Cali Kid Corals

Ryan’s 40G first reef

Thanks Eric, if I can’t get this working I’ll take you up on that!
I found an old travel adapter, unplugged the dead head internally and got this thing sort of working! Now I have a few weeks to dial it in.

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll do that now.
Edit: it’s calibration is a joke. Just runs continuously.
Edit 2: It’s rated for 50ML/min but it runs at 60ML/min. That’s close enough for the amounts i dose.
calibrate it twice. first time will be more since it's gotta prime the line.
 
Shout out to @Danhsj for the affordable bubblegum digi colony! I took the plunge and yolo mounted it to my rock work at about 250 PAR with expoxy and in direct flow. I tried superglue but ended up just sticking me to myself. So far it’s looking great compared to my CFM bubblegum digi which has looked terrible after I got it. Time will tell about this one.

I ordered 2x of the new 2022 Jebao "ALW" generation wave pumps to see if the pump part is any different and to replace my oversized 2021 Jebao main wave pump so that I can finally mount corals to my rock work. Jebao also updated my return pump model, right after I bought it.
If anyone wants my perfectly good MLW-30 with 3D printed guard for cheap, let me know.

Edit: SLW, MLW, AND ALW all use the same impeller pump. I canceled my order as theres no physical feed button, only in the app. I ordered 1x MLW-10 (wifi+controller) instead.

Alk is steadily dropping despite dosing. I'm increased the dosing amount so now I have to wait for it to take hold. I test at the same time daily.
 
work one problem at a time. I'd start with your nutrients. you're gonna starve your corals with those double 0's. you're gonna encounter a lot of issues with an imbalance nutrient system.
I would LOVE to not have 0, 0 but I’m already over feeding frozen and pellets. I was told by some on here to not dose N&P. I just setup A/B+ on my doser and set it to 12ml/day. I’ll tackle other issues after this is fixed.
