my true percs were attacking my tangs and they got banished to a 15g. year later i made a mistake and they died of asphyxiation. bought a single red sea clown, the tangs let her have it one night and she never recovered, eventually died several months later. have a pair of spotcinctus in the...
i think its important to have a test kit, but i doubt you need a doser at that size. i mean i guess you could get a simple one part. but really your 5g water changes are probably fine. if you arent chasing numbers and everything looks happy then let it be?
i think i have that one - or at least one that looks like it, probably they all look alike. theres a few timers around here that i have never used. not even sure how i got them. question though, can i do a 4 hour on 4 hour off with that one?

i was doing 10g every week until i installed the refugium because my nitrates were running between 20 and 40ppm, and now i am doing 5g every 2 weeks. tds meter.
i have a mexican turbo in there and he is more trouble than he is worth tbh - i wont move him as he'd have to go into qt. i have a...
super interesting re: dinos. 99% of the bubbles are gone today - though i just turned on the lights an hour ago. lets see if they return this evening. i do not run any white lights in the tank.
