I love this coral but its just too big for my tank.

No hit on the water bill. I use the waste water to water the lawn and plants. You can do a lot of clever things with a float valve and a Brute trash can, so you always have a lot of water on hand for maintenance and incase of emergency.

At that rate you are spending $195 a year not including gas and time to drive to the store. If I where you I'd keep an eye out for a used RO/DI. I bought a used RO/Di and a mixing station for $125 and the media on the RO/DI where brand new.

How much do you use a week?

How much do they charge for fresh RO/DI water?

Got an Apex A3 and a Trident so I will be setting that up and some other stuff for this weekend. Calibrate DOS (Ran new lines that are a lot longer) Pull out Calurpa (Taking Algae filter / fuge off line, i don't think its doing anything) Vac detritus in sump, or pull it out and hose it off in the yard (PM schedule) Deep clean skimmer (PM schedule) Swap out GFO & Carbon (PM schedule) Fill auto feeders (PM schedule)

If there where more feed timers those could be repurposed to do pre-programmed things. Calcium = 380 FT12 = Re-Test FT13 = Add 10ml FT14 = Add 25ml Time = 15:00 FT15 = DOS run 1 gal FT16 = DOS run 2 gal FT17 = DOS run 3 gal

With an Apex A3 is it possible to have the Apex ask you questions, that the answer to will preform a function (or not). Example - At 15:00 everyday it'll ask you a yes/no question "Would you like to preform a 3 gallon AWE - Yes / No? or "How many gallons would you like me to AWE = (input XX gallons)? Or "Your Calcium is 380 would you like me to add 45ml of Part B Yes / No" Or multiple choice "Your Calcium is 380" would you like to - Do nothing - Test Again - Add 22.5ml - Add 45ml"

Where are you located?

I price corals bases on how fast they grow, if "Jaw Breaker" mushroom anemones grow fast in my tank I'll sell them for $5 each or give away floaters. If Monti cap grows too fast and I have to break pieces off so it doesn't start a fight with its neighbor I give it away. I don't think a fancy made up trade name should command a higher price, IMO if it grows fast or slow for me that's what the price is based on. As for wild collected corals - I agree and I think a person can put together a REALLY nice tank with 100% Aquaculture corals.

I just heard about these on the Reef Beef pod cast and they are certainly on my list when it comes time to upgrade. Based on the spreadsheet data they absolutely destroy my AI Hydras.
