    For the 500th time I may be getting my feet wet again

    I wonder how reliable the grid is there and power back up might be the first thing to buy when on sale again during 4th of July, and a chiller?

    Possible used gear sale at Neptune's.....gauging interest for maybe June 28th Sunday.

    I actually think this is a great idea. I could probably have my own garage sale by now. My fear is that when I attend I will by even more stuff and do not sell anything :). Seriously though, it is a bit far and this is the last weekend before I go to Germany again for three weeks and I...

    Diamond Watchman Goby Not Eating And Emaciated

    I had the same issue with my yellow tang. Twice. Was well fed, then got very skinny, brought her to Kenny, he saved her, some time later it happened again, no seaweed, no LRS, no PE mysis. My wife fed her patiently her favorite food, i.e., seaweed pellets which she started eating tiny amounts...

    Oceanic 40gallon Sps tank.

    Changing 25% of the water weekly long term is indeed not advisable for SPS, and possibly other corals. It will lead to significantly elevated iron and manganese (anti caking agents in the salt) as it did for me when I thought this was a good idea to manage nutrients over a period of several...

    Oceanic 40gallon Sps tank.

    What a nice welcome back. No other explanation other than the typical effect people see when they are coming back from vacation that the tank does better without than with our often daily interventions. Sometimes I wonder though if this perceived improvement comes from not seeing the tank for...

    Featured BAR Community Initiative Proposal Template

    I assume this one counts: https://bareefers.org/forum/threads/%E2%80%A6the-club-bought-a-conductivity-meter.38256/page-2#post-547720 Should be a no-brainer to support this :).

    Aquawiz KH Controller - Install and Experience

    Enabler. Mainly what I mentioned, noise in older models (air pump I believe), algae growth inside the container, some calibration issues, and results from not cleaning this on a regular basis. Nothing that strikes me as a no go (such as the new iPhone ultra without Face ID).

    Aquawiz KH Controller - Install and Experience

    Even before purchasing this device, I thought about where to place this since water will go into and out of his device, and I did not want to have it sit near my power outlets. From what I understand, the device should be above the water level (sump). Finding the 3d print file to hang it onto...

    Aquawiz KH Controller - Install and Experience

    While we have some general threads around this KH controller, which is now available in its 5th generation, I did not see one where we share how to use this and any pitfalls, workarounds, or tips and tricks to improve the experience. Also, there seems to be valuable information shared across...

    Prep for the arrival of the Aquawiz. A perfect fit platform for it to sit on. Thanks so much @Thọ Key for printing this.

    Impact from getting new member spam

    Not my area of expertise, but looks like we are getting a several new members with questionable objectives. Is this an issue or can they easily be auto deleted?

    Alex’s Red Sea Reefer Nano (28-gallon)

    Ok, I tried to install the new Hydros feeder. No too happy about it. Two issues: 1. The feeder openings are too large. As a workaround, I added the Reef Factory drum which fits, but looks ugly but works. 2. The mounting options do not work for the Reefer nano tank unless I remove the lid...

    Hydros button box: https://www.jbaquaticsllc.com/product/hydros-push-button-box-1-channel-/21?cp=true&sa=true&sbp=false&q=false I installed this now and very much like it. I will buy another one for the nano tank. Three minor issues: 1. If you want to stop the mode prematurely, you will have...
