00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[1ocean]

Finally got photos and update on new fish. I’ll post links here for those interested so I keep my build thread active. Otherwise we need to rename this thread, “The Joel, Frank, Tim, Kevin, Katrina, Amanda, Reef Devil, Parker, Remi, Fishy, Jennifer and most of R2R Smorgasbord Thread”! (Don’t know everyone’s name yet - sorry)

And look at you with your open sump with cool lighting! Girl, you were busyyy this weekend!

Love the rock scape! I can already imagine fish swimming through the passages!

Don’t forget to post this in your build thread too! We’re following and will comment, and you’ll get exposure to more great people! It’s how I met all of you!

Except me.

Good morning all!

Having young kids I’m no longer a night owl ha. We’re rarely up past 9:30-10, and that’s east coast time.


I’m Will. Nice to meet you!

Hi Will!
At this point we’ve got the whole 24 hour day covered which is great when your desperate for a reefing emergency; but requires a lot off coffee and good eye glasses to get thru the pages - lol.

Young parents must rest!

Except me.

True! I met Tim through a crazy weekend live sale and he stood out as a kind, helpful person with a great sense of humor! Who actually did know reefing!

He always tagged me about future R2R giveaways and things he felt I would have interest in. A natural mentor!

Good morning y'all!

Good morning. Trying to roll out of bed for a cup-o-Joe. Been working on that for a little over an hour now...

 

[00W]

Good morning Frank I will need your insight today if that's OK and you're available.
Will check in in a bit.

Exactly what I was thinking!

 

[Calmwaters]

Silly question but what do you guys mean by AIO?

Thank you! My brain just could not figure it out.

 

[Kipp's Corals]

Does this make any sense? Overflow goes into the sump and then under the filter sock?!?

 

[Fishy Guy]

Thank you! My brain just could not figure it out.

They're for people like me who aren't smart enough to operate a real sump!

Heck, I didn't even use the AIO right when I first set it up ha.

I know I'm a newbie but I don't think that's the way its supposed to work.

@tbrown so I tested my nitrate for this week and it was 5.4! Usually it is always at 10 but I am guessing that the GHA is consuming a lot of it. I forgot to test phosphate but I bet that is low too.
I removed a bunch of the GHA today but still there was a a lot left.
I just don’t understand why it is still here and growing so much. My nutrients are not super high.
Is there anything I could dose that is safe and would kill the hair algae?

Also alk was 8.4. My trident was testing it a bit high.

 

[Reef Devils]

Even though the hair algae may look bad all the corals seem to be happy.
