Did you use the Copy button to apply the settings from one Radion to the next? I hope you didn’t actually make all the settings manually on each light.

Looks great! Nice job on the light mounts. Do you have a PAR meter?

Happy birthday, Holly! I miss seeing you and your amazing tank & corals! Hope you have a fun day. 🥳

Please don't post ads in the General Discussion forum. I'm moving this to the Classifieds forum.

I misunderstood your post title...

I'm sad...It's 5:00pm and I have no new prizes to announce. This was a fun event. I hope you all enjoyed it, even if you didn't win.

On the Twelfth Day of Giving my reef club gave to @CoralReefTankers ... a Neptune Trident! Congratulations! Your prize is available at Cuttlefish & Corals. Note: The Trident requires an Apex 2016 or Apex-EL to function. I can’t remember if you already have an Apex or not. If you need any help configuring your Trident or any other Apex programming, I’m available and always happy to assist. Congratulations to all the Twelve Days winners! Thank you all for being PNWMAS supporting members! And a big Thank You to my fellow Board Members and club Officers for organizing this event. 2020 has been an incredibly difficult year, and we all miss having our monthly club meetings and seeing all of your beautiful reef tanks in person. I’m hopeful for better times in 2021, and look forward to seeing all of you in person in the future. Happy Holidays, and HAPPY REEFING!

Who is excited??? 🥳

Countdown to the 12th Day Grand Prize:

If I really wanted to be a Grinch, I could have tagged everyone who did NOT win on the announcement. 🤣

On the Eleventh Day of Giving my reef club gave to @susp1cious ... a VorTech MP40 powerhead! Congratulations! Your prize is available at Cuttlefish & Corals. Since you're located in Olympia, contact @Higher Thinking if you want to coordinate shipping. The drawing for the BIG 12th DAY PRIZE is tomorrow at 5:00pm!!!!

On the Tenth Day of Giving my reef club gave to @NateDawg ... a Nero 5 powerhead! Congratulations! Your prize is available at Cuttlefish & Corals. The next drawing is tomorrow at 5:00pm.

Don't forget to dip first!

I'm confused...The screenshots you showed above are for modifying a DOS interval, which you typically access by clicking the gear icon on the DOS output slider on the desktop. How did you get to it otherwise? If the tiles are not on the dashboard, then follow these steps to add them: 1. Click the padlock icon on your Fusion dashboard to unlock it. That will reveal the Unused Tiles window at the top of the screen. 2. Scroll left to right to find the DOS tiles, then click and drag them down onto the dashboard. 3. Click the padlock icon again when done. Once the tiles are on the dashboard, set them to AUTO. Otherwise it will never run according to the schedule.

Looks great! Let me know if you need any help or advice on the Apex programming. If you haven't seen my Apex tutorials, here's the link: https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/authors/suncrestreef.93940/

Are the two DOS output sliders set to AUTO on your Fusion dashboard?

Is this a prank, or am I missing something?

On the Ninth Day of Giving my reef club gave to @Micah ... a Milwaukee digital refractometer! Congratulations! Your prize is available at Cuttlefish & Corals. The next drawing is tomorrow at 5:00pm.

Using DOS Profiles and programming is the old way to do it. Instead, it's much simpler to just run the DOS Automatic Water Change task in Fusion: The DOS User Guide was written before Fusion Tasks were invented, so it's outdated. In Fusion, just go to the Tasks list and click DOS Automatic Water Change, then follow the on-screen instruction.

April 22, 2020: December 9, 2020:

Here are some photos of the damage. Not pictured are whole colonies that have already been removed from the tank. You'll notice a lot of bubble and other algae due to the high nutrients. But not everything is bad. Here are a few that seem to be OK, or only a tiny bit of recession:

Wow, what a cutie! Congratulations! 🥳

Thanks Bill. Glad to hear the Tricolor is doing well. Sounds like my lifeboat strategy could pay off later.

What's funny is that the Frammer I got from you is still growing like crazy. I think corals from your tank have been conditioned to live through nearly everything. 🤣

Thank you all for your kind words and advice. And a big Thank You to @EMeyer for your extra analysis of my history of microbiome test results. Perhaps I should send in another sample to see how things have progressed since the August sample. Are you running another test batch soon? To answer some of the questions posed above: 1. I've been using Red Sea Coral Pro salt, and I've gone through several buckets in the time I've been losing corals, so I don't think it's a bad batch of salt. 2. None of my fish nip at the corals. Here's my fish collection: 2 clowns, kole tang, diamond goby, tailspot blenny, blue chromis, yellow watchman goby, mandarin goby. 3. I have not added any new fish or corals during this time. 4. I have not done anything that would cause a rapid swing of parameters. I've been reducing PO4 slowly. 5. Both SPS and LPS have been impacted. Some acro's died from the base up, others died from the tips down. Lobo's and plate corals receded from the edges. 6. I run a UV sterilizer 24/7. 7. I do not run ozone. I know a few of you took some frags from my tank early this year right before or perhaps shortly after the problem started. I'm curious how those frags have held up, and hopefully nothing bad got transferred to your tanks. Just to be clear...I AM NOT GIVING UP! I'm not going anywhere. I still love this hobby and all of the wonderful people I have met through the reefing community. I'm just frustrated and saddened by the losses. My tank right now pretty much sums up 2020.
