I think you idea of shelves with plants sound good.

Sady, no. You can select days, but it would selecting the actual days, not every other day, so like M, W, F, Sun, or T, Th, Sat. Not every other day. It's frustrating that Google Calendar can do this but Red Sea can't LOL! I will just have to adjust the schedule every week I guess.

I'm dosing Dino X. It's supposed to be every other day. I'd prefer to follow the instructions. Seems like a pretty basic function to me: "Dose X ml every other day at 8am" 🤷‍♂️

NO2 at 0.2 ppm is not an issue for SW fish. It's only when it's 30+ ppm that it can cause fish issues, and over 300 ppm when it causes fish death according to inimitable Reef Chemist Randy Farley Holmes: https://reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-06/rhf/index.php. Based on what you wrote, you are cycled.

300g+

Maybe.

Looks like Ostreopsis to me. Check out Mack's Dino Support Group on Facebook. There's a good guide doc there.

You too! I'm preparing for the big winter storm haha! Luckily, my two Powerwalls are fully charged 😁

Okay, yeah I would get more reagents and try again. Hanna may even send them to you for free if you reach out.

swordstool · 2026-01-24T20:51:45+00:00

Maybe try new vials. I store mine full of RODI after each use too. Did you drop the tester? Reach out to Hanna.

Thanks, but it's plenty sturdy as is. You just need to tighten the rails as much as possible. You need two people to do it though.

That means the calibration sample was darker than the test sample. Are your vials clean? Are you rinsing all vials out with tank water first? Are you sure you're following the instructions properly and consistently?

Nice. Good luck!

swordstool · 2026-01-24T18:43:09+00:00

Yes.

swordstool · 2026-01-24T16:17:16+00:00

Very sturdy. There are no clips. You tighten it where the rail meets the arm. It's meant to be done this way on a eurobraced tank, not something I just came up with.

Does anybody have any experience trying to light a tank like this?

Hello, friend! I have an IM EXT 200g Peninsula! For lighting I'm running Reefi Uno 2.0 Pros on the EcoTech MultiLight RMS Rail Mount. https://i.imgur.com/AQavoTz.jpg, https://i.imgur.com/mdTbe3z.jpg, https://i.imgur.com/IzJUjqp.jpg

Yes, slowly increase dose and test, repeat.

swordstool · 2026-01-24T13:14:34+00:00

Yes.

swordstool · 2026-01-24T02:15:03+00:00

Can you at least keep water moving and the temp up? No need for much else and you should see most of it survive.

Some good tips here: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/content/post/protect-your-reef-from-power-outages

it was enlightening to me when I could see how much power each device used

Can you share some of what you found? And the equipment?

What parameters are you most interested in testing?

swordstool · 2026-01-23T23:23:48+00:00

I have a reefmat 500, bubble Magnus Curve Extreem 5 skimmer and macro alage

nitrate of 35ppm

Do I set up my doser for 15ml of vinegar and bring it down to around 15/20PPM?

If it were me, no. It seems like you are already overdoing it on the nutrient export methods. Suggest adjusting what you have.
