Maybe your low return pump turnover is not getting the fish poop and particulate to the skimmer in time and it's just decomposing in the display area before it can get skimmed out? Could explain the wet skim with high nutrients?

You assume correctly, my wallet wishes you were incorrect.

Trying to keep your water temperature stable :p

Can you post a video of the skimmer from the side so we can see the bubble size and height? Like from this angle:

Can you post a screenshot or upload the file? The link just takes me to a login screen for Fauna Marin Lab.

I got a big chonk of meteor shower cyphastrea if anyone wants to try it.

Beautiful fish, nice photos too!

How are you acclimating and for how long usually?

Interesting, I'm sure your abundance of available nutrients helps being in high PAR :p That's something I have to think about, do I have enough nutrients and flow for more light?

I was just wondering what everyone's timing is when acclimating corals to new light, more specifically when adding lights/increasing PAR. I'm sure it depends on how big the lighting change is, but what's a general guideline, a couple weeks?

I love when people bring other expertise that can be used in the hobby like pottery, photography, plumbing, 3-d printing (I just realized that's a lot of p's) and more, very cool of you!

I've heard there have been much less Japanese tourists in Hawaii due to how weak then yen is.

I like that idea, like having simple syrup premade when making cocktails lol

Because spraying RODI on corals is bad. On the podcast @Thales accidentally made a KCL spray solution with RODI instead of saltwater and it messed up some of his corals.

I remember hearing on one of the Reef Beef podcasts that you could use Potassium Chloride in a spray bottle instead and have it at ready instead of having to mix up a full batch of KCL dip. Has anyone done this before? From my understanding, you use the same ratio of KCL to saltwater to make...

Check out the first 2 minutes of this Tidal Gardens video. He talks about why he wouldn't setup a manifold to run off of the return pump:

Nice setup, cleeeaaaaaannn!

Maybe try cutting back on the nori a bit too. If they get too full on what you're feeding, they'll never clean your rocks. Put those fools to work! :p

FedEx Tony shall now be known as Tank Saver Tony :p @psidriven is the best!
