Did you have to input your internet password into the apex is that how it works? I don't have an apex

Maybe lower the photoperiod and/or intensity? Those Kessils put out some serious light and can cause algae problems. I had experienced it when I had a A150 over my 30g.

Usually my algae goes away once I lower the photoperiod and feed less.

And Warren, I need to hire you to organize my future sump area lol.

Dude, I have no idea what I did. Didn't input any password or specific IP address... it literally 'just worked' the second time. I am at a loss for words, but thankful lol!

Brian, I have since turned the lights off until I figure out if I'm dealing with diatoms, Zeo over-dose, or algae. Like I said, I'm a little confused.

Hire me? Hell no! You live so close, I'd be doing a disservice to reef geeks everywhere if I didn't help... text me when you're ready!

When are you coming to the island...? 😜

My folks do live in Nanaimo... and I'd love to see your new fish room! (if it's finished, lol)

LOL, not yet, pretty much as you saw it on my last update. Although I did get 80% of my HRV install done yesterday...

Let us know how it turns out with your algae problem.

Haha don't worry, you're on the top of my list of "who should I call to help me move in the tank/stand" :lol:

Maybe I should come over Dap... we'd have that room done in no time buddy!

I have been assured by a few people that it is in fact just diatoms and I'm freaking out like every newbie reefer does, lol.
Going to keep the lights off for a few days and run the UV several hours/day. Will brush the rocks on Sunday just before the water change.
I would like to introduce some coralline, any ideas where I might get some flakes?

There's always this:

(I don't have experience with it!)

Or you can "introduce" coralline by adding my live rock lol. $50 per rock :wink::razz:

Awesome thread... kept me busy all afternoon! :)
I'm in the process of building my own nano system with sump.
Going to try and model my sump area after yours #OCD ;)
Nice work!
