I have been busy of late and not doing regular water changes. My corals look great. I have been averaging every two weeks for the water change. Tomorrow is fish tank day!!

I have been pretty busy and have not been doing my weekly water changes and the system looks great. I did adjust the Mg+ to 4 doses of 1 ml per dose daily.

LOL

I read the first post in the thread and you talked about doing things right this time, looked at the first picture and it looked like a science lab with all your probes and dosing tubes in the DT.

Tagging in, will get caught up on this shortly

Ahhh nice to have a day off, Nope sump needs to be cleaned and I found a tiny crack down the the sump drain. Note to self, next time double the acrylic where the hole is going to be and then drill.

Fix, while the sump is drained I will dry around the crack and shoot some scigrip #4 fast set and that should solve the problem for now. If and when I need to build a sump I would make some very minor changes

Ok I'm leaving off today on Page 30. Glad you got through that nasty cyano outbreak.
