What have you done to your set up today?

Built a stand for my water mixing station.

 

Today. For the 46 mixed 10 gallons of saltwater for a change.
for the 29 added about 9 pounds of new dry base rock

 

Got back in town from a 2 day camping trip.
Re-placed a few pieces of plating monti that had fallen,
Mag floated the glass,
paused my RP and feed the fish,
Checked the SG- spot on 35= 1.0265ish

 

Putzing with the calcium reactor. I added an Aqualifter as a feed pump. I'm considering a variable speed peristalic pump to get control over the flow through it. Cleaned the glass and stared at corals to make them grow.

 

Went to war with red bugs. They lost.

 

Manually topped off my water.

 

Morning routine.... shut off the power heads ( one switch kills both of them)... feed the fish ( in the dark) live brine shrimp...my reasoning... they wont pollute the tank before the fish find them because the lights will be out for a few more hours... go down stairs to the sump/refugium and kill the pump for the skimmer and display return pump... wash the skimmer cup ( while the display drains) then rinse the filter sock...( sure is handy having a sink in the basement).. replace sock and skimmer cup... fire up the "filters" ... once the flow starts and establishes the level, top off with 1/2 gallon of R/O/D/I water( I have a ATO but rarely use it).. go upstairs and turn on the power heads...the entire process takes less than 15 minutes...

 

Did my daily routine of filling a gallon jug of RO/DI for my Kalk drip.
It that jug I put 60ml of vinegar and about 25ml of BRS's Kalwasser.
Then I set it on a little shelf over my sump.
I use an actual hospital grade IV dripper and I manually start the siphon,
and drip it over about 3-4 hrs into the fast moving flow coming out of my Skimmer area to my chaeto area to my sump.

My gravity powered DIY- ATO always works flawlessly- my SG stays spot on.
My daily drip routine, including the time my RO/DI takes to fill the gallon jug (my ro/di has a 3g tank for the RO drinking water tap on my kitchen sink)-
5 minutes

Here's a picture of the jug, tubing and it's dripping in this photo


Yes, this is my old DT- now reused/repurposed as my sump! Yep, that sucker is 6 feet long
You can see my ATO above left, hooked stright to my RO/DI as well. No filling anything, I do have a JG valve on each line, and do leave it off and refill with the turn of a valve from time to time.

 

I broke ground on a new stand for my sump room. Gonna change it up some.
