Prattys nano reef

[That Crusso Kid]

Below are build threads from other reefers that live in Australia that I also follow. Maybe strike up a convo with them. Just a suggestion.

And this thread is from a reefer in Melbourne. However, I do not know if it is Melbourne, AU.

Have you happened to check the "Groups" list for Aussie reefers? If not, check it out and see if there is a group. If there isn't a group then maybe create one.

Cannot express the importance of calibrating your salinity checkers periodically. Yesterday i checked my salinity and it was at 39ppm i frwaked out and did a quick jug of ro water to drop the levels. Then realised i hadnt calibrated my hanna checker recently. I had dropped my salinity to 32ppm. Im going to slowly raise it through evaporation over the next few days hoping i didnt kill any of my corals.

That's another one of those things that, unless I schedule it regularly, in my reefing calendar with a reminder, I forget about. I know a lot of reefers do too.

Hope nothing is affected too badly.

Anyway you can post what your light settings are at? I have the RedSea Nano G2 XL with the redsea 50 on it .. just curious what you have your whites and blues at.. Tank looks great! My wife and her sister go over to Melbourne to go visit their cousin and go "surfing" every once in awhile lol but the kids just body board.. Ain't barely any surf over here in Naples, unless the regular mega yacht comes through lol

It's easy to get the two mixed up as Melbourne, FL is named after Melbourne, Australia. Kind of like how where you live is named after a city in one of my favorite countries.

Yeah there’s quite a few places like that. Salem, Oregon is even a New England styled city due to the settlers that came from here and wanted to look like home.

I keep considering a Tuxedo urchin. I always talk myself out of it though.
