Looking forward to the new build idea doing it a little differently

[@ReefDudes]

Me to! nice to freshen it up and spark the up the passion a bit! I loooooove the build, plus its fun to hunt new coral again!

[@justinthibodeaux1460]

Love the update!

[@ReefDudes]

Thanks!

Amazing tank I love it… are those green slimers????

[@ReefDudes]

The sure are! Hard to beat that neon green pop. You can see it from across the house

[@jmeista4240]

Hey Devin Your tank looks really beautiful. Just wondering, if you have any suggestions? On trying to either eradicate or some how really keep them under control Vermited snails. Thanks

[@ReefDudes]

Thank you! I actually did a video on that a few months back. A mix of bumble snails and the diy coral snow dosing work wonders to take out the majority of them

You could be having palytoxins in your aquarium because of the zoas being chocked out by the goni and thats why your sps is receding

[@ReefDudes]

It’s only the one acro so I don’t think it’s anything tank wide

No ozone anymore?

[@ReefDudes]

It still has ozone nightly as well

[@RedMarineFish]

Oh I see that there is no carbon on the skimmer. I would like to take this opportunity to ask that im just add an ozone generator(Weipro around 70Mg/H) and ORP controller to my tank. But ORP still stayed at around 230-240 which I have run it two days, Is it any problem? Or do I need more time to let the machine run statable? Thank you!

[@ReefDudes]

@@RedMarineFish I only run mine in the middle of the night when no one is around the tank. The number doesnt really matter as long as it to high.. roughly what % are you running it at? and how big is your tank? are you seeing the water clarity benefits yet? how long are you running it for?

[@RedMarineFish]

​@@ReefDudes I'm running at around 70Mg/H in 100-gallon tanks 24/7. And ORP stays at around 250. But it already increases after I add the ozone generator(22X to 25X ORP). I have seen someone say that: 1. If the ORP never seems to rise above 375 mV after initiating ozone, do not worry about controlling the ozone or the ORP. Just let it run full out. Also, do not worry about needing a larger generator, assuming it has driven up the ORP by at least 25 mV above where it was before adding ozone. It is likely accomplishing the necessary tasks (such as making the water clearer). Only if some other aspect of ozone use is unsatisfying (e.g., lack of water clarity) would I look for other options such as a larger ozone generator or a better contact chamber. 2. If the ORP starts above 375 mV, or rises there during ozone use, using an ORP controller would be valuable to prevent the ORP from rising too high. Use the controller to shut off the ozone when the ORP rises too high. Another option would be to shut off the airflow to save the dryer's media, but be sure that water cannot flow back into the ozone generator if the air stops. I would set the ORP target somewhat above the baseline ORP in the absence of ozone - at least 350 mV, maybe 400 mV, but never above 450 mV. Also, I heard someone say that ORP Probe needs to wait for one 1week to let it run stable and show the right value of ORP. So I think I need more time to observe. Do you have some suggestions?

can you give an update on your kalkwasser stirrer (still using avast marine), how much kalkwasser you're using in the stirrer, and how much you're dosing daily?
