You can try putting some small rocks and crushed coral chips inside! Cos I actually have like a population of bristle worms, amphipods and copepods inside maybe drop some pellets once a month!

I also have a similar fuge setup. Honestly the flow going through is minimal because it uses an airpump to create air bubbles lifting a small amount of water through the tiny fuge. The chaeto’s growth for mine is stagnant. I currently just use it as a holding tank for sexy shrimp

Hi guys, just a question to anyone using this kind of fuge, how do u keep the chaeto moving in the small area? Mine is just stagnant and now got other algae growing on top of my chaeto. Like forming a layer of different algae on surface.

Hi fellow reefers, just wondering whats the recommended height for light fixture for a reef tank. Currently using the noopsyche k7 ii. Just want to know whats the height recommended from light to water level. Thanks

Great you found the root cause.
You can take a bit of water out. Then drip in RODI water slowly to dilute the water. Measure continuously so you don't overshoot. This should work well as the reduction in salinity will be quite slow.
Sure. Will do this slowly. Thx for the advise

I think that's likely the root cause. Swing arm salinity meters are notoriously inaccurate.
Suggest you invest in a optical refractometer as a first step.
@SubzeroLT got my refractometer and checked the salinity. Was super high at 1.038.Most likely my swing arm type of measurement is the issue gonna be performing a wc later on

Try doing a major water change will also fix the issue and to try balance the parameters
Already did a major wc before. Mg was at 2010 and ca was 890. Changed to a red sea blue tub salt mix and the values decrease but its still above the recommended values. Will try to use a refractometer first though.

Alright. Thx for the tip!

Suspect there could be measurement errors. What is the salinity you are running at? What type of device are you using to measure salinity? It is possible that your salinity is very high - hence the high numbers.
Aside from letting it deplete naturally, the only way to bring down Mg, Ca is to change water with 'good' parameters.
My salinity is at 1.026 and using the swing arm type of device. Possible reason mayb my device is nt so accurate???

Hi guys. Im fairly new to this hobby. Tank was running fowlr but recently trying to keep corals. Tested water parameters, my mg and ca is quite high. Ca:690, mg:1890. Did not dose any ca or mg additives. Only dose kh as it drops as per normal. Previously using skimz salt but now change back to red sea blue tub. Any other ways to bring down my mg???
