A while back, my Kamoer doser started leaking and dumped kalk all over my controller cabinet (yay). The tubing inside the head unit had ruptured and started to leak. This may have actually been my fault, because when I replaced the tubing last time, the OD seemed slightly larger than the old...

May Updates: The 3 hermit crabs all died (RIP). Maybe there wasn't enough food for them. Some stuff is surviving rather than thriving (purple favia, toadstool, candy cane). Still experimenting with N and P dosing. Trying fewer water changes while riding out the dino (?) wave. Tank pics:

The controller cabinet came out really well. I might have to steal this for my next build.

I’ll have to try this!

Haha, I’ve definitely done it with FW. I learned my lesson and only use this now:

Anyone ever tried LMNT? I’d imagine the taste is pretty similar to NSW. Fortunately, I’ve never accidentally siphoned water into my mouth to know for sure.

I had a Millepora do the same thing... about a week before the tank tour. All my other sps are growing and healthy. Couldn't figure out why it gave up, but the timing was funny.

Oh no, not the D-word :p. Hopefully I can manage if it's indeed dinos.

April Update: Overall things are good. I've noticed slow growth from zoas/mushrooms. LPS seem healthy, but I haven't noticed any significant growth. I think I need to spend some more time dialing this tank in. Changes: Added another $10 "wavemaker" but removed a $10 chalice coral. No change...

Welcome back!! The corals you gave me are doing well, I can frag them for you when you're ready.

I’m currently doing it on my 3g pico budget build. Only filtration is a HOB with filter floss I change weekly. I’d much prefer to have a skimmer, but the tank is too small and it wouldn’t fit the budget anyways. Skimmers are amazing. The reef octopus on my main tank has been pulling sludge non...

Stuff is about to get stupid expensive, and for what?! I’m frustrated, angry and tired. Fml.

Great choice of color. It will go really well with your white stands. Maybe your subfloor isn't perfectly level? I had vinyl at my old place, and there were some pockets with a little bit of squish. It didn't bother me very much.

Updates: I decided to organize the aquarium clutter in my closet. This is where I keep my test kits, supplements, food, tools, etc. I found myself losing stuff quite often and purchasing things I already had. I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I also created a fragging station (I was doing this...

Tank looks great! Is this a coral encrusted frag rack?
