I lose about 1.5dkh daily and I imagine if I switched from a mixed reef to all sps that number would climb even higher.

It’s true, all rated for 125 gallons. Going to see how it does as it’s just a place for a fuge and skimmer. Flow is 5x tank volume so we should be good as long as I don’t blast the tank with food though on my 40 breeder I could just dump in food and with the combo of the fuge/skimmer/algae...

Tested parameters this morning and I can’t complain. 1.026 salinity 76.5 temp 8.5 Alk 430 calcium .02 po4 1 no3 0 ammonia 0 nitrite

Final thing to hook up is the apex. It’s a super old unit so all I have it do is monitor PH and Temp as it’s definitely had some connectivity issues I’d rather not deal with if I had everything hooked up.

They came from 3 tiny babies many years ago. I’ve sold off quite a few over the years. These things grow really well for me.

The work is done! Tidied up the cords a bit and hooked up the lighting last night. Was way too tired and just crashed out but I just woke up to a happy tank so all is well!

Well I got started at 8am, drove to Kessil in Richmond to grab a couple items and been at it since. All livestock is officially transferred and filtration/heaters are hooked up and running! No leaks, no back siphon (drilled 1/8” holes) and I’m officially tired so I’ll be taking a break then...

How big is big haha

Haha I feel the same. Not cause I’m incompetent just that if it has a plug for Ethernet this is always the superior connection. Avid video gamer so Ethernet or bust when it comes to reliability.

Ha! Party time. The tank cleaned up real nice once I commuted 2 hours of my life to the cause. I’m definitely pleased with my work and now the glass is almost back to new.

Well I think tomorrow’s the day. I found 3 nems almost completely blocking the overflows on the 40 gallon so it’s time.

Sick offering!

No. Honestly I don’t see the appeal, imo it looks way worse and there are proactive ways to keep a sandbed clean and the bare bottom gets crap on it as well so I much prefer the sanded look.

Well the tank got some vinager soaking and rinsing and now it’s passing a leak test. Figured I’d wash the dry rock in this rodi before draining since it’s easy enough. Got some cement coming that I’ll be making a couple structures with.

Those disappeared so quick haha. I’ll let you know on the next round.

We shall see.....

For random reefing stuff.....such as beer.....ha Honestly it’s nice to have some space on the side to work with.

This garage is almost 2” out over 6’ so it’s shim city under there haha. Once it’s full and settled I’ll be hacking them off and putting a kick plate on the bottom to hide it.
