Don't calibrate with RO/DI. With the fluid, I know mine reads 35 ppt at 77°F. I stick the whole bottle in my tank to get it to temp. If your house is...

You don't need an Apex! I made my own using an STC-1000 controller. Or Azoo makes a micro temp controller for relatively cheap. Either are about the...
Sorry Marty, I meant the poster after you [emoji6]
Good call. Nothing good happens fast in this hobby!
I would recommend getting a controller of some kind to control your heater(s). Way too many stories of heaters staying on and cooking tanks.
How much do you feed them though, what and quantity?

Welcome, and thank you for your service!

More than likely they are 3 watt LED's. Many fixtures use those but only run at around 2 watts each. Nothing wrong with this. I use three of these...
I agree, the only thing I see is the low temp. I keep mine lower than most, around 76, but I still see decent growth. 72 is definitely lower than I...
Sounds like a plan to me. The issues are the same with any nano, keeping parameters inline, including temperature, salinity, calcium, alkalinity,...
Ya, between work picking up like crazy, and now having two kids, it leaves me little time to get online much. Trying to get back on here more and...
Sorry, I meant dosing calcium/alkalinity. I would get your salinity verified. Your numbers seem much too high to be at 1.023.
So... Are you dosing? If not, what salt are you using? What is your salinity, and how do you check it?
I use an SC 301 on my 50. Great simmer I think! I dry skim, and still have to empty the cup weekly.
I have chalice envy :)
Care to post any pictures of what you did?
I wouldn't without an exhaust fan. Saltwater is very corrosive obviously, and confining a sump in the room would make the air itself corrosive. That...
