Put some lids on the overflow and sump. I’m not sure if you got a screen on your tank but a screen could help if you get the ones that have a larger piece of acrylic around the rim. Then maybe work on better air exchange for the room. Your ph may drop. But who cares if you are not trying to push for ultimate growth.
What's the goal of the room? Aside from being an office. Do you want a reef tank focus, or a plants focus, or something else? The humidity is easy. Running a dehumidifier would solve the humidity issues, get one with a hygrometer that auto turns on. But the room's purpose/aesthetic is only something you can answerer. If you wanted a focus other than corals, then reducing that tank size would go along way. Personally, I'd keep that awesome lagoon just like it is, especially the work required to put it there in the first place. If you want to mix it up, you can always go with a theme rather than just a shallow mixed-reef.
What's that potent mix ratio for citric acid? I plan on moving some rocks around in my tank also and there's definitely some prickly critters lurking in there. lol
How is your pH during the winter in such a small room with that tank? I forget - are you using kalk or CO2 scrubbing media? How does your pH change with the window open?
We definitely like videos like this
I would keep the shallow lagoon tank personally. You just don't get the top down viewing from any other type of tank.
That’s really is one of the best aspects!
I think a smaller tank brother. This will also allow your Xl palm to sprout out more it will make the room look bigger.
Very true!! Will be a big job to move things if I do! Now to hunt for a a cool tank incase I go that route :)

keep the tank!!!
Crazy idea, make that your sps tank for the top down views and convert your main to more lps
It would be hard to not do a mixed reef!
@@ReefDudes fair lol

It’s kind of a mixed space but mainly my Office/livestream/work room
Hood the tank! enclose it and put an air extractor on it. best decision I made. Hinged the canopy door from the celling so I've lost not access space.
If I had. A tall tank I totally would but may be a bit heavy on a shallow low tank. It’s only
14” tall
Leave it and add some frogspawn and hammer to fill it out.
I use cellotape to pull out the worm bristles, works well!
I think you should get a new tank Devin! Try out the new tanks like the aquaforest! Thats my dream tank 😂
Which one is your dream
One?’ :)

I just dumped a bunch it so it was potent for its water volume
Why not get an acrylic lid made to minimise evaporation.
I did debate that too, main issue is the reflect alot of light up with is not good for video right beside me
what is your mixture/ratio for the citric acid bath if stung by a bristle worm?
I just dump a bunch in to make it strong. White vinegar will work as well.
Where did you buy this tank?
Custom made tank

It’s certainly higher with the window open. Winter low is 7.88-7.9 ish now I’m always above 8 as the low with the window open in the day
Deal with the humidity. It’s an awesome tank
It is a cool setup!
4' would be less crowded!
Very very true. Half tempted to try a cube tank as I haven’t ever done a larger cube
@@ReefDudes That would be amazing!!
Keep that tank
I think a fat cube would be nice, that tank is too large for the space to me personally.
Just add a lid
Smaller tank for sure. That tank is way too big for that room.
lol i half agree :)
I think a smaller tank would look better in there.
Would make the room look bigger :)
Run a 4 ft tank. It's too big for the room.
I think a 4’ tank would be a better fit. Looks awesome tho!!!
