Update 12/19/22: PO4: It has been reasonably consistent with 0.02 ppm daily dosing (via top-off) but I think I should feed more, add more fish, or dose more. Leaning toward adding more fish :) NO3: Looks like the bio-media in the canister filter finally has a stable population of anaerobic...

Thank you for the advice. I will definitely do that. I wish I could have a dedicated tank for it but I just don't have the space and time for it yet. I will let you know when I decide to cut it!! The seller said it is from Biota (Ultra Green Toadstool Leather).

I have been busy with work and kids but testing PO4, NO3, ALK twice a week. So far so good. Anyone interested in a large fresh cut toadstool? I am planning to cut the shaded area which will be at least 6" x 6". The tank has been doing weel.

This is very sad, sorry about the trouble!!

I think it is around 2017 to 2019 which I bought used for less than $1000. ‍

Our 15.4" Macbook pro (with touch bar) has a cracked LCD, it only shows a black screen. We called a place and they said it would cost about $900. Ouch! Does anyone know a good place for the LCD replacement? Thank you

Updates 10/31/22 The toadstool coral is so big today! I want to keep this one as long as I can but I don't know how much longer I can keep it. :oops: Water parameters are looking good. For phosphate, I have been dosing 0.02ppm daily for about 3 weeks (via top-off reservoir) and it looks like...

Very sorry to hear this. Also interested in knowing the name of the zoa.

Thanks for the tip. I think an external top-off reservoir can be great since you can mix it with PO4, NO3, amino acid etc without an additional dosing pump. This is what I put into my external top off reservoir weekly.

I will need to add a separate layer. : ) You can call it Pisa sometime next year! Very cool idea. I think it could work with a staghorn acro skeleton.

The pressure tank prevents frequent on-and-off of action of the mechanical solenoid valves (also noisy) but it might not be necessary. You mean something like this one right? I like how small it is!

Hi Tankguy If you don't mind covering the back side of the tank, one or two Aquaclear 110 with a small heater and media will be easier to maintain (vs canister filter) . :)

I know I won't be upgrading my setup anytime soon but wanted to prepare for the future. What do you guys think about this auto top off setup? - (update) this setup feeds rodi water directly to the sump - The valve on the pressure tank needs to be adjusted to prevent too much pressure to the DI...

I heard that they prefer colder temp than average reef.

Since favia is an encrusting coral, I created this stackable 3d printed ball that can grow with the coral without being an eyesore. The picture on the far right is showing the coral on the first layer. Hope I get a beautiful ball-shaped favia in a year. :)

Thank you. Now I just need to seat back and watch them grow since there is not much space left to put more corals. :)

Got some beautiful and very large SPS frags/colonies from @jhuynh and @H2OPlayar !! Water parameters in the picture. PO4 is on the high side but the corals look colorful and healthy. No3 is very high, waiting to get a good anaerobic bacteria population which takes a long time.

I think it is good enough to keep a healthy reef. Just feel slightly uncomfortable using this in the long run. :)

After work, I performed 3 tests today with a dedicated regent for each test. Has anyone tried this? Test method: Shaked vigorously 50 times and waited for the microbubble to disappear. Same cuvette direction. Cleared with a soft dry towel. The result: Still getting inconsistent results as I got...
