    Automated Salt Dispenser Interest/Existance?

    No interest here, automated water changes yes, mixing no. To many potential pitfalls and relatively slight changes in salinity can be catastrophic.

    Help and no laughing

    Yeah, easier if you can feed 10-20x per day and maintain "SPS" water quality.... I.e. sorry, but they do not generally survive in mixed reef...

    Phosphate

    How long should I leave each light on?

    Most of our corals come from reefs near the equator. So, 12 hours on light per day. Personally, I like the first and last few hours to be actinic,...

    New Fish Tank Coffe Table from AquaVim

    Lighting would be a PITA, but you could go LED. There are some non-aquarium supply companies that sell really narrow optics, like 3-7 degrees. So,...

    New Fish Tank Coffe Table from AquaVim

    Addition of GFO

    It's possible the dust could cause algae, if there is an iron limitation, as it may be a source of iron. However, if you lower the P enough, so,...
