You have got it you just don’t see it .if you’ve got lights on your tank it’s evaporating ... but you should be checking your salinity every day .. well I do .. I have a 360 ltr system and I’m adding 4-5 liters a day with my ATO..too keep my salinity at 1.026 or 35ppt

I like this one a lot. How is the streaming? Is it choppy? In doing some searching I came across ip webcam and can use it using an old phone as the camera and Ivideon app to view with. It worked pretty good at home and I will be setting it up today, the only con I see with it is it’s choppy. The pro is it’s free and easy to setup and use.

Here’s my 13g evo. They LOVE the LRS reef frenzy food. I was worried about scooter but he took to it right away. I know it’s bare, trying to go slow. The empty shells are because I had fighting hermits, which fight no more as the bully changed shells.

I’d probably get that rock that has all that bubble algae out. It will cover your rocks or get an emerald crab to help eat it and get rid of it before it spreads...

I’m also noticing some Aiptasia on your right rock, id kill that before it spreads (nuisance)

Keep it out or kill the algae and put it back in?

I’ve been working on it with joes juice. Stuff works pretty good. I do a few at a time.

Okay great! It spread in my old 60 quick before I inspect and dip, now I try to take as little of the rock as possible by chiseling down and making sure I dip in coral rx. As far as the bubble algae I would try to remove the algae from the rock if you wanted to keep that rock, if not since we have nanos (I have a 10gallon) we can pretty easily replace a smaller rock. I would replace it with another piece of that purple rock in the left of your pictures and save a headache of it spreading to al the rock

Can I move the mushrooms to another rock? And if so how do I do that? Sorry to be so coral illiterate.
