I don't know if this is the best (as far as safety) but I put all my big power blocks (idk what hey are called) in a marine box to help get them out of the way. I made sure to label all my cords which definitely helped! It also helped that I have a wooden base and was able to screw my power...

I went ahead and checked my parameters again this morning Phosphate - .38 ppm Nitrate - 13.8 ppm ALK - 9.06 dKH However when checked my Calcium it was super low, like maybe 80 ppm. I never dosed but when I checked last week it was solid around 455 ppm. I am really thinking I must have made...

Thanks thats what I kinda picked up, don't over react suddenly slowly change and see if it helped

Just wanted to do a little update forgot to do it earlier, big shout out and thank you to @Reefer Madness! He kindly was able to come down and took a peek, upon further inspection we figured out thankfully it was NOT Dino :) probably a type of hair algae. Will probably end up just taking out the...

to be honest it probably could be better, I have a scopes tang and just added a white tail bristle tooth! I thought these guys were supposed to be good at algae grazing, but regardless I should look into adding more CUC as @Hamada kindly mentioned when I met him! Where would you recommend I get...

I'm not sure how long @FreahSaltyGuy had the bird nest in the tank but I would venture to say it wasn't very recent, when I bought the tank I didn't see any signs of this on there, hopefully its something that doesn't spread all over my tank, I think when I get home for lunch I will go ahead and...

would you all recommend just take it out of the tank? Or is it okay to leave for the night?

You guys are all awesome, I didn't expect this much input this late at night on a weekday :) really happy to be apart of this wonderful community!

I can just pull it off it's not glued in thankfully! when I see it in person it does have "air bubbles" at the tips of the algae, from what I remember (a long time ago) Dinos tended to do that

Yeah read up on that, just irritates them but they can pop back up!

That would be great thank you so much!

Here's hopefully a little better picture of how it looks

I think you're right @Alexander1312, I really meant Dinos they have bubbles in them. I use a commercial grade RODI water system that last time I checked had 0 TDS reading. I will test my nitrates and phosphates right now and see where they are

I did read you never want your nitrates and phosphates to be completely zero as it can lead to killing your corals

Thanks for the response this tank was established for I believe at least two years before I bought it, I used a good amount of at the original water and all of the liverock/sand/mechanical filtration used previously in the tank. Would this still be considered a "new" tank? I have heard using too...

Update #2 Tank is starting to look really nice corals seem really happy so do the fish! I finished setting up my ATO (Still need to figure out how to automatically fill it up, I have the supplies but thats a project for another day hahaha). I checked my Alk and Ca a day or two ago and they...

Yes I would love this, bummed I couldn't make it to this swap but excited for future events!

WOW all your corals are amazing, that orange montipora is so beautiful, absolutely awesome tank definitely something to look up too!

Love those torches! Welcome

Sorry to hear that, I just ordered one of these guys really beautiful fish. I hope you find a good home for it or figure out a external QT solution
