How loud is it in operation vs. idle? I only saw one video but couldn't tell because it was on a convention floor.

Salinity: Veegee refractometer double checked occasionally with a Tropic Marin hydrometer pH: online double junction probe Alk: Hanna or Salifert if I'm looking for speed Ca, Mg, K: Salifert for speed PO4, NO3: Hanna (only way to get accurate readings)

If anything you would want to control humidity right by having good ventilation right? Like how Ben was talking about that nightmare tank he worked on that had zero hood ventilation and had lots of corrosion and wood breakdown. This will increase your evap so keep that in mind. Probably will...

I've used it for 25+ years, no issue. Just don't use the box that's been soaking up your fridge funk.

This your 200g CDA? Curious to see what kind of lighting and flow you've got in there. Custom rock structures?

I can do clean up and coral check in

Thanks for showing the budget on how you can set something up for a pretty low price!

Meckley did fenben flakes to kill his right? Along with every other polychaete and snail in his systems.

Might not see much of a pH bump at night Danh with AFR dosing since it's actually going to drop things a bit as the bacteria metabolize it. Have you tried using a CO2 meter in the restaurant? I figure it might get high when you're cooking and there's lots of patrons.

I've found hemostats work well for crushing them. Haven't seen them take hold in my main tank. Not sure if that's the copperband or the urchins keeping them in control.

Looks like a spaghetti worm, beneficial.

All for reef is calcium formate plus trace elements.

The home cryptocaryon/velvet kit isn't out yet but it might be worth doing a qPCR test: https://www.dxaquaria.com/shop/

@Real JT be sure to request in BARcode using the link on the first post in this thread. Also feel free to introduce yourself in the welcome forum and put together a tank journal (usually required for DBTC corals).

Corals seem happy @mac96 ! Post some full tank shots on your journal when you get a chance!

Stopped by @rxx2rxx2 's to pick up phyto yesterday. Really great looking SPS in a pretty young tank! Tons of water flow too which must be helping out. Love the leopard wrasse.

I always remember the owner at aquatic gallery in suits all the time like Than at Tidal Gardens. I wouldn't dream of getting skimmate on my dress shoes!

I've tried and never succeeded. @tribbitt just has that reefing kung fu with his modified cage here.

Channeling Jake Adams here: there's no such thing as a yellow coris wrasse. There's the yellow wrasse AKA Halichoeres chrysus: and the yellow and purple wrasse Halichoeres leucoxanthus: The main difference is the white belly and the fact they live in the Indian Ocean. Both pictures are...

FWIW there's tons of different flatworm species so biological control might only work for some. I didn't have any luck against either the noxious red planaria type (that doesn't go into corals) and euphyllia specific flatworms with these fish: Spotted mandarin Yellow wrasse Pink streak wrasse...
