Yeah, just having it do what the default is, I spent zero time trying to figure out the moon stuff out. Looks like it can get pretty advanced if one wanted.

Like many of us who have been around since halides, I generally prefer a whiter tank. I also don't really like to mess around with my LEDs. When I got the Reefis over the 320, I picked the spectrums that Daniel had made. I basically have pretty blue early in the morning but switches to the SPS2...

Well all my fish are in and looking good. It's been a little over a week and nobody seems sick! In the next week or so I'm going to grab a pretty big order from high tide Aquatics. I spoke with @under_water_ninja and I'm pretty excited to start using them for my fish going forward. I'm...

Because my house is small-ish, 80% of my home is now on the CLP. But these are the breakers that function when the grid is down. When I set up my new aquarium, I ran a line from the regular panel and the CLP. Lights are on the standard panel so if I loose power my aquarium lights will be off...

I had to get wire from the inverter on the side of the house about 25 ft to where my service entrance and panel is, fortunately my crawl space is big enough. We just got some SEC cable and went through the crawl space. Now this is where it gets more complicated then the Tesla powerwall. You...

After we got all the panels up, we hung the inverter and batteries. The batteries are extremely heavy each weighing somewhere around 350 lb. They are attached to the house with a French cleat while sitting on the ground on a pad. I used a mini split air conditioning pad that had a maximum...

I've been meaning to post this for a while and since I started talking about solar a little bit in another thread and since I am literally sitting here waiting for paint to dry, I guess I'll get into this a little bit. First off I should state that if you aren't an electrician, then maybe this...

The hybrid inverter is the eg4 12kpv I have 2x all weather batteries and 22 jinko 425 w panels. I designed and built the system so I can get pretty nerdy about it if you want details.

Can you switch your batteries to back up only? I use an EG4 system, in the summer I can go indefinitely without the grid but in the winter my batteries will only charge to about 50% in December. I toggle a switch in my app which tells the system to only discharge the batteries during an...

I'm sure it's possible. There are two slots typically in a solar mounting rail. One on the top and one on the back. If you could find a way to attach the t-bolt to whenever you are using from the back of the tank, I'm sure it would work.

I like sharing stuff like this, because there's almost always a more cost effective solution but finding them is the challenge.

It's cheaper at Walmart than online.

I can give you the file.

My tank is using two synergy Shadow box version 3 for the overflows. Overall I'd say that they are pretty reasonably done. I have gotten them fairly quiet but I would get a bit of a gurgle from time to time going down the second standpipe. So last night I printed up a little bit of an insert to...
