The x3 pack has the PH monitor and temp i think you can add in a probe for salinity in one of the "sense" ports.

Bout to fill the display fuge with some more fun stuff. and any overflow is going to the sump with that winning @Reef Breeders pico I won! @Daniel@R2R

 

[Nate Chalk]

Moved chaeto and extra algae to sump.

New macros and stuff come tomorrow. Might need another rock in there to fit it all. A display fuge keeps me busy while coral grows.

Once the reef breeders light comes in the mail I'll move zoas frags to the rack I moved there and chaeto will stay.

Or something idk yet...

I was going to give you a GC if you still hadn't received it.

you get something once your tank is back on track brother

I probably will. It's weird because some stuff is going absolutely crazy right now while other stuff is just slowly fading away

Have you icp tested or anything?

That usually puts me back on track

No. I probably need to I've considered it I just see too many people do an ICP and go down a rabbit hole. I've got 3 struggling corals out of my whole tank. I'm afraid if I ICP and start messing with things I could easily make it worse.

Display fuge is over filled now. Gulf coast ecosystems order came. Everything was way more than I thought I'd get and I have extra brushes and more that idk what to do with .

But it was better priced than cherry picking species. So I have extra in the sump right now. Waiting on the pico light I won. Might honestly throw some of the extras out.

Tangs eat extras too haha

Gorgs are every bit 8+ inches I still need some sand or substrate eventually.

Ball sponge looks really cool. Wonder how long it'll keep.

I run carbon 24/7 and it's down the line in the sump from this tank. So should keep any issues away. Man it looks so cool...

Here's my thought, don't knee jerk reaction.

What if your other corals need some of what's missing? Iodine something easy.

Or calcium is lower than you think or mag lower.

That wouldn't nuke other corals. Make the change overtime.
