Mother-in-Law's 40 Breeder Build (1 Viewer)

Put it on a timer to go for a few times each night. Eventually you dial in the length of time needed to match the daily evaporation. That way it's the same every day and it's very hard to overdose.

If there is a tiny difference day to day or during the seasons you can add the extra rodi manually.

Thanks for the tip, seems like it'll take some tinkering but I like the idea.

Gotta play with the rw-8s a bit more for the sand apparently. But here's the gyst so far.

Mild cycling still occurring at this point, however we have been slowing adding a little livestock here and there. Tank currently has the clowns, blue damsel, and now a longnose Hawk in it. Also added a couple LPS pieces to see how everything fairs. Next step is setting up the ATO, just gotta think about incorporating Kalkwasser.

Have added some coral over the last month. Mostly LPS. Everything seems to be doing good. Hawkfish jumped through a .25" gap to its demise sadly. Here's a current FTS.

This tank is doing well. All LPS appear to be thriving. Set up an ato finally a month or so ago. biweekly water changes is about it for maintenance. Probably will need to do some fragging come fall swap time. Funny thing, the mil mentioned she "might need a bigger tank." Lol

Looking good, Jake!

That's what we like to hear!

Thanks, I thought that was a fun thought. Except I'm the maintenance guy. They just get the joy of looking at a nice reef.

Fun day. Added one of Chads baby dottybacks, a yellow fiji leather, a branching flowerpot, and a tiny rockflower anemone.

Tank update: have spent the last few months getting everything dialed in as far as dosing, nutrient import and export, etc. Finally feeling like the tank is stable. livestock is doing well, corals growing. Current fish are a pair of Ocellaris clowns, a starry blenny, orchid dottyback, citron goby, green clown goby, a couple emerald crabs, sea urchin, red sea serpent star, snails, and a couple of peppermint shrimp...Which found the large shrimp carrying eggs today. Fun stuff! Would like to get a leopard wrasse and a dwarf angelfish in the future, other than that lps dominant, always looking for the right specimens.
