I cannot for the life of me seem to keep / start any nitrate reading.
From everything I've read, I do need some for corals. My solo GH mushroom is thriving, not worried about the coral at all. But I want to add more softs.
I have had some slight swings with salinity creeping up to the 38ppt mark, working on different levels and adjusting my ATO float to fix this. It's slowly staying lower.
I'm doing a weekly 10-15% water change. 8-12Litres. Mixed with the standard Red Sea salt mix. I almost think I'm keeping it too clean, alternatively the algae might be altering the reading.
I’m new to this. I’ve had this zoanthid for about 2 months. A piece broke off so I glued it to a frag holder. Will this grow?
cleaning day. still fighting the vermetid snails. I have at least 30 bubble bee snails. but I still don't see progress. I just make sure nothing is bothering my corals. I run white light for 2 hours twice everyday. The rest of the time the tank is blue. I wonder how others deal with vermetid snails. I really don't want to pour anything into the tank. every 3 months I take out the rock work and scrap them off. they just keep coming back. but Corals are expanding and doing well.
Really loving the new Orange Rhodactis Mushroom 🙌🏾
Is this too much flow for a tubipora?
I think my 75 gallon FOWLR is finally ready! This is my first saltwater system, I have more than a dozen freshwater aquariums.
I started the process back in mid-May, dark curing sterile reef rock in my basement. Most of the summer was spent water testing this setup out in my garage while also replacing all of the flexible vinyl tubing with rigid PVC. I set it up in its current space in the house last weekend only to realize the EShopps Eclipse L overflow was leaking due to a broken bulkhead nut (rookie overtightening mistake.) The replacements came yesterday and I finally got it all back up and running. Excited to do a final ammonia test and then start introducing fish that have already completed QT.
So happy with my 2 year old reef
Here is my upgraded 125 gallon reef tank with a 40g breeder sump!
Makes you wonder how these things have survived for millions of years?

I am building a Zoanthids Morph analyzer with machine learning and AI. It’s pretty good so far… but I need more Zoanthid from real tanks!
Please go to the Library Tab -> Zoa ID and upload as many images of zoanthids that you own. You can also label the image if you know the color morph.
The Zoanthid Morph tool will be FREE for all users once it’s launched.
I appreciate your help!
