Need some training on this, but a quick question: I am using this type of resin setup. This is how the resins look like. It appears that a color change to amber means it needs to be replaced. The way I interpet this now is that one needs to be replaced, the other two are still ok?

Never measured this exactly, but wanted to do it now. Any thoughts about the amount of dry food that comes out daily - 4 feedings / 1:30 minutes per feeding? This amount seen is 6 minutes running the plank feeder. Edit: Added list of fish (excluding the yellow tang :() Edit 2: This is a mix...

Yes, my tank is very camera-friendly, I do not need filters really. They are all Eufy, 2k on the side and sump, 4k dual lense for the front.

Webcam views for the main tank (edit: Eufy 2k/4k, no filter). Edit: Added another side view camera (Panasonic HomeHawk, 1080p). This side will get algae quickly, but hopefully the camera blocks out a lot of outside light so I can still see inside the tank for a while.

My coral frag tank 28 gallon has one six line wrasse, and nutrients are constantly all over the place, specifically nitrate are always rather low, as @MarcosD already mentioned. A good balance between fish and corals seems to be preferable.

Skimmer water level sensor installed and tested. Works great - skimmer stops immediately when sensor is wet and restarts again when sensor is dry.

15,000 ml highly diluted alkalinity solution (+traces), which should last approximately 25 days, and a 5 gallon skimmate container, and a 5,000 ml CA (+traces) container. Perfect fit, but no room for anything else now. Dosing setup is now vacation ready.

This is my single biggest concern at the moment. A significant shift in alkalinity consumption while I am gone.

New sump lights for this tank (and the nano tank). Sometimes solutions are so simple if you know them. Only concern was if they were to come off and fall into the water, but the way there are positioned, this should not happen. Also, temperature went above 80F today, despite the...

I bought a different model but this was a super helpful reference in your journal. Thank you.

You are the best, Kenny. Thanks so much for the update!

I am currently more concerned about lanthanum phosphate, I.e., the end product of using lanthanum chloride, to be extremely sticky clogging pumps over time etc. I was not aware of this, but some rather knowledgeable folks in other groups I am part in, advice against using this in skimmers, and...

I have been planning my 17-day absence starting next Monday for quite some time now, but I am still not sure if I considered everything important. Wanted to reach out to see if you are willing to share any advice on what to consider when going on vacation. One thing I am still not sure how to...

These are my opinions on my favorite topic and are not meant to trigger anyone. There are really only two that matter in terms of scale (global). Triton and FM. Triton is much more convenient for us in the US. I do not like their reporting and recommended actions, but more importantly, I do...

Yes, it is an interesting test. Fauna will bring out something similar in the next few months, and I will wait until then. The moonshiner distribution bottleneck seems to bother folks, not sure what this issue is with them? Anyway, still busy with getting the traces dialed in from the regular...

Some positive news before my departure - clownfish spawning.

I had some pictures in my journal but I blame the egg crate the previous owner glued it on, which got stuck in the blade.

I had a big need to learn how to cut the bottom of the acro colony which I was not able to with the saw as well as fragging a favia colony - but I am overseas, so will need to wait a few more months for the next one. Thanks for always offering this ahead the swap.

Sounds good. BOD always gets special treatment from me, but I was not planning to go to this frag swap as I will just have returned from a longer overseas trip and most likely need the weekend to catch up with tank maintanance. If I go, you both will get a larger piece.

Edit: *Supporting members only - BOD volunteers receive preference* I am running out of space of the frag tank and have at least 2-3 of these.
