Just curious what's the total estimated wattage of everything you use (heater, pumps, lights, etc.)?

Just a thought, maybe your lighting issue is a contributing factor to your higher nutrients? Less light than normal = less photosynthesis/corals as nutrient export?

Maybe your low return pump turnover is not getting the fish poop and particulate to the skimmer in time and it's just decomposing in the display area before it can get skimmed out? Could explain the wet skim with high nutrients?

You assume correctly, my wallet wishes you were incorrect.

Trying to keep your water temperature stable :p

Newest additions, no buying corals for a while lol. Defugium's Morning Star from CFM 5/24/25: Defugium's Rosie Cheeks from CFM 5/24/25: Chonk TSA Fruity Pebbles from @derek_SR 5/24/25: RRC OG Avengers from Vivid's Aquarium 7/3/25: BK Chem Creme de la Creme from TCK 7/11/25: WWC...

Can you post a video of the skimmer from the side so we can see the bubble size and height? Like from this angle:

Can you post a screenshot or upload the file? The link just takes me to a login screen for Fauna Marin Lab.

I got a big chonk of meteor shower cyphastrea if anyone wants to try it.

Beautiful fish, nice photos too!

How are you acclimating and for how long usually?

Interesting, I'm sure your abundance of available nutrients helps being in high PAR :p That's something I have to think about, do I have enough nutrients and flow for more light?

I was just wondering what everyone's timing is when acclimating corals to new light, more specifically when adding lights/increasing PAR. I'm sure it depends on how big the lighting change is, but what's a general guideline, a couple weeks?

I love when people bring other expertise that can be used in the hobby like pottery, photography, plumbing, 3-d printing (I just realized that's a lot of p's) and more, very cool of you!

I've heard there have been much less Japanese tourists in Hawaii due to how weak then yen is.
