Install coming soon...

I thought about it and concluded that the juice ain't worth the squeeze. I dont really find an urge to polish the water all that much unless I'm throwing in some coral snow, and you're right, its nothing a sock can't handle.

Seeing all the crap it pulled out had me thinking it was helping to keep my nutrients down...man was i wrong. I still saw a gang of crap settle in my sump with it on. I just got tired of fixing it everytime it jammed and having to smell it in my living room. It would be nice to be able to...

With my sons basketball season coming to a close, I finally had a free Saturday to do some much needed maintenance. Gave a bunch of corals haircuts to keep them from touching. Early on, I knew this would be a problem, I guess I just underestimated how often I would have to do it. Diatoms...

It's not everyday that a piece of history gets offered up in DBTC.

The wyze camera mount from avid aqua works pretty good with a built in filter. The only drawback I've found is the magnet in tank. How did you route the wire coming from the camera?

This made for a very interesting read. Thanks for documenting and sharing. I tend to jump into things and forget the documenting part, but hopefully this help others in the future. Glad all you fish made it out ok.

Nathan puts out some quality stuff. Ive ordered both from him before and was very pleased with what I received.

Let there be light! Driver came in today and straight on the tank it went. All previous programming was wiped, but happy its back up and just needs tuning. With the kessils alone I was seeing a peak average par of around 200 at 100% intensity. Since it sat in that light for nearly a week...

Your corals sick still look better than my corals healthy lol

After some back and fourth with ATI, it was discovered that the light was out of warranty (1 year) and if have to pay for the parts. Sucks because the actual usage of the light was less than a year, but they go by purchase date. They did offer a discount, so it all came out to $175. Im hoping...

Thank you for the offer. Ill keep it in mind if the replacements can't get here fast enough.

I appreciate the offer guys. If the driver replacement doesnt pan out and a fix is far off, I'll keep it in mind. Things should be good for a week and hoping they could get this part out soon

I sent an SBAR to ATI along with some pictures. According to them, the MeanWell driver may be burnt out. They emailed the info for the tech in Germany to confirm and took down my shipping information. Hopefully they respond soon and can get it back up and running. When looking to purchase a...

The controller board I'm running was made for the apex, so not much thought was put into the layout truthfully. Regarding the cord management, more is your friend, but you will have to deal with alot of slack. I used some 3d printed cord reels, cord raceways, clamps, and a faux wall to keep...
