Hola! You rang... Great choice @Alexander1312 on the Neptune. I was going to get that one. I ended up with the Typhoon Extreme but need to add additional chambers for DI. There is so many things to learn with water filtration. It's all about the source water and with so many different types...

planks are... not the subfloor that was my point. The joints are the point of failure for the waterproofing in all installs. That's good. Was it square/even gaps all the way around? That's what I was alluding to for the gap question. Another point of failure for the waterproofing. Also...

So subfloor is level. That's good. Room is square? Unlikely but possible. Did you scribe the planks installed for the last wall? To me, it looks like too much space between some of the joints and some of the pressure from movement is coming up where there are loose joints. Especially with the...

Looks like it got lost in the shuffle being in the wrong spot. Sorry about that.

Awesome @SupraSaltyReefer ! Thanks for your efforts with this.

Looks awesome! I need to chat with you soon so I can restart a bunch of my cultures. Got careless and they all crashed. :confused:

Rookie numbers! :p Bump that up a little more. I bet you have Nitrate. Did you see any hint of color in the vial? Hanna tester? I'm slowly getting away from the Hanna and just doing the basic Salifert test.

I haven't done enough research on this but the couple reefers I have talked to, really seem to like the color and growth their coral put on with this dosing option.

I was trying to keep everything associated with the budget build "under one roof". I figured with latest posts aspect of the forum, folks would see it. I'm not a fan of having stuff in different places on a forum that are associated with one purpose.

Killer looking clowns!

Yeah...

You're awesome!

My wife got a frag of this at the CFM at some point. Maybe RAP last summer. It's a beautiful coral. She mounted hers on the rock structure and it's definitely starting to take off.

It will interesting to see how the effects of these decisions will ripple. Too soon to know.

Well damn! I honestly like the ease of the Hanna, but it has been off for me at times. Not sure what the inconsistency is in my procedure is to give me drastically different readings. From 0.5 - 1.0 difference. And the fact they charge so much for a reagent that cost pennies to make, kind of...

Everyone get your votes in by the end of the day!

Good eye! I get it that aesthetically it's not for everyone. But do they degrade in a reef aquarium in some way? I'm with you, I'm genuinely curious if there are cited sources of toxins released by these. Personally, I wouldn't chance my tank with a painted ornament that is supposed to be...
