I just hope it's not under powered for my 180 upgrade. Heavy bioload is rated for 150. Just wish the wife get what I wanted instead of just picking out a random skimmer. Women frustrate me

n...sometimes we tend to keep our waters too clean...causing issues just as bad as too much nutrients. I now believe that underskimming or even turning the skimmer off once in a while might help.
Im probably going to test this soon....
Ill turn my skimmer off one weekend of the month.

My advice is return it and get what you want.

I've already put it together. Have to wait for the family to leave tonight then I can play with it. Just need to find out if this thing is noisy. That's my biggest complaint about mine now. If this one's loud back to AP it goes and I'll be ordering the skimz. Kinda hope it's loud so she can't argue with me about it

Because I've never dealt with rtn. I've had stn but only on 1 piece ever and it's been going for 9 months. And it was gradual this was like patches so that's the first thing that came to mind and they were the newest frags I've added

All those RR pieces look terrible in my tank. Only 1 is doing good. The rest are dying from the tips

I'll get you some pics when I mess with the skimmer later

Hmm I have quite a few RR pieces but have them in what I think is lower par (for SPS) and moderate flow. They seem to be doing pretty well.
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
Worst case, once I get mine grown out, I can frag any of the ones you lose. Just might take a while.
You are running LEDs right? I think AP had them under T5's so it might just be the corals in shock from the light change (whether it is intensity or spectrum I have no clue).

They are all basically on the glass and they are under halides in pretty low par and medium flow

No clue then. I mean all your other SPS look gorgeous so its obviously not an issue there.
How are you liking the halides?

That coral on the last page looks like a case of RTN more than AEFWs. I had those little bastards in my last tank. You will find the bite marks from them and a blast from a Turkey Baster will send them flying. RTN sucks, but every SPS keeper has had it happen to at least one piece.

I've had halides since day 1 so I love them and won't get rid of them. I'll only add t5s for the next upgrade
