Alright vintage. Tested at 12:30a.m. 9 hours post 2 tsp dose alk was 8.0 it is now 9.1. Testing alk 3pm tomorrow to see if it’s a steady 1 point consumed. @VintageReefer

That said. To fuel some people’s nightmares during my testing I accidentally dropped a vial into the tank. Used my flashlight to look for it… to see a giant and I mean giant brittle star - like its arm was approximately 10-11” long…. Until I realized it wasn’t. It was the final boss of bristle worms. Check this sucker out, incredible. None of my wrasses could have snacked on this dude. Not yet. Used my floating coral gripper and snagged him without much effort.

Ok cool so we successfully raised 1 point with 2 tsp. Now we wait and see what those corals take in by 3pm tomorrow

This is the whole setup. 20g long, using a heater for the large build for now, the Sicce Scuba Contactless. Tidal 100g brand new today, bubbler right above the heater. Added Carib Sea Fiji Pink Alive Arag. I'll just dry and clean it post QT or toss it if I medicate. RO water for 34.5 tested on Hanna digital salinity, Microbacter7, a throw away rock that is super seeded, been in aquarium since day 1 over 3 years ago, it had some aiptasia so I'm ok sacrificing it to the trash if I copper, threw in some media into the HOB filter as well (just some Aquaforest seeded bacteria rocks from my 10g. I'll pick up an ammonia badge tomorrow, but with some seeded media I should be ok. I just ordered a Hanna Copper Checker, I'll observe for now. The tang is really skinny, that's the only thing making me nervous and why there are two clips in the picture, one is Julian Spring Red Seaweed and the other is Nori. I'll probably try to track down some ogo tomorrow if I can.

The wrasse is obviously not comfortable with your tray setup. It should be sleep by now. That trey method works for some wrasse once they’re comfortable with the tank.

I have 3 leopards and they all slept in the sand the first night, i purchased them all at separate times

Any other suggestions? I'm all ears. New to both these fish.

Oh and I'll head to home Depot tomorrow for some PVC for the tang to hide in. The rock that is in there is an intentional small cave of two rocks glued together. Just can't tell from the front shot.

I can add a pyrex container of sand, it should be enough for it though I would think. It's a small wrasse.

Any thoughts on if I should throw one of my sicce nanno powerheads on the opposite glass? There is a decent amount of movement from the tidal 110 and I have an air tube (not a stone, but a bubbler attachment from my eheim pumps), so the water should be oxygenated.

Judging by the way mine swim, they dont really like super strong flow. Flow is good but not crazy, there not super strong swimmers like other fish. Mine like to stay close to the rock work where the flow breaks, they only openly swim when i feed.
