I agree, with how that all works it would be very rare or never. Maybe in a specialty type unit, like maybe a wine cooler or something like that, but doubtful.
Very cool and its picking up some nice color!Magnifica Color and Zoox
The magnifica seems to be coloring up and picking up more zoox. The clowns are also seeming in love with their home. They never go more than 1” from it, even during feeding.

I had to go back and see if you posted a pic before you got it to verify, but it does look to be getting some of the green back to it.Magnifica Color and Zoox

Who needs all the reef keeping computers when you have a cup?One of my adult daughters is over and saw my way of recording the data above. She thought it was funny enough to post, so here it is. About half of today’s numbers can be seen. A single cup can take data from a few days of measurements, and doubles as a useful cup. lol
Everything looks great! I really cant believe how red that crab is it looks so cool!Today’s update
While I was away, the yellow leather and one of the Koji wada have disappeared down into the rock work and I can’t see them. They and the other Koji have been faring poorly. I’ll keep looking for them, but I wont take the rock work apart looking for them.
The elegance move a bit and I moved it back. I think a turbo or a crab must have bulldozed under it. It seems fine.
Everything else seems to be fine, with some picture updates below. The Red Sea fan that I thought was dead is not. Some polyps were out. The LTA anemone continues to grow. It’s probably about 6” across the disk if it were flat. For comparison, the magnifica is about a foot across the disk. Since it seems to be stretching up for the light every day, despite not climbing right to the rock island top, I’m going to be upping the light slowly.
Chemistry:
Salinity 33.7 ppt (sg 1.0254; down a bit)
Nitrate 5 ppm (down from 10)
Alk 7.9 dKH (down a little)
pH 8.17 at 9 am
To adjust some of these:
1. Ammonia dosing doubled (44 mL per day in 4 doses)
2. AFR (22 mL per day)
3. Removal dosing pump of AWC unplugged for a few days to raise salinity)
That she is!We call her Ruby!

What do the top numbers represent? Last two seem like pH (or alk?) and nitrate, respectively.One of my adult daughters is over and saw my way of recording the data above.

Thank you for breaking it down. How did you convert ppt to sg? I usually use a reef calculator and never even thought about the math for it. All I know is 35 ppt = 1.0264 sg
Pink skunks are really pretty. Why is it bad if the LTA and Magnifica anemones are too close?
Clowns clowning.
I like the various blue (Chrysiptera) damsels. I have several yellow tails. While damsels are aggressive, these seem to get along with other fish much better than the dominos. I also have a 3 stripe damsel. I like the energy level for the blues and stripes, always swimming, and the nips they give when my hand is in the tank are amusing.
