Please keep us updated I might be tempted to get one too! Thanks for sharing

I have a confession to make and probably a good thing I checked! By "fresh" Saltwater I assumed maybe the little bit I had left from my last batch a few weeks ago would suffice, BUT I couldn't wait so during my lunch I went and tested the saltwater I had left in the mixing drum....it came back...

thats a good point I'll have to see when I go home tonight!

I heard and seen other people have them in their tank in like chambers, you could just dose it as a liquid?

Shoot I guess I have to look into that! How many times do you feed a day, I can't believe I've been feeding so much (feel sick even thinking about the 5-6 min I used to feed) I never thought about it thanks for the advice.

What's your typical feeding schedule as far as how many throughout the day? I see you mentioned you had two one for mysis and another for pellets? I the wifi controller I have only lets me do minute intervals when turning on the plank how do you only do it for seconds?

I have a mix of medium and small pellets (due to the big and small fish I have) even when the machine is turned off a lot of residual pellets fall out that haven't sinked yet even at 3 minutes a lot would go past and uneaten by the fish. I recently switched to one minute and will continue to...

You guys all are right I went back and checked how much food was being dispersed even at my 3 minute interval and it was way too much. I scaled back to 1 min and well see how it goes. I did the trick of testing my phosphates with half fresh saltwater and half tank water and I still got a .9...

Yeah it was flashing like crazy

Also switched my lights to my old Kessils honestly it looks so amazing I put it on blue and the color pops!! I wish I did it sooner, unfortunately one of my lights blue died if anyone has an extra A360we tuna or spectra controller I might be open to trade or buy it as well, thanks!

Update*** definitely think you guys were right it looks like Cyanobacteria, went ahead and listed my levels below as well as more pictures .

Up I have the plank as well yes I realized that I lowered it to 3 minutes twice a day how long do you typically feed for?

do you just put in rinsed Poly fil directly in the baffle or do you put it in a permeable bag, always heard its a cheap easy solution but was never sure, thinking of doing the same thing for my sump. btw your tank is amazing thank you so much for sharing, I know in a few months when things get...

I was feeding frozen but with my son and busy life at the moment I switched to pellets and an automatic feeder which has been really nice (saved me when I had to go on a cruise for a week) and easy. I do manually feed some Nori for my tangs every so often. I think I need to look into how long I...

Going to test when I get home I think my phosphates were really high I can see if I had logged my previous numbers

I just did a really big water change I think my nitrates and phosphates are getting a bit out of control I was feeding more but taking it down now until I get my levels controlled (updated my tank journal because I think I found the gross culprit smh) Not sure what SW is

Also caught my purple short spine pincushion urchin with a very impressive hat :D

Gross Tank update, I think I know why my phosphates and nitrates have been really high for a while....apparently I had completely missed that I left a filter floss pad in a lower part of my sump since practically the day I got it maybe close to 9-10 months now!!! o_O can't believe I missed that...

That might not be a bad idea for the stream thanks for the suggestion I’ll look into the chaetogrow thanks I thought I had so much excess phosphates and nitrates it would grow out my sump and walk away, I even have a Kessil light on full white at night time

Here are some newer pics I tried to get
