IM 25 lagoon build

I picked up the red sea dosing lines/holder. It came today, the lines that it comes with seem really good quality compared to what came with the bubble magnus doser. Still trying to figure out how to fit in into the back of the tank. I could potentially remove the ghost skimmer. I'm not sure it even does much, but the holder where it would go and add a bit of extra tubing to have things go into the return chamber. Or possibly use the dosing line organizers and attach one to the wall above and have the lines go into the tank from there.

Solved my space issue. Glued the dosing line holder to the light mount.

I haven't programmed the doser yet, but hoping to get to that this weekend.

Been quite awhile since I updated. It's been a bit of a crazy last couple months. Near the end of March I got laid off in a mass layoff. Luckily the tech market is hot right now so I was able to find a job in a week and took 3 weeks off.

As for the tank, it's been a bit neglected the last couple weeks. Been on a couple camping trips and ran out of salt so this weekend was the first water change in a few weeks.

The tank has been a bit neglected recently. Between camping trips and waiting for my salt to be delivered it's been a few weeks since the last water change.

I've had some ups and downs recently. I was having issues with the inkbird and the continues heating alarm and shutting off the heater. It happened while I was away camping one weekend and I came back to a tank temp in the 60's! Luckily I only lost one SPS frag.

I've also been having issues with one of my Montis seemingly dieing off in places. Not sure what's going on there...

For the last few months I've been dealing with lots of cyano. While my tds was still at 0, I think it may have been the water as it was starting to appear in my other tank as well.

I haven't added any new fish or corals. My clowns have started to host in the toadstool which is pretty cool. Unfortunately they tend to move it around a bit which is kind of annoying.

Sorry to hear about the layoffs. Tanks is looking good! Keep at it!

Thanks! Unfortunately the tank took a big hit this summer. Not sure what happened, but I saw the same thing happen in my 75g.

I lost all the SPS that were in the tank, a few acans, 2 euphyllia, the favia and the big Jedi mind trick. Pretty much anything encrusting was the first to go.

After that the cyano came in as did bubble algae. Between those and the aiptasia the tank is in rough shape.

I'm looking at moving the remaining corals into the 75g and then completely restarting this tank. It was always supposed to be temporary and then lasted 3 years.
