Bonus entry build thread update.

So I got home from work today and my tank was sitting at 78.6. So I added 4 bottles of 8.45 FL OZ Bio Spira. I also calibrated my Apex salinity and PH probes. Prior to calibration my salinity probe was pretty spot on with my Hanna Salinity probe. Now it’s almost 3.0 PPT off. So that just happened. Need to do some research on that I guess. Well that’s it for now I’ll probably through in some shrimp or something tomorrow

Weekend maintenance. Every weekend I dedicate 1 to 2 hours to my tank. This is when I do my bigger weekly water change. I change 25 gallons of water out of my tank. It's getting a little colder these months so I have to make sure that the water is the same temperature going in as it was coming out.

Build Thread - A return to the hobby build (Reefer 170)

After being away from the hobby for a few years I've decided I've been away long enough and found a spot in the house for a small mixed reef tank. The footprint I'm looking for is something in the 24"x20"x20". I want a setup with a sump and some flexibility in terms of what can be added below...

AIO Build - IM 25: Mini Acro Graden

This is my third attempt at reefing. The first attempt (June 2020) was a 10g petco tank with a hob filter. It was doing alright for a couple of months, and then I decided to upgrade to a 29g tank and converted the 10g to a sump. I learned an important lesson: do not reuse sand, only kick up sand...

Nano Build - Mango's First IM10G

Long time lurker, first time poster and first time reef keeper. I've kept FW aquariums (monster fish, planted tanks, dwarf shrimp, etc.) for 10+ years, but this is my first attempt at a SW aquarium. Safe to say.. I'm hooked. The tank was filled on June 6th, 2020, so it's about to hit the 5 month...

Bonus entry updated build thread.

So today still waiting for cycle to complete. I learned how to use the Hanna testers I purchased. Still waiting for nitrate and copper testers to come. For some reason my salinity has increased. At the beginning of the week I mixed it to 34.5 ppt and has creeped up to 37.3. Thought running ato would actually drop by salinity. Also don’t know if I trust my api test kit for ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite with everything bad that is said about them, but they are reading all 0ppm. I have two more days on jumbo shrimp, so I will retest those again tomorrow. I added a picture below of my journal in regards to test results

Here's my build.

Bonus entry build thread update.

So this morning I decided to some stand maintenance. Two of my hinges on one of the doors was getting loose. So I took off the door I put some wood glue in the holes installed wooden golf ball spike and hammered off.
I also was having issues with my return plumbing. Ever since I installed the plumbing for my UV and media reactor I was hearing a gush of water into my sump every 20 seconds or so. I routed the plumbing up and over the return conduit. I should of gotten some before and after pictures. But, instead I got some midstream and after pictures lol. So once I routed the ancillary plumbing under the return conduit the noise is gone. Yeah
