I'm curious as to why? Aside from potentially bottoming out phosphate to 0 with too much...

Overall Budget Goal: I want to distill a vibrant and colorful reef tank down into a small but manageable volume of water. The cost of setting up a new reef tank is a big barrier in this hobby, so I'd like to show what's possible with simple equipment and some generosity from the club. While it's...

You've inspired me to test my parameters, something I should do more often. Temperature: 79F pH: 8.35 Salinity: 34 ppt Alk: 9.9 dKH Ca: 455 ppm Mg: 1290 ppm Nitrate: 2.5 ppm Phosphate: 0.12 ppm

I turned the intensity down from 65% to 50% after I made those measurements. A rough estimation now is 160 PPFD*(50/65) = 123 PPFD. I'm not actually sure there is a linear relationship between the intensity knob and PPFD. It would be a good experiment to do with the club's PAR meter...

Thanks for stopping by and passing along your weeping willow!

Yep, they thrived on my neglect over the last year and a half, muahahaha! My only guess is they prefer the extra nutrients from the more relaxed maintenance.

Are we including cost of tax/shipping in the budget? Can I take frags from my other tanks and add the original purchase price to the budget? Asking because I'm trying to put together a sub $250 build, stuff adds up quickly!

Wow, I can't believe it's been 1.5 years since my last update. I've been busy with other things in life, just doing basic maintenance and letting things cruise. I'm getting back in to reefing now that I have more spare time. FTS today: I'm honestly a little bit paranoid after seeing all of the...

I'm in San Jose. To clarify, I'm not giving away the whole colony, I'll cut off a single head for anyone who wants one!
