Nice. Is the scopas tang hardy? I don’t have diatoms issue already. Bt have to clean the glass daily. Damn tiring....

[MarCal]

Had it since I started my lagoon (almost 2 yrs). 

Do u use RODI water? Mine I clean once or twice per week. Before using RODI (only DI), was cleaning like mad.

Using RO/DI. But don’t get very good TDS. About 5. I took out my chaeto. Died 2x despite buying the kessil light. It made my nitrate worse by trapping the debris. Going to replace with media. Supposed my tank is still new....

How did it trap debris? Isnt the water was filtered through socks through the sump?

One side is cup. Added wool to the cup. Doesn’t trap debris as well but I don’t have the hassle of washing the sock. Intend to convert both to cup when shipment is in lol

Even tds if 5 shouldn’t be too bad. Chaeto cannot be too tight in sump as they need room to grow.

Mine doesn’t grow at all lol. Maybe not enough nutrients and flow.

I really dislike testing water  but I tested both  magnesium n calcium only. Both also low. Need to dose. 

Might test for the rest later if....
