very nice!

Thank you

Nice little set up

Thank you


I will be soon adding zeo to the system. I am not going "full" zeo but will be using their additives w/out the stones.

I've been manually dosing ALK and just keeping it steady enough to do weekly WC with H2Ocean salt. I will be adding a BRS doser most likely to the apex.

How do they not look happy?
None of them fight, they all eat like pigs and the chromis actually had major flukes and beat it in my tank.

I'm just curious as to what makes them in pictures look so unhappy?

Yes looking good!

Thank you rehv. I don't post often but have tried to more.

I've come to realize a nano sps tank is honestly too demanding especially with manual dosing and my clams in there with sps sucking close to .8 kH daily and 30-50ppm of Ca idk why but my calcium goes down SOO fast it's insane. Soon I will be upgrading to a 50g

Looks nice, pics are sooo blue hehe. Is that an AI Sol blue?

 

[mgdmirage]

Never mind I just went back up and read that it was duh hehe.

If your calcium drops faster than alkalinity you may want to check your magnesium and perhaps bump that up.
