Great looking tank, super nice guy, and big frags! Thanks!

I’ll take one

Gyre sold

Looking good One of my favorite things is vacuuming out the sump. I painted all sides of the sump white except the front so I like when it’s clean 🧽

I wouldn’t worry about your PH unless it’s for sure crossing 8.6+. 8-8.4 is a good place to be

Tunze ATO pending

Did you program that with the apex or is that an option with the maxspect controller?

Sweet I’ll go ahead and update then, thanks for the info

Not yet was going to do it when I get home in about an hour so let me know because I’ll hold off if it’s switching to 40 min

Ah okay, yeah mine is between 14-16 min. I hope it’s not 40 min tests after the update, I might get some scolding from Paige if R2D2 is chatting away for that long 😂

Where do you see how long the test takes?

I have mine set to a 1 min forward ramp-up. Then 20 seconds reverse flow, not sure if it’s good but everything seems happy.

Just moved from Vancouver, I’ll update that 😁

I’m in Gresham, but also work in Portland by the Moda center so either area works for me

I wonder is this could eventually be a negative. Have you’re tank so stable for a long period of time and running out of some 2 part or something that drops your alk 1-2 points. Where normally this wouldn’t be a crazy big deal might turn into a big shock for the tank. Future reefcentral headlines. “Alk drops to 7.1 and wipes tank” 😂

I posted them above. Tested at 5.9

Well I made sure to get a trident on release day because I’m lazy with testing... so either this weekend during maintenance time or when stuff looked pissed off and I decided to test haha. I got my dos hooked up and running so it’s already fixing the tank for me which is nice. The calcium and mag tested fine on the new batch so I’ll just add a bit of alk buffer to my water changes until I get through this box. Truthfully I think apex and their trident is single handily going to keep my sps alive/growing 😂

Didn’t have lower salinity, always check with a refractometer. And for an update to this I just mixed up a fresh 5 gallon and got 5.9alk with sailfert test kit. Looks like I got a bad batch. Yes blue box, tested new batch at 5.9. On the plus side, already digging the trident for these random mishaps. I’ve used rpm forever without issues, it just happened to catch one bad batch. So that’s a win in my book 👍😁

I have a feeling this is what I’m going to find. I’ve never had an issue with this salt and this was the first batch from a new box.

Everything in the tank looks fine, saw nothing weird until the trident did it’s testing and sent me an alert. Will be interesting to test a fresh batch tonight

I do, I’ll make up some new water tonight and test it tomorrow morning.

I’ve been using fritz for awhile now and love it. Opened a new box this weekend and did a water change on the tank with it. The alk is suppose to be 8.5 when mixed up. Well after a 20 gallon water change my alk dropped a fair bit, alk and calcium should have gone up. Ill have to make up a 5 gallon bucket and test it tonight to see what’s up. You can see where I changed the water, it tested and immediately kicked the doser on

Should have updated this but that’s what happened, took about a week of looking weird then it was back to normal with a baby next to it. Pretty cool

Mine is set to the standard 4x per day and it’s on track for their specified timeline
