Only tang I can have, think my tanks big enough?
Well if you go by @JoJosReef stocking plan I think you have room for a few :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

But they're all fine and happy, I can tell. It's all about your rockscape.

40 breeders are versatile tanks, if anything, I'm understocked and am considering adding a gem and an Achilles.

Okay, so I need to adjust the lighting. lol. That par reading is in the center of the tank, 10" off the sand bed...

Don't mind the ph, I've been blacked out and it is rising.

I was on my way put the door, when this guy arrived. Errands are slightly delayed, but for surprise coral, I'll deal with it!

Disregard the diatoms. That's been an ongoing battle. It's acclimated and in. I'll move it to its final destination and repair the break later on this afternoon. Don't want to light shock it.

Oh, yeah. It's a game changer.
What else can I add to mine to help me feel "game changed"?

I'm not using mine to potential, I guess. Only thing that's being "controlled" is my heater. Plus heat and pH monitoring.

Depends on your goal. I run orp dependent scripts for ozone, ph dependent scripts for kalk, CaRx, ATO top off, and regular monitoring. Temp dependent fail safes for heaters and lighting. Float switches for ato and skimmer overflow. I monitor dissolved O2 with control overrides to restart the skimmer if it is in on off state. Par values. Breakout boxes for a number of things. To include contact sensors that trip stand lighting and intrusion alerts. I control all lighting and flow... lots of stuff. Lol

Most of that is I think more complex than my needs. I would like to figure out notifications for temperature though, in the event of failure I guess? Currently running a titanium heater controlled they the apex.

Temp, lights and salinity are what I wanna monitor. Also a better plug solution than what I have currently.
