NERD ALERT! So i changed the plan a bit. I decided to mimic Palau because it seems to be a pretty diverse reef, and is close enough to the equator that the days and nights don’t change in length too much over the course of a year. I pulled the data for the sun and moon rise and set times from...

Wow, how did I miss this? GREAT tank. I can't help with DINO's but just following along

That’s pretty much the worst way to start a day. (Reefing wise)

I say let it be. Is it getting basted with flow or something?

Just looks pissed off. Torches are pretty sensitive. My dragon soul looked great in my reefer 450, but when I move it to the new 170 it started to look like crap. The 170 is probably too young of a tank for torches.

I’m still saying Scoly, but I wouldn’t rule out acantho as well

Lots of reading on Neptune’s forum and a lot of beers, trial and error. I haven’t done the temp change yet. I still need to change the season table to somewhere else. I’m thinking maybe Indonesia or Tonga. Just spitballing here. Here’s my current light programming. Basically it’s running...

Really hard to say with 100% certainty but looks like a scoly to me

Genius!

Unfortunately no. My tank will get very cold in the winter. We keep our house at 65 degrees in the winter time because PG&E is stupid expensive and we are in a very old house. My tank doesn’t need too much heat in the summer because we keep the house at 79 degrees in the summer...PG&E sucks...

Yes, I also need to figure out how much of a temp swing I should allow within the apex season table. For example if the month of January temperature is 76, would the apex allow it to swing a whole degree or only one tenth of a degree? Hmm ill add that to my to-do list

Yes. I think I was over thinking it

I finally read all of the coral magazine articles on coral spawning and have gone down the rabbit hole. A fun one mind you. Maybe @Thales has some suggestions or things I may be missing? @Squist have you changed anything yet? Things I have changed. 1. Downgraded my gen 4 Radions to work with my...

I have never even heard of this issue, and never noticed it. I “dose” a crap ton of Rowaphos every two weeks to my tank (8tbs for about 110 gallons). I guess I’ll have to pay more attention. I also can’t see it making a huge difference. Even with constant dosing from my carx, and kalk reactor I...

Not too much, but it’s plenty. I was dosing 80mls of each in my 250 and salinity was out of control

You must be dosing a lot of two part. I had the same issue until I switched to carx.

Personally I’d save money by trying to find an old apex classic for basic options and monitoring and then when ready add a KH guardian. This will be very cost effective and space saving. The only things you lose with a classic apex vs an EL are built in WiFi, the power monitoring and...

It spewed out all sorts of stuff. Looked like the whole thing was puking

Crazy! That’s definitely the issue

You get a picture of it?
