Welcome Daniel! Lots of Reefi fans here, and that daisy chain comment made me curious too, since I am running out of plugs, and adding two additional Reefis is currently on hold because of these logistics.

Welcome to our club. Being able to manage a 10-gallon tank is an achievement. Hope yours rebounds. There should be plenty of nice-looking easy to care corals at our frag swap in June.

If any of your fish is thin, that will just prove how difficult they are, given how much you feed :). I always thought the Moorish idols are difficult, but reading this, the CBB does really not seem to be a good idea to own.

Welcome Jacob. Great that you found us. In-person events are the best.

So after several months on and off this topic, I feel have everything I need to purchase an ozone setup. However, at the 11th hour, I came across a comment from someeone who advised to not put biomedia after the skimmer with the ozone, as it will destroy beneficial bacteria. Now I do not have...

Some basic feeding question. Feeding dry food for a month should be ok, but how about feeding seaweed? How are folks handling this for the tangs?

I wonder if there is some interest in a tank buddy arrangement during the summer vacation to watch each other's tanks. We moved to California two years ago and now know a few people who could watch our two tanks. However, none of them know about reef tanks, and I am not sure how useful having...

One month is brave. I am already concerned about our upcoming trip to Europe in June for two weeks (which will be a separate post), but one month is long. Seems like you have things covered with automation and cameras. The more time-consuming thing could be to write down how things work in...

Missed the CFM today which bugged me, wanted some NPS, but I had to get some tank maintenance done. Biggest achievement for me was to deep clean the skimmer for the first time since I bought it about five months or so ago. I procrastinated this as I was concerned I would not be able to put it...

Only the temp sensor of the ATO I hope. First I heard of problems with this ATO, which I also bought vs the Tunze. I am not looking at the temp from this much but I really hope the water level sensors will not have issues… Which doser had the issue? Great looking tank!

Here we go, Violet again….

Not sure why many corals do better on urchins :). Also, @JustinBolton acros have been doing quite well in the nano tank. Did not know the one had two colors. Will move them to the main tank soon. This tank in general has a great pod and amphipod population since there are no fish in there to eat...

Still many mysteries in this hobby for me, one of it some of you call sump kung fu. I have seen the water level continously rise in my sump, above the desired level for the skimmer (7.9 to 8.7 inch). I only realised today that this was due to a blockage caused by the growing cheato. I have...

This was one of the remaining hitchhikers from the Tampa Bay live rock. I moved it to the nano (quarantine) tank where it grew into a monster and killed some of the quarantined snails along the way, so had to action on it, and giving it to the mantis was a win win, not for the crab though :).

What's the benefit of the beefier power supply?
