Honestly.... probably toast.

Is it really needed?? No.

Yes, I like to know the salinity is right.

Update of Aqua closet

AWC update,
Found myself new salt water a reservoir, tomorrow I will build the base.

 

[jsker]

Ca 475 turn down more
Alk 10.4 turn down more
Mg 1500 turn down more
Po4 .06
Nitrates 10 on a new Elos test kit. Like this one, quick and easy
PH 8.01
Salinity 1026 need to get that down also.

Thank looks good, I do have some cyano but not like in the past.
Sensor is not in the sump and reservoir. Just need the break out bar and to finish out a couple more things and I am in business with the auto water change.

I do have to say, that the PH probe is spot on with apex. It took me a couple of times and the key for me was to wait a couple of minutes to let the probe settle instead of on the videos of a couple of seconded.
I have to get some more conductivity calibration fluid just to be sure, but the probe seam to also be right on.

I am very excited to get everything plumbed and tuning.

I need to figure out how to keep one of the tubes submerged in the sump. Any ideas?

Nice work @jsker ! !

Use a probe holder to keep it submerged?
