Tank is doing great. I've got the Dastaco carx dialed in. Right now it's running at 6% of capacity. I'm really liking this tank.

Are the Dastaco Calcium Reactors discontinued? I can't find them anywhere online and it looks like Unique Corals only has parts and media.

I also got around to printing an algae turf scrubber. I didn't realize how big this thing was. It took a spool and a half to print. I'm bummed it won't fit in my sump.

Its supposed to sit above your sump on these adjustable mounting brackets I printed. Pump the water to the top and just let it drain out of the bottom drain.

Just did my first water change last night after a month long fluconazole treatment. All bryopsis looks to be gone. Im glad I caught it early. It was also the first time using my new mixing station. This makes 20% changes a breeze. I drop a sicce ultra zero pump into my sump with a hose going to my toilet. 15 gallons gone. I bring in a hose from my mixing station and use an app to control the outlet for the mag drive pump and the sump is refilled in minutes. Super easy so I'll likely keep doing them.

I also tested my nitrates and phosphates this morning.
10 and 0.68

Im happy.
