Changed GFO and carbon, cleaned up biopellet reactor and finally installed my dosing pump. Been messing around with parameters all day!

Emptied the skimmer overflow, cleaned the skimmer cup and neck, including scraping coraline (ugh).

Refilled calcium reactor.

One day, I think I'd really like to switch to dosing alk & Ca. Not only is the reactor hard to adjust, but as the media level decreases, and channeling increases, alk and Ca values decrease along with pH. I do like dissolving coral skeleton, as it just seems so logical.

Maybe I just need a larger, better reactor and fine control valve. [emoji3]

I sat here looking at pictures of mine and used FaceTime with the wife to stare at my corals... At least you get to see yours, Jeff! :)

Rearranged some rock today; cleaned a frag rack and plugs of zoas I had neglected, and mounted some more loose frags off my sand bed. Tidying up. [emoji6]

What made you switch to hard plumbing?
Just a cleaner install, and those flex tubes I was having to replace them every couple of months they just became a total eye sore. Im actually right now building a new sump and will be redoing the entire plumbing... so that was a practice run lol.
