FarmerTy could probably "recycle" all that amount of accumulated salt creep for the next water change ...

That is my water change... Throw the salt back in. [emoji23][emoji23]

Haha, it's not going to bust open. Been that way for 2 years now. Plus, all my sensors would scream at me if something did bust open.

Fun documentation:
3 months later... That's a 6" diameter reactor chamber and about 5" of media was used. 2-part has no business on my tank... I'd be poor.

Luckily I buy calcium reactor media by the 5-gallon bucket.

I know different media melts at different PH. What is your approach, have CaRx set at 6.5 or less and get to business of melting or set PH in reactor at say, 6:6x or above for less aggressive melting? Fast nickel or slow dime?

I just tune it to the system to match the uptake. When I moved... All my corals stopped growing for the first couple of weeks so my reactor pH was set to 6.8-6.9.

Now, it's set to 6.4-6.5 as my uptake has increased so it needs to be replenished quicker.

Seems to be in good health... Doesn't appreciate the battering its getting from my SPS flow though so not as extended as in your tank.

I'll be your FA (fraggers anonymous) sponsor if you send me a confetti frag for free. The first step in your recovery is to not value the frags.

My name is FarmerTy, and I have a problem... I'm addicted to fragging. It's been 2 months since I pulled out the clippers.

They are just living sticks... I should share with my reefing friends... I don't need to keep them all... [emoji24]

When and where is the meeting? I think a few of us need to go. Lol
