Nice looking tank! That skimmer is gonna take some gunk out of that little tank.... make sure your trident is running for a week before setting up the auto dosing!

There is a compartment for one but no algae in it. I feel like the tank is too new with not much NO3 or PO4. I would like to use a marine pure brick in there just to add more surface area for bacteria. And that chamber isn't that large.
True. That skimmer probably strips it all out. The fuge running at night would help combat the swing. Do you have your returns rippling the surface? I’ve also heard fans help too

I do have the return rippling the surface. I got spoiled by California water. Lol it was hard water in California but S. Carolina has soft water. That is what I really attribute this minor issue to. If you can even call it an issue. I know many reefers don't even know their pH or care to know at that matter.
Yup, I live in Florida and my water is always above 8. I monitor it with my apex probe but don’t really care to test it as it’s always above 8...

Good luck with the flame angel. My buddy put a flame angel in his 350 gallon tank. Within a week, it ate thousands of $ in acans. He couldn’t get it out so it’s a now a sps dominant tank LOL

I’ve heard they aren’t huge fans of new additions after they’ve already been in the tank awhile. I don’t know how true that is though. I don’t have one

Did some water testing today.
Alk 9.1ppm
Ca 448ppm
Mg 1428ppm
NO3 16ppm
PO4 0.06

My alk is higher than normal. It has been around 8.5. Guess it's time to cut off CO2 to the CaRX and let it fall a little. Anyone know a good way to program the Apex to control the reactor with a trident?
Are you Using the auto dosing?
