Ray, the pics were great! And so was the tank! awesome and crystal clear water! Just curious, are you still doing the big frequent WC? I just hate doing WC even for my nano, so i am planning to start cutting down on it even more . Btw, i have started my nano 25g rimless tank thread. I would be delighted if you would check it out when you have time. Keep reefing!

Thanks! I’ve slowed on water changes. I’m happy with slow and easy changes doing about 20 gal every 10 days. In the end I hope to have some great macros in the fuge taking care of business so water changes can be less frequent to maintain the probiotics and trace elements.
Your build thread looks great love the diy work you have done!

Thanks! It’s been rough cpl months but getting back in swing.
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for checking my thread. Please share your thoughts and suggestions on different aspects. I wish to learn more and hopefully build up enough confidence and knowledge for my next upgrade （ maybe a 55g long) . Before that need to really get this one blooming and looking awesome in order to persuade my wife .
I have a quick question for you regarding ICP test. I remember reading somewhere that you have sent a sample for ICP but I couldn’t find the result anywhere in the post (maybe i missed it). How did that go? Anything insightful coming out of the ICP test? I am asking because i was thinking of doing a test to see how close my parameters are to the natural sea water level. But if it is not very meaningful then i would rather spend money on corals. . Btw, just added this golden (or yellow) hammer frag to my tank last night
Take care and keep reefing !

Will get one going. I bought a cheapie on sale next try will probably go with a Triton test as it gives pretty cool info and advice from what others have said

I stick with Triton since I run Triton but really wish they’d test source water too. Talking to someone yesterday thats been waiting on ATI and they’re currently taking 14 days to obtain results. Triton has been 7 days my last two tests.
ATI sounds good. I like the idea of testing the RO source as well, you never know... i don't mind the wait and i can order it and get it shipped to me overseas via amazon. but i need to check what is their policy on international shipping. Thx for sharing caveman . Keep reefing !

Shout out to @vetteguy53081 if ya guys remember about a month go bought a used apex jr that was busted in shipping Tony found an apex classic lite he sent to replace it. I am tech challenged in some ways I find (thought I was pretty good took programming in college) had trouble wiping prev owner and getting it on my fusion but got it locked in now. Pretty cool getting a text from it in alerts. Need to get wireless hooked up and calibrate probes and move what I can to it’s outlets. Need a few more outlets just have the eb8 I bought and looking at a cpl modules fir icecap gyres the vim when I can upgrade lights next year.

Ray check out the ATI ones, I haven’t done one in a long time but I like that they give a RODI water test as well, for a few bucks cheaper.

Yeah John I think that’s what I’m gonna roll with. Never considered rodi but after my tds meter failure debacle will be some peace of mind. Hoping to be doing some coral shoppin from you in cpl months once I’m sure tank is locked down
