    Alk consumption gradually decreasing ..

    Ca and Mag are fine there as long as you aren't dosing anymore. I run my Mag regularly around 1500. Ca around 450 but 500 isn't danger zone imo. Definitely don't do changes before you leave. Let it cruise.

    Equipment questions.

    I'll take the reef keeper. It's an old school aquarium controller. Can set on/off schedule and also program outlets to be on/off depending on input.

    MY IM 170EXT

    I've been interested in the Dalua and vegemite bars for awhile. I may have to arrange a visit to you one time to check em out in person if you'll have me.

    Looking for thoughts on substrate/ canopies

    No idea as I haven't ran a canopy before. I have seen people cut squares in the end and mount computer fans on each side but you'd need to also figure out a power supply to run them. And I'm not sure how well they last in this application.

    Looking for thoughts on substrate/ canopies

    You'll most likely still need fans to keep air moving to avoid excess moisture. It will be a very humid enviornment without moving air due to the tank (obviously) and the heat from the lights (slightly less obvious).

    Looking for thoughts on substrate/ canopies

    For For the non working light, try it plugged into one of the other power supplies to rule out a bad power brick. The light itself is pretty well built. I dropped one of mine about 6ft onto a glass table and didn't miss a beat. Surprisingly the glass table didn't even get a scratch either. Get...

    Looking for thoughts on substrate/ canopies

    With a tank build this big, you would really have to pivot and change and/or add a lot of equipment if going to SPS dominant in the future from a mixed reef setup. TBH setting up for a mixed reef is much harder in terms of getting the right amount of flow in all the different places you want...

    Looking for thoughts on substrate/ canopies

    Spot light reference is due to the small size of the LED cluster (which is why I refer to them as single point lights sources) this is what gives them the Kessil "shimmer" so the lights start at a small point at the puck and then angle out from there. This can cause a lot of shadowing depending...

    Looking for thoughts on substrate/ canopies

    The Kessil A360WEs are great lights, but 3 doesn't even come close to enough coverage for this tank IMO. Especially if SPS dominant is the goal. With that being said, your best bet in order to make the most of your money would probably be to run the 3 you have and then keep an eye out on the...

    DBTC: Fluted Moon Coral

    I did not notice long sweepers on this at any time. But I've also never seen my chalices with long sweepers out so take that with a grain of salt...lol. These are related to favias which I know can have sweepers so my educated guess would be that these can produce long sweepers too.

    Black Friday reefing deals/purchases?

    Finally got my item delivered! Unfortunately it has some small cracks in the acrylic at the top on one side. I've got some weld on 4 and will just glue these up and run it. Decided to go with an algae scrubber and shut down my fuge. Fuge wasn't keeping up with my nutrients and was also...

    Definitely over kill for an IM15 and the layout of the 2 pucks would be awkward with a lot of light spill. XR15s are my go to for an IM15 sized/shaped tank.

    I've had an Octo Aquatics lid for a custom de-rimmed biocube 32. They are definitely well made and look great!

    I'd be interested in a couple once they're ready if you're selling. Would love to surprise my daughters with a sea horse tank!

    I just installed an A8SE on my display today to replace one of my busted XR30 Pro G5s. Quick PAR readings show just as good if not slightly higher PAR than a xr30 g5 pro. The blues go a deeper blue than the xr30 g5 pro. I had all settings the same but had to bump cool white up to 25% to match...
