Using refractometer solution 35 for both. Was told I could. Not sure actually Matt. I'll have to read into that. I know they say bubbles will cause a reading to be off but my sump barely has any bubbles instead of in the socks

Well that's the thing, I'm getting 2 different results. I calibrated the probe twice to make sure. My probe is giving me 1.023 and my refractometer is giving me 1.025 so I'm not sure which to trust.

There's some snails and 3 chromis so I wanna raise it gradually

2 quick questions guys. 1. Which would you rely on more, salinity probe or refractometer? 2. I need to bring my salinity up, right now its around 1.023. Should I add some mixed water to my ATO and let it rise that way or just raise it with water changes?

Well a few of my macros are taking off! Pretty sweet. I am getting some brown film algae on the sand. I'll have to vacuum that out next water change although it doesn't looking like its stunting any of their growth :)

Ok then definitely NOT dinos. I seen the turbos go over top of the bubbles so maybe its just trapped air? I dunno

Yeah its not horrible, I just don't want it to get outta control. I'm working 12hr shifts all week so I'll just let my turbos go to town. Hopefully they'll help. I think I need more than 5 in my tank tho lol

Anyone know anything about dosing Hydrogen Peroxide? My rocks r starting to get fuzzy and I have a few lil bubbles here n there (might be dinos but not enough to really tell). I heard dosing HP helps out with this stuff. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Should I just let it run its...

Starting to get a lot of debris in the water column. Not sure if its from the turbos dusting up everything. I replaced my socks a couple days ago so I can't imagine its them not picking it up. Normally I'd replace them ever 2-3 days but there's nothing really in the tank so they take forever to...

Went out today and picked up 3 chromis. Gonna see how they do over the next week or so and if all is well, I'll start adding more livestock :)

Yes sir

Aquarium Center had a few yesterday

I think over the next week or so I'm gonna pick up a few chromis and see how they do. The turbo snails I bought are doing well. Cleaning a lot. I also got 5 trouches snails to help with cleaning. So far everything is good

I hear ya. I'm talking to a guy right now on FB that use to have a pair of them in his 150 for a couple years. Says he had no problem with them regarding other fish and whatnot

Bumppp

I would love to, but they're not Reef safe at all I don't believe and I know I'm gonna go back to having corals eventually lol plus won't it eat little fish?

Does anyone know if the Redhead Solon wrasse requires sand? Live aquaria didn't mention it so I just wanted to double check

I love these guys! They are reef safe with caution tho. Says they like to munch on snails and inverts which I don't even have a sand bed so I don't think I'll have many of them

I love the Orange tang too. I used to have one but it was short lived, he died from internal parasites :( he was beautiful tho. Very bright orange stripe. Ya know? I've always wanted one but I think my tank is a little too small lol

Starting to look at livestock options. Scrolling through Liveaquaria, here's what I like(not all of them, just listing the ones I like) Orange Shoulder Tang Hippo Tang Powder Blue Tang Trio of Lyretail Anthias(MFF) Redhead Solon Wrasse(not sure if it needs sand or not) Elibi Red Stripe Angel...
