You don't need it. Minimal value to the most systems.

I am in

Maybe it just need some time. Mine opens when I feed the fish sometimes. Yours look ok to me.

I feed mine during the day. Put a container on top of it with a hole. Then put the food in with a turkey baster and blow gently. I haven't fed it for a while though. It gets old pretty fast.

I have a mushroom rock fist size covered in blue/purple rhodactis, gold clove polyps and other random frags. I am in Holmdel. PM if interested.

I would say it's nice to have but not really that useful unless you keep a lot of SPS. You will know you need it when you need it :)

PH is more useful. Salinity does not change much between WC if you have a decent ATO. Even PH is not necessary unless you're keeping SPS. I use it to check ALK indirectly.

AKA "skip a mortgage payment" blasto :p

Good choice on the tank. The red sea tanks are so slick. Can't wait to see it's setup. I would remove the mat. 1. It's ugly. 2. Water trapped underneath your floor is ruined. Just put a couple of towels around the tank when you work on it you will be fine.

Make sure you use the two outlets with mechanical relays. Also, a while ago I set the doser to the on position and got distracted and 1 liter of ALK was dosed. After that incident I figured out how to make Apex send an email and txt when the dosers are on for x number of minutes. So in case you...

Using BRS dosers for 2 years now. No complaints.

Do you plan to build this yourself? Probably need a lot of practice before doing it for real. If you get the right sponge you probably don't need to maintain it for years. I would have the return on one side of the wall producing a circular flow in the tank. You need to address flow problems...

Mark - very interesting. A world of possibilities. First for the tank setup. Most of the freshwater setups are horrendous. Wires all over the place. Multiple tubes in the tank. To avoid this you can build an all in one tank. It's super easy. Use a 4" sponge as a wall (I have the sponge you need...

Yes but a lot of interesting fish are hit or miss. Be prepared to taken it out if it starts nipping. Usually a little nipping is ok

Dwarf Angels!

How low is your ph? Some people bring in outside air to feed the skimmer. Ph is just a function of alkalinity and co2 level. Open the window to let some fresh air in also helps.

Yes I tested it out works great. Both skimmer and pump went to good home. Still have the tanks. I can bring to meeting if anyone is interested. I already have a lot of pipette.

Looking forward to this. I am almost positive I can make this. I have golden clove coral looking to trade for the green kind. Also looking to trade for interesting stuff.

Btw I want your mystery wrasse assuming it's not the Kenya version if you decided to let it go.

Melanarus wrasse is very cool and peaceful. Some of the smaller blennies. There are many different kinds. Trops has ORA yellow striped goby that I have been thinking about since I saw them at macna.
