Love every stream

Sand sifting cucumber are awesome. Def get one. Maybe not for a new reefer but anyone that’s been in the hobby for awhile and can see problems should def get one

Cant beat the tropic Marin hydrometer

Cant get one shipped without breaking either...

Faulty or non calibrated equipment is worst. I had to .1030. And lost flame angelfish to it. I had to to dump two full 5 gallon buckets of RODI plus 7 or 8 gallon separately few hours early and then did a water changes. The devices need to be calibres regularly. Sometimes you need to keep checking regularly manually to make sure it doesn’t goes wrong. I learned the hard way. But the RODI made my calcium which was plus 500 drop to 450. 😂

How often should I be vacuuming my sandbed realistically? I do it about every week or 2 during my water changes. I change out 10=15% every week and I vacuum then, sometimes skipping a week. Do you think it would be a good plan if I do it once a month?

[@jahsreef8386]

I would say once a month would be good. If you can do half every two weeks that would be better

That Hanna salinity pen is WAY off, according to alot of reviews. I personally have had 2 of them that read 2 or 3 points low, and yes they were calibrated.

If people want to break bad habits they need to stop listening to every so called expert youtuber.

Never trust anyone who claims to be An expert ! In this hobby you will never know it all :)
