Not a problem; those are no joke! Rest up and feel better

You lose power for 2-8 hours during the installation. Sorry for the confusion. It's a seamless transition between house and battery power otherwise.

We held our nose and went with Tesla (which was prior to the recent...let's say, bad PR). Echoing what an earlier commenter said that they handily beat the price of any competitors. Here in Roseville, our total price for a 7.695 kW system plus 2 power walls, installation and everything...

If you are thinking of attending - even if you're not sure you'll make it - PLEASE RSVP. This helps us predict how much food to order + makes logistics a lot easier. Location: Mission Blue Center, 475 Mission Blue Dr, Brisbane, CA 94005 Date: June 22, 2025 Time : TBD (But probably 12:00 PM...

We will be having a members-only frag swap on June 22, 2025, on the peninsula! Due to issues in the last couple frag swaps, we're making some changes going forward, starting with this one. TL;DR usernames on cups will be heavily enforced and there will be quite a bit more scrutiny surrounding...

Yup. And I, in turn, mentioned this to you years ago when I was looking at controllers originally. :P

100%, and I called that the moment they delayed it. The delay was only a few weeks before its original release date; at that point you should have design finished and final models in production, not 'adding additional features.' The cherry on the top is them encouraging third-party reagents for...

TL;DR of the video for those who didn't watch it: No release date still, reveal that reagents are going to be DRM'd, and give an update a bunch of the issues they had (and how they solved them). Feels like my suspicion after the delay was right: they didn't have a product, announced way earlier...

After Coralvue's Maven update yesterday, I'm considering adding an NP rather than continuing to wait for what seems increasingly like vaporware. I've heard mixed things, with a common thread of, "It sucked initially, but after some fiddling it's reasonably accurate," Anybody used/still using...

If you have no fish in your tank for 42 days at 80 degrees F (double check temp on humble fish), ich and velvet parasites will starve themselves out. All tanks containing fish have to be 10+ feet apart to avoid aerosol transmission

If the spots are too numerous to count, it's likely velvet rather than ich. As pointed out above, if the fish are still eating, then there's hope. Medicated food can help. My suggestion, short of setting up a hospital tank and letting everything run fallow for 76 days/QTing the fish in a...

So, bit of good news for the tank. We've waffled for a while, but made the decision to get a porcupine puffer (which we've debated and wanted since putting the tank together). Kenny (@under_water_ninja) was kind enough to find a small one (as requested) for us...and I'm kind of melting at how...

Pic 1: not sure; either diatoms or crysophytes Pic 2: Dino; probably ostreopsis based on what I can see Pic 3 & 4: Amphipods Pic 5: generic tank gunk (can't tell from that picture)

Appreciate it! I may take you up on that the next time I'm in the bay.

Nothing definitive so far; but, given it's "slow necrosis of everything", at least it hasn't gotten worse that I can tell. I'll have Aquabiomics results from the post-treatment sample I took in about two weeks. I've been dosing PNS bacteria and Microbacter 7 to re-seed, and I'm planning on...
