The skimmer is the Reef Octopus Diablo 350 DCS. Can't hear this skimmer at all

Updated FTS from last night.


Skimmer in question 3 hours AFTER cleaning:


Skimmer in question from tonight, about 24 hours:
The skimmate is actually black, not dark brown, or some variation on a shade of green, but nasty gag-me-I-can-taste-it black.



Frogspawn split in progress;

I'm in the process of adjusting the rockwork and getting a better feel for dosing. I've always previously used reactors, and typically only ever hand dosed magnesium, and way back in the day, some powdered additives.

There has been much discussion on organization for the actual fishroom itself. I have made it a rule that all fish stuff must find a home in the fishroom. I'm tired of boxes of fish stuff in the garage, the workroom, the fishroom, etc. I am very excited to have it all in one place. Part of this final clean-up push also includes re-homing my 180g grow out tank and Tony's old 90g cube. I want them out of my house.

I'm thinking the next livestock purchase I make should include a couple SPS frags to test the system. Probably something easy; birdsnest or digi?

Although you probably don't have a lot of uptake at the moment, I would imagine this would be a ridiculously large volume to be dosing. Have you figured out feasibility of dosing vs a reactor for your volume?
