I have one of these as well. Started 2 weeks ago. Great tank! Awesome dimensions. Only complaints I have is the water level in the display is lower than it really needs/should be. Tank only holds about 25ish gallons of water, so not quite 30.

Loving the scape. Keep it up!
What has been your favorite piece of equipment on the tank so far?

I cant help but think that this would get a lot more traffic in the members aquarium section or the AIO section.

Thanks! I am not dosing right now but plan to shortly.

Hmm... that’s tough. I love the tank and shape of it... but for equipment I would have to go with the Smart ATO. It is small, reliable and does a great job.

How do you move it?

A mod can do it for you. We just need to tag one. I'm on mobile right now so I can't see who's online though.

Added a new friend today. Added a Diamond Goby to the tank. He has already begun making a home and as they always do, moving everything around.

Yes he is. Created many tunnels and been moving a ton of sand around. Neat to see how they create their environment

I was gone from the tank for a week and came back to my montis not looking good. Bleaching out and fading fast. I quickly did a water test to see what was going on. Below are the results
Ammonia - 0 ppm
Nitrites - 0 ppm
Nitrates - 15 ppm
Phosphates 0.06 ppm
PH - 8.1
Salinity - 1.025
Alkalinity - 4.64 dkh
Calcium - 464 ppm
Magnesium- 1600 ppm
Obviously the alkalinity is the main issue here.
My Kalkwasser is not enough to keep up with the demands. I quickly did a 30% water change and brought the Alkalinity up to 7.43 Dkh. Happy to see this back up now. I figured that a quick swing in Alk to get it into range is less traumatic than letting it slowly rise and be in the 4-5 range. Time will tell.
I am going to stop using the Kalkwasser for now and will start dosing The Red Sea Reef Foundation alkalinity tomorrow to get it around 8.5. Once at this range I will do daily Alk tests to see how much it depletes each day. Once I get an average I can zero in on the dosing.

Good job keeping up on the alk. Toughest part of the hobby IME. Part of the reason I moved towards soft corals lol.

So far everything looks like it may be coloring up a little. Hopefully this will continue to improve. The montis are the only thing that was affected.
The Yuma also decided to have two babies this week. They are small and hopefully will survive.
