So my tank is extremely stable! I had it cycle the first 3 months before adding cephs. I have an almost 2in deep sand bed of the carribesea sand/small rocks, I have probably more weight in pounds of live rock and coral skeletons donated from a friend’s tank. I change my filter socks every other day, add a bit of water each day, do a 10% water change every other week. But so much of my water sprinkles out of the sump that I lose salt water so I pretty much refill the tank with half and half or RODI & RODI Saltwater…
My salinity somehow adjusts really fast-everything, I left the tank for four days and didn’t do a thing, came back in and checked the stats and it was still stable! It took a good 6 months to get this way though! I think the frags and carribesea Sand so deep and the amount of live rock that helps keep it stable is my best guess? But anyway into journal about the actual ceph!! Elephant has always been more wary of humans (and blame his as all the people that roughly handled him and captured by people. Traumatic for him!
