Best way is with a multi-meter or voltage meter. Saltwater always shows a slight conductive voltage in it but if you see voltage above 30-40 volts then you have a problem. Here is a somewhat cheezy video on how to test the voltage in your tank

Ca could be a bit higher but its not far enough off to be an issue really. MG looks fine. Just get that Phos down and raise your salinity a touch then. One other thing you should check is for stray current in the tank. Even a small stray current could cause hammers to lose heads and some...

Ya, agree Phos is high, salinity is low and need to know what Ca and MG at at too

@scchase maybe does

I wouldnt suspect the snails or crabs for this, these do tend to drop heads when they arent happy. I have had them do it when I had some micro nutrients get out of whack. I have even seen them do it if my phos or NO3 got to high. Have you tested your phos or NO3 lately?

Ya, it was a nice freebie that came with the coral. It was much smaller when I got it but it has grown quite a bit and is fun to watch

Today's Spotlight - Acanthastrea pachysepta

No problem. That's what we are here for. Post up a build thread once you get a tank. If you have any questions or issues as you progress, don't be afraid to ask ;)

Looks great. Nice clean setup.

Totally agree with @jda123 on this one. I always order all my rodi stuff from air, water and ice too as they make good products. Their color changing DI though is only thing I have issue with. I do buy it because its much cheaper then BRS but it doesn't change colors to indicate its depleted...

Welcome back!!! Looking forward to seeing the revival of the tank!

Today's Spotlight is the Lobophyllia flabelliformis

I wouldn't say the leak chance is any different then with the sump vs the AIO. Once setup, tested, and running it should be pretty solid. I would say that the majority of us run a sump in one fashion or another. The benefit of it far outweigh any cons imo. The only time I would personally run an...
