Worm's 180 build

So I have been looking at a few other thnigs too after addign the 120DT and upgrading the sump to 75.
My sirface area has increased and so has my evaporation.
I am running a 5.5ml doser as my ATO pump.
In the past I was running for about 8 minutes twice an hour. That was about 88ml every hour or so.
I also upgraded the ATO to an avast, comapred to a float switch.
Now it runs every two hours for about 19m - 28,. So that is 104 - 154 ml every two hours.
I had to look back at some posts and all because my historical data is gone. I need to find out the program/setting/xls that will let me copy it down... how many points over a 10 minute trend.... equals how much data??
OK I am not the census bureau so I do not need all that data. Maybe fox news does. (John Stewart reference, sorry.)

Here is a new video.
It is a timelapse from about 1400 to 1900.
Had not done one in a while and I wanted to see how the tank acted under a new lighting schedule.

See I told you.
What ever!! That is a camera sitting by its self and snapping a pic once a second.
Cinnamon to be exact and my 11yo causes more problems.. HAHAHAHHA
Which one? There are like 5 of them.
Here is a new video of some shots I took today.
Things were looking real nice today.
Hope you enjoy, It is still creating it so it might be unavailable for a few minutes.

Thanks you two!
BTW.. for those following along, I have two weeks left in my 5 week quarantine of some corals and frags I got.
I definitely want to make sure any traces of MARINE VELVET are NON EXISTENT!! Granted the previous owner did not have any issues. I just want to make sure.

OK so I replaced ONE of my three heaters with a new Finnex 800w with controller that is also controlled by the Apex.
Look at this graph:
Granted this is over a small temperature range, but before I had it settled down it was fluctuating up to almost 10 degrees. Now it fluctuates 0.7 degrees.
I am thinking of setting it to the "season" based temp, built into the apex.
Right now I have it set to:
Fallback OFF
If Temp < 77.8 Then ON
If Temp > 78.1 Then OFF
If Temp < 60.0 Then OFF
New setting:
Fallback Off
If Temp < RT+-0.2 Then ON
If Temp > RT+0.2 Then OFF
If Temp < 60.0 Then OFF

Your tank has great color. I am going to hate the apex for the simple fact that i cant program.
OK...
I started a new thread in the anemone section It is going to document the GIG, its treatment, and life.
While you may see it in pictures here, it will be in more detail there:
