Welcome to BAR! Cool tank btw. I still consider myself a new reefers too. There is a lot to learn here and in this hobby in general. So many rabbit holes of research and it seems, just as many ways to accomplish your goals. Thankfully, there are so many reefers here willing to help that have...

My plan was to use a doser and definitely to start very slow. Animals for the most part are looking good. Based on your insight, I think I'll just continue with my water change routine until I can source the skimmer and then start. I'd rather not take chances with the livestock.

I like it! It's a good target IMO. Nothing wrong with seeking precision in your husbandry. I respect it.

I recently got mine and I love it. I wish it included a guide on it with ppt, but the online conversion app is amazing. I've used it to calibrate my digital probes also for quick readings. @Alexander1312 What's your target ppt? I've had stuck in my head since I came here, something...

So if I wanted to try the Elimi-Phos in my IM50 AIO tank, which has no skimmer, that would be too risky? If I dose it into the filter media basket where I can add floss or fine filter pads, that wouldn't work? I do have another tank with high phosphates but it does not yet have a skimmer. Would...

I found some near me. Picking it up today. So to confirm, you dilute 1 part Elimi-Phos with 40 parts RODI? How is your dose still too high? I does mention caution with tangs. My thought was to dose it into the drain section and let precipitate into the coarse sponge. Would this allow sufficient...

I'm curious where folks are sourcing their Lanthanum Chloride. Is there a preferred type/brand?

Welcome to the club! You've come to the right place. The amount of wisdom here is immense. Where are you located BTW? Where do you plan on moving to? I'm sure when that time comes, we can help you find homes for your livestock.

Just ordered a kit. Need it sooner than when we would likely see each other. Thank you though. I still need to figure out how to attach the wire to some of the lights though. That's where I am a little stuck.

I'm currently working on that plan... what type of cable did you end up going with? Double crimped?

It didn't work for me with 1 box either unfortunately.

That's great news!

Nice. The subscription discount didn't come up for me unfortunately. Or I would have tried to order a few boxes. I may have to ask @a.little.hypertonic to give it a try.

For the Reef Crystals? Or regular?

Glad you're back safe and happy to hear the tank is doing well! I hope the fish is just hiding :confused:

Just got caught up. You've been a busy busy boy! I hope you best of luck with all the improvements and getting your big tank setup.

I'm thinking you'd be a great candidate for running that instead :D Someone else can run the sps growout contest too. ;)
