Mine swings more. It's linked to temperature swings. I set the salinity and ignore it. If your system monitors salinity, as with an Apex, salinity changes with the tank temp.Sg 32.5-35 (slow gradual swings)
Thats a pretty big swing for Salinity. Do you have a ATO
I do have an ato. I'd say a swing takes 2-3mo to happen, it's slow. Day to day it's maybe 0.2-0.4 swing (with temp). The swing above happens over a lot of time from salt creep and whatnot. I've been doing a better job keeping it near 35 lately.Sg 32.5-35 (slow gradual swings)

It’s true that temperature can affect salinity readings, but it will have NO effect on the actual salinity.Mine swings more. It's linked to temperature swings. I set the salinity and ignore it. If your system monitors salinity, as with an Apex, salinity changes with the tank temp.
I have a wyze cam set 24x7 with motion detection on certain corals. They don't nip.The swings are not helping with salinity but potters and possible copperband may be part of the issue. Are they?
Set your cell phone on video mode for about 60 mins and walk away - YOU MUST walk away as they know youre there. Review the video thereafter and see who may be nipping, If they are
Correct. That's why I said I set it and then ignore it.It’s true that temperature can affect salinity readings, but it will have NO effect on the actual salinity.
I never said you won’t get fluctuations in salinity readings. I just said that temperature alone cannot cause them to actually fluctuate (in real life).Correct. That's why I said I set it and then ignore it.

What are you raising your levels to?IMO If you don't have problems with parasites or fishnip and parameters then this seems to be a problem directly related to the correlation between light and nutrition. This issue probably needs a more professional explanation. I had the same problem as you and resolved it after slowly raising my NP level, my Par level was at 350-500.
I went from NO3 4ppm, PO4 0.05 to NO3 30ppm, PO4 0.18ppm. I dosed ammonia daily and a little reefroid twice a week. This process went on for 2 months and now the PE has improved a lot. I guess the reason is that the light intensity is greater than the available nutrient level.What are you raising your levels to?
Or maybe the corals are realizing there's food in the water to catch(reef roids)? Like training nps corals to open during the day...I went from NO3 4ppm, PO4 0.05 to NO3 30ppm, PO4 0.18ppm.

I don't think so because before that I also used reefroid and phyto quite often. Corals always react to any type of food, including fish's pelletsOr maybe the corals are realizing there's food in the water to catch(reef roids)? Like training nps corals to open during the day...
For how long did you feed that same way?I don't think so because before that I also used reefroid and phyto quite often. Corals always react to any type of food, including fish's pellets
