So I am replacing my 5 gallon buckets of esv 2 part.
the alk ran out completely the calcium bucket still had some. these 5 gallon buckets lasted me almost a year lol.
I also picked up two Kessil 360x so now all my tanks have lights.
I moved a tang over and I am moving some frags slowly.
I am a big kalk fan. I dose it at night with a doser.
kalk is so cheap I paid $30 for a bucket and I still have a year later.
I feel like everyone should be dosing kalk to help with the stability in all tanks.
I have my apex monitor my ph. I have a Hanna ph pen just for back up.
I also own a seneye that also test ph and I use all of them to check each other lol

Iodine, bromine and other trace elements.
run another test in a a few months and see where you are
South Jersey has some respectable reefers.
I line in the middle I have easy access to north and south with no problem.
If you move to fl you will be fine. You have a big reefing community down there.
1)I need it to fit under a stand and the rubber maid tubs are high.
2) I need a sump that has different chambers. Having a large tub doesn’t work for that.
3) I like to run a refugium so I would like a separate refugium chamber.
4) it’s hard to keep the water level for the skimmer. A sump with...
I have a huge 100 gallon acrylic sump with two returns.
my current sump is 48” long. My sump is good but I need some thing that not as tall.
If a could find something like this I would be happy.
If I could find something that’s 60” instead of 72 that would be great...
