Pure tank envy and i am going to do a bare bottom Seahorse tank after my Jelly tank build next.

your tank is awesome

My tank almost overflowed today. The ato line must have siphoned since it fell into the water. Salinity dropped to 1.021, so I did a water change and raised it up to 1.024. I also added some salt to the ato reservoir so hopefully it’ll raise the salinity back up to 1.026. Everything looks fine though. Whew!

Apparently it was the list of fish he already had...I made the same mistake too lol

Lol, you and @Bleigh are like my kids. Skimming thought the list and calling out fish Chris already has. Thanks for the chuckle.

Right! I thought the dang overflow box lost siphon until I saw that my sump water level was high too

Good catch. I would’ve just sprinkled some salt in... no, just joking. Don’t do that. I wonder how many people out there have done that before to bring salinity up. It’s always a good idea to have at least 10% of back up water for emergencies.

Lol true. I did see some mod adds salt to his filter sock if the salinity is low. I thought that was questionable, maybe it’s ok, who knows!

If it works, it works. But salt takes a long time to dissolve completely. Supposedly Red Sea blue bucket takes a whole day to completely dissolve. I’d bet you’d have alk swings depending on how much is added.
