It is so easy and convenient. It has an accuracy rating of +/-3.
When u test daily make sure it's at the same time too. That is the most accurate way to determine daily tank consumption.
A lot of green and red corals out there. so the more u can get outside that color spectrum the better! IMO [emoji16]
Keep up the great work documenting. Have a good night!
Thanks for the vote of confidence and for following along!Love taken this journey with you on this thread. Thank you so much for taken the time out to document it.
Again, great info and please keep the posts coming!
You are correct; I did not convert any plumbing that is inside of the overflow box. I converted only the plumbing that is inside of the stand.I have a newb question regarding the plumbing.
Your conversion from metric to standard was done on the pipes that came into your stand, not the pipes in the overflow. Am I correct?
Again, you are correct.Also the manifold, is this so you can connect other equipment to the return pipe?
Don't fret; just take your time and ask as many questions as it takes! This was my first plumbing application, and it included conversion from metric to US standard fittings. If I can do it, then so can you!I'll be falling down the "manifold" rabbit hole right after this as I know nothing about this. There is just so much equipment and information. It's borderline insanity!
Everything is doing well!how is the tank Nick?
