Very nice man. I am wanting to add about 15 more fish or so. We will see.
what lights are you running?

All fish have the name "lil guy" until they make it 3 days. Then and only then can we call them by a name.

Anthias and new coris day 3

Puffer day 2

True story: My old man Chihuahua dog was named Little Guy so my wife didn't get attached. I found him in the desert and the vet said he was about 6 months old. 16 years later he died of old age at our house.

A giant frag tank……
dont mind the names and dates, I do that to keep track of growth over time. Also the par numbers are wrong in that picture, but it’s the first full tank picture I ran across. Not sure how many corals I have. 30 or so. Never counted. Moved and reset the tank a few years ago [2021]. 48/48/24 cube. Custom built by George when he still owned GEO’s reef. Last tank he built

Those top 3 are all in my future wish list.

If you were local, I’d give you chunks of the first 2 as mine are much larger now. And a frag (by modern standards) of the 3rd as it hasn’t taken off in my system yet.

Pack is active today. Greeting me at the glass.

Wonder if the puffer feels lonely . 1 day from being able to have a name

I love a good Braveheart moment.

My crazy thought of the day.

How can I run a super long skimmer intake hose to the outside of the house to pull in fresh air.

I also don't test ph I just assume it's low since basement with radon remover was needed on top of a hill.

Every time I open windows in basement corals "perk up"

It's like I'm finally reefing...

@F i s h y ur butt plug looks like a rough one...

That definitely looks like two in the pink and one big one in the stink.

Can you use kalk to help boost pH? I do and have had good luck keeping my pH up.

I do use kalk in my ato bin.

I am looking at ph testers

considering a hannah 3 point system. $275.... but seems nice for salinity, ph, temp

 

[biecacka]

Ahhh. Yeah i used to do it that way too. Was fine. But I have since switched to an aqualifter running off my pH probe of my apex.

Measure pH with a low-cost Arduino pH sensor board – E-Tinkers

I recently bought an Arduino pH sensor kit for measuring pH value of my hydroponic setup, it cheap but has very little information/document on how to use it, so I decided to figure it out myself on how it works and how to use it.
