Thanks for spending to the time and making this video! Definitely should stop by your store more often.

Added a new Aquascape - removed some rock - and moved substrate to the sump. Results: PH Drop: slowly recovering. N04 and P03: Not much change which was surprising. Alkalinity: Consumption dropped by half. PH Chart for the week of adding a new aquascape.

My PSI is currently 60-65, should I get a booster?

My 3155 died this weekend and I think the issue could be the pump. I have ordered a new one and hope that it will arrive soon. Manually adding water sucks! I am lazy to troubleshoot. If anyone wants it let me know.

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

Thanks for this post! I never knew UNS made Reef tanks. Looking at their R systems online, I am truly shocked by their level of integration and modern look. Definitely will be on my shortlist list for the next tank build :-).

My first chamber is the refugium and probably the most practical place for corals. Can the drains (primary, emergency) be modified for directional flow instead of straight down?

I use BB as well, it grows pretty fast. Started as a baseball and grew to a volleyball size. Made the mistake of removing half of it at one time, and nutrients spiked. I hate throwing these away since they are so nice looking. My tank is only 40g so can't house a tang, what other fish would eat it?

Possibly this weekend, but will confirm tonight. :) Are you getting something else from him as well?

Are you sticking with macroalgae?

Besides oxygenation and pH stability, there are likely more benefits I haven't discovered yet. Macroalgae play a role in many successful tanks, and I prefer to follow proven methods. On that note, I also run a protein skimmer!

Both! I want to be in the habit of dosing P and N because of Dinos. For the past couple of weeks, dosing increased from 2ML a day to 4ML a day because P was reading at 0. It was consistently .03 to .05 for the past 3 months. The biggest change was shifting from AFR to Kalk, which crease PH, ALK...

Thanks! I look into DOC. I also worry about corals not being as efficient as macroalgae, but the current system is using more p/n than my normal feeding.

Has anyone completely removed their Macro Algae and replaced them with easy-to-grow corals in the sump? If you have, what are the positives/negatives? Possible thoughts on positives/negatives Positives: At the end of the day the preference is to grow Coral vs Macro Algae. Less strain on...

This is pretty cool!
