24/7

What do you run 24/7 for your reef tank?

Name everything from pumps to refugium lighting to carbon to whatever it may be! Afterward I’ll create a poll!

Let’s see your list!

Return pump
InkBird

Things I run 24/7 that aren't mechanical
Filter floss
Carbon
Biomedia

Everything else goes off at some point, whether it be for the night or just during feeding, and my house is usually warm enough (definitely during the summer) to give my heater a break.
