Very interesting that this is the case. My ‘first memory‘ of becoming very much fascinated and interested in a reef tank was a display tank in a public aquarium in either Singapore or Switzerland several years ago - cannot remember exactly where - which was dedicated to Pterapogon kaudeni only...

Curious if anyone has some thoughts around adding a couple of blackstorms to a tank with a six line wrasse in it?

Time for condolences, I lost a frag. This post was automatically created by BARcode

Will need to talk to you more about this when I return. Mynaource water is approximately 27 TDS.

This is the order of the setup: Stage 6-8 is in the order you stated. My screenshot above was misleading, good catch. I am aware that the mixed bed should come at the end.

Need some training on this, but a quick question: I am using this type of resin setup. This is how the resins look like. It appears that a color change to amber means it needs to be replaced. The way I interpet this now is that one needs to be replaced, the other two are still ok?

Never measured this exactly, but wanted to do it now. Any thoughts about the amount of dry food that comes out daily - 4 feedings / 1:30 minutes per feeding? This amount seen is 6 minutes running the plank feeder. Edit: Added list of fish (excluding the yellow tang :() Edit 2: This is a mix...

Yes, my tank is very camera-friendly, I do not need filters really. They are all Eufy, 2k on the side and sump, 4k dual lense for the front.

Webcam views for the main tank (edit: Eufy 2k/4k, no filter). Edit: Added another side view camera (Panasonic HomeHawk, 1080p). This side will get algae quickly, but hopefully the camera blocks out a lot of outside light so I can still see inside the tank for a while.

My coral frag tank 28 gallon has one six line wrasse, and nutrients are constantly all over the place, specifically nitrate are always rather low, as @MarcosD already mentioned. A good balance between fish and corals seems to be preferable.

Skimmer water level sensor installed and tested. Works great - skimmer stops immediately when sensor is wet and restarts again when sensor is dry.

15,000 ml highly diluted alkalinity solution (+traces), which should last approximately 25 days, and a 5 gallon skimmate container, and a 5,000 ml CA (+traces) container. Perfect fit, but no room for anything else now. Dosing setup is now vacation ready.

This is my single biggest concern at the moment. A significant shift in alkalinity consumption while I am gone.

New sump lights for this tank (and the nano tank). Sometimes solutions are so simple if you know them. Only concern was if they were to come off and fall into the water, but the way there are positioned, this should not happen. Also, temperature went above 80F today, despite the...

I bought a different model but this was a super helpful reference in your journal. Thank you.
