    What went wrong here?????

    FWIW I would assume your tank is OK. Sometimes coral close up for funky reasons. :)

    What went wrong here?????

    Are you only adding Calcium? What about Alkalinity and Magnesium? It's possible you threw off the chemistry balance if you're just dosing Calcium....

    Acan not opening up fully

    If you've doublechecked all of your parameters and haven't changed anything major lately I wouldn't be too concerned. You could maybe run some carbon...

    Acros receding/STN from base, what to do???

    I'm not sure I can help you but I would just like to point out that I think STN/RTN are a symptom of a problem, not a problem in and of itself. They...

    do i need to cycle?

    I would always assume at least a small cycle will take place, even "dead" rock can have organics on/in it that will begin to decompose in a new tank...

    Plumbing screw up? Or is it ok?

    Sounds good, one thing for future use is that any plumbing inside the tank/overflow area does not need to be cemented, since it's all going to be wet...

    My 10 Gallon (Part II)

    Plumbing screw up? Or is it ok?

    I think it's fine, it's just a siphon break, you will need a hole in the top like in the first pic though to allow some air to get into it when it's...

    For The Experienced Only

    I wouldn't trust it either. When working with a straight siphon without an emergency drain you're risking floods IMO. As the plumbing breaks in...

    What to do with effluent?

    RKL Module?? Salinity or ORP, which test is more useful?

    I would go for salinity over ORP unless you're running ozone like said before. I think ORP is something you can affect less than salinity and I would...

    Koralia snail guard?

    What to buy, RKL controller or MP20???

    I agree, I would vote for the RKL with pH probe and the Net addon before ORP/salinity probes. You can get good results from Koralias and nothing...
