I believe it is all about nutrient export. I am now thinking that the demise in the health of my tank when I had the RDSB and fuge was just the age of the tank, it was still pretty new. I am happy...

Yeah, your tank is too young for Stonies. IMO, you need some more fish in there too. The apparent lack of microalgae might indicate a lack of nutrients. And, don't take this the wrong way but the...

That is such an incredibly good idea, I am going to do that. The LR is so easy to drill holes in. My to do list is getting really long.

I also use a sock on my BB 30g SPS. I change it out every 3 or 4 days. I have been contemplating removing it so I can allow all of the small waterborn critters to circulate but I'll prolly leave it....

My tank started to get cloudy a few months after setting it up too. It was as if there was milk added to the water. I was trying to remember what I did exactly to clear it up, I did a 25% WC and...

I bet those 6055s really move the water. I use a single K4 on mine and it seems to be sufficient. I had 2 K4s but I removed one of them due to some PE issues. I am planning to get a couple of 6055s...

That would probably work, a fan would definitely cool that down.
If you are going to use some flours too, you could use 10k 150s and actinic flours to increase output.

Yeah, get the white containers made from HDPE (high density polyethylene). They are food grade and inert. I think white 5g buckets from HD are HDPE, and you can get the lids also. They stack well...

A BB with a RDSB allows you to have huge amounts of flow without a sand storm and also have the benefit of nitrate reduction from the RDSB. I'm incorporating that into mine as well.

Your tank looks great on the stand and full of water. Maybe you could divert some of the excess water from the Mag9.5 to run a phosban reactor, that would eliminate 1 small pump and 1 less...

I really don't know much about chems. Just the ones that I have to add to my tank. And sometimes I don't know enough about that. I find myself burried in the chem forum frequently.

I wouldn't raise it beyond where you are now without first reading up on the effects of high mag from a reliable source. There is no benefit in doing this unless you are trying to rid your tank of...

Gosh, I'm glad you caught that. You would have needed a 1/2 gallon of mag to raise it that much. And then the salinity would have been sky high too. (probably over 1.030)

Mag levels from 1200-1500...

Draw yourself a diagram and you can probably put it back. It looks like there are only 5 or 6 big rocks.

I'm glad were good with it. I will still refrain from sarcasm unless the atmosphere is right for it.
I do get into trouble with the spouse alot for poking too much fun with things.
