    Ryan’s New 40G Setup mixed reef

    Update: RIP Tank February - Stabilized tank by reducing alk dosing and bought KH guardian. March - House work led to power disconnect and some demo work put some dust in the tank. Overnight it was gone. Did not have the ability to move tank with work and didn’t think demo would require no...

    Ryan’s New 40G Setup mixed reef

    So - chalice is gone . Have been working to stabilize my conditions. Currently, params are stabilizing: 1.026 sg 7.8 pH 10.7 dKh .08 ppm PO4 .25 ppm Nitrate Cyphastrea again is getting its ass kicked - some of the other montipora are losing their color. Trying to understand what is going on...

    Getting out of a bad cycle?

    Well - it looks like given my time (I have a newborn and a 21 month old running around during WFH) - automation may be the best bet. Looking into a kH guardian now, and will see how things fluctuate when I do water changes / carbon changes.

    Getting out of a bad cycle?

    Yeah reef crystals are like 11dkh normally so should I just aim to stabilize there instead of 9? Otherwise each water change will be a dkh shock... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Getting out of a bad cycle?

    No. X1 doser is my first attempt at any kind of automation other than ATO. Posted a thread in buy / sell / trade and maybe someone will have the other stuff I need? Happy to cobble together parts or buy some stuff new. Just don’t know what to buy - and it all has to fit in the cabinet under...

    Getting out of a bad cycle?

    Need some help here. Per my tank journal I’m relatively new to dosing and this is my first small tank. What’s happened: - my raja chalice from @ofzakaria started dying - I tested my alk - it had been stable but had dropped to 6.5 - slowly increased my all for reef dosing (10%) but it was...

    This is now. Moved to lower flow / light in corner of tank. You can scroll up to see pics from a few days back (it’s rotated so not exact same angles) Hate losing coral tho especially nice ones like this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pix above though it’s hard to take. Have moved it to the very left of the tank. Should get lower flow and light there and can update here daily. @Coral reefer @ofzakaria Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gotcha. ‘Anybody’ wasn’t exactly the plan but since y’all’s systems already have it let me make sure it’s one of you two. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
