None ever showed any sign of disease. The foxface is the newest and was quite thin/small but he's starting to fatten up.

Quick question Dennis... When you had your dino outbreak, were you using Fritz salt at that point?

Dennis,
I was reading somewhere that you had a small tank crash from a rusting magnet on your Nano mag? I had the same thing happen but it pretty much wiped out all my coral. Only coral standing strong is my leather coral and fish. How did you recover from this incident? |

In fact, I was doing Triton at the time so wasn't really doing water changes but the tank was probably filled with a mix of Tropic Marin and/or Salinity. My bad batch of Fritz with Magnesium way off the charts was more recent.

All my sps lost their slime coat. They all looked dry and kind of dandruffy if that makes sense. Some did RTN/STN. Some recovered. I didn't know what was going on and thought at first I was over doing it with GFO. It started with my Gorgonians all closing up. That's when I stopped using GFO all together. But the SPS situation wasn't changing. I finally found the mag issue. I pulled it out, skimmed REALLY wet for a bit and ran lots of carbon, changing every couple days. Almost immediately things started to look better. FWIW, I still use those dang algae clips. I can't help it... they're my favorite! lol They did improve the way they are sealed and I keep an eye on them. It would also help greatly to remove them each night but that's a PITA.

Always have admired your reefs D.
Love the Hawkfish. Mine has become monster sized. Mine is an Arc-eye and I have had him for 6 years. They have such personalities and he hangs on top of all my Large Leathers. I like how they kinda bounce up and down. Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk |

Dennis I'm gonna jump back to your ph if you don't mind. Your ph runs the same as mine 7.75-8. Do you find your corals grow slower at that range? I always see higher ph is better for faster growth but I wonder if higher ph just makes it easier for them to calcify but doesnt mean they actually grow faster. I curious as long as you have your alk a little high (9 dkh) it compensates for the low ph and you get the same growth.

Yeah I ordered some reef spec carbon. I bought another wet end to my nano mag lol. I love that algae magnet for small aquariums. I just take out after every use and inspect it to make sure it’s not rusting |

I try to keep my alk around 8. I seem to get better color there, vs keeping it higher.

Dennis, can you confirm what kind of cable you have connecting your Profilux to the Powerbars? I ordered some 6" Cat5e cables and GHL won't respond to my emails to confirm whether or not they are compatible. Thanks!

Am I correct in assuming the powerbars plug into the wall outlet and then the ethernet cables run from the powerbar to the Profilux? I planned on tethering the two powerbars and then only connecting one powerbar to the Profilux. Does this sound accurate?

How has the sump design performed? I see somewhere on pg 30 you dumped spray bar.
Any changes you would make? I assume you skimmer section is adjustable , range? Any concern with only one drain? Your build is awesome, thanks for taking the time to share knowledge and photo skills |

Binged and caught up, good call on reboot. Any design change advice? Not sure i am onboard with high flow, fuge in first chamber, mabe not best idea, debri dump. Smaller fuge can go dormant when nutrient are low verses a full crash, just my observation but never ran a large refugium but my fuge 8x14x11 deplete n&p and low nutrient starved lps. I think a hybrid berlin is the way to go

The only thing I wish I had is the room for a bigger sump. A little more room in the middle return section and a little more width on the fuge. But nothing I can do about that. Doing my best with the space I have.

If I have two powerbars, how do the sockets number themselves? 1-5 on the first strip, and then 6-10 on the second?

They will indeed continue counting... 1-5... 6-10... The dimable socket can be adjusted to a on/off socket as well. I use 3 powerbars. |

Hey Dennis, can you suggest an image hosting site for posting photos?
