    Rostatos Reefer 450 and Reefer 170

    Finally found a spot to mount my KhG thanks to @Srt4eric This is a much more efficient spot to mount it. I previously called this the “dead zone” of the stand where I had unused space.

    What did you get from CFM?

    It’s not quite open yet. Probably will take a few days. I’m a little rough on coral when dipping.

    What did you get from CFM?

    The best way I can describe it is to compare it to going to Neptune or AC on a weekend. Exactly the same. Plenty of people, but not packed.

    Baykes' 105 Gallon "First Big Reef"

    Yeah, your scape looks great. One of the few that actually made it look fairly natural. Great job! I’m excited for this one.

    KH Guardian 3d printed mount

    Mine hasn’t leaked yet but that is definitely a concern.

    KH Guardian 3d printed mount

    Technically it doesn’t need a mount. You can just let it sit on its bottom. The mount will allow you to elevate it off the floor of the stand or whatever.

    Do you guys use a filter sock or roller mat?

    I’m currently using filter floss. I went with no mechanical filtration for over a year prior to going to the floss and I see no difference in the corals. I change the filter floss every 3 days. This takes 5 minutes, and is way better than spending a few hours every couple months to suck up all...

    plumbing help -- RO 1/4 line quick disconnect?

    It’s really not. Takes me 1 minute to set up each time. I have found that the valves only last about a year before they start leaking after being pulled apart so often. those things you suggested are way more heavy duty than needed to me.

    plumbing help -- RO 1/4 line quick disconnect?

    Your plan is essentially how I do it. But I use two valves. That way I don’t get any dripping. You don’t need to watch the video. You can see my connection by the dog in the screenshot below.

    How do I keep nitrates and phosphates UP?

    Yeah I think I need to make a checklist for me to put through my head before I post something. I always assume people are doing the same things I’m doing...because they obviously should be ;)

    How do I keep nitrates and phosphates UP?

    Food. Feed lots of food. Not junk food, but high nutrition food. Red Sea AB+ and acropower (notice and not or) Reef Nutrition Oyster feast, and high quality frozen food like Rods of Reef Frenzy. If you feed your fish pellet food from an auto feeder daily you get some phosphate from that as...

    Rostatos Reefer 450 and Reefer 170

    Well, after digging, I found this paper that is Using the same data but was published in 2020. It does show a dip in temp in April which also seems to be when the corals spawn in Palau. So this probably means something...
