    Been using the same light for a small external fuge too, on max intensity it grows chaeto and ulva like crazy but once the growth gets dense I’ve found the par isn’t strong enough like it’s more pricey h380. Can remedy that with slightly increased flow though

    That’s good to hear bro. I don’t have good flow for the refugium. Thinking of solutions. Any advice other than add a pump? LOL

    From what i have read on many online forums, corals do not consume anything if they are stressed. And do note that the consumption of such are not linear throughout the day.

     

    Thanks for the info. Learnt something new today. Trying to monitor as I’m going a away for a Long trip. Waiting for my dozer to arrive. 

    Read that a possibility in the dKH spike of 3 could likely be the powdered Seachem Marine buffer. Though not stated, it apparently raises dKH too!

    Since water change is one of the most important husbandry of reef tank maintenance , one consideration that we had was to make the water change process extremely hassle free.

    as the house is rebuilt, we were able to install a drainage system right under the tank cabinet. 2317FB68-EFB4-44C9-9A2A-C8FF2C345DD0.thumb.jpeg.4f79541c7e6e92df59d355041007d108.jpegThis drainage pipe is estimated at a height to drain about 15-20% of the tank volume, an optimum amount for water change. It is controlled by a ball valve, once open, the water will flow down to the drainage as shown in e picture below.4F1D46FF-FF6F-4B64-B8EF-CD0A8DA71663.thumb.jpeg.5d8ce9aa3db4841c4372c5706d9e5f82.jpegthe RODI waste water tube is also connected to the drainage pipe! And yes the RODI is installed within the cabinet!

    so water change is just, drain the water with the drainage pipe, pour the salt into mixer tank, switch the valves to pump the water up to display tank. There you go, a water change process without pails!

    haha, love to hear your comments on this!

    Very good planning! If I intend to rebuilt my house. Must appoint you as consultant! Following this thread for the awesome built!
