I have too many aquariums to keep up with and have a baby on the way. I have to make some sacrifice

Great build, very inspiring for my upcoming build. Don't get upset on the algae, I think we all have been through some plagues in our tanks. Nothing good happens fast lol
Again great build
Invest in a generator, you can get an electrician to hook up an outlet to directly plug in your whole house for a few hundred bucks and a modest generator will keep your essentials going. Tanks, fridge, heat, ac, etc. For less than 1000 bucks you never have to worry as long as you're home to...
UPDATE, first off, thank you everyone for chiming in. Talking to you guys is gold, so thank you for bouncing ideas to me. At LFS, they have confirmed my refractometer is junk. (Red sea) they tried to calibrate it then tested their apex controlled tank and it was .004 off. Then used solution and...
No top offs this week. I always check SG before manually topping off. I also heat and run a power head in my mixing buckets until temp matches tank.
The refractometer is junk. I'm not sure why you guys trust it so much. Anything that has to be calibrated can break. I deal with bad tools all the...
I used 35ppt fluid to calibrate. I just checked with my hydrometer and it is reading 1.025 SG and refractometer is reading 1.021 SG. Doesn't make much sense for refractometer to be bad, but it also doesn't make sence for SG to just drop. I may have to buy another refractometer and check it vs...
After skimming the internet for a bit, it seems the red sea refractometer may just be a piece of junk and my tank may be fine. I think I will be stopping at my LFS to complain about this $60 paperweight they sold me

No dosing, just weekly water changes. Only 2 things I've done differently is change brands of salt and calibrate my refractometer. I am starting to suspect the refractometer. I used 35ppt solution and even tried RO water to see the difference but both calibrate it to the same readings for RO or...
Normally yes, but all week SG has been low...so every 1-2 days I have just been doing water changes to try and get back to 1.025. Seems like I'm just going in circles because it just keeps dropping

Okay some I'm new to reefing and maybe I'm doing something wrong or I am watching all my levels too much. Last few days my SG keeps getting low. For example today it was 1.023 and I want it to be 1.025.
I have a 32 gallon biocube and did a 5 gallon water change.
I mixed a bucket of 1.026 and...
If no one bites on the tank, I am starting a collection for a fish room build when I move into my new house. Always looking for another tank.
