One thing I do wonder if people are running these against proper temp sometimes? Should be used when water is 77 F (at least TM’s hydrometer) Fortunately for me it’s what I keep my tank at but I do notice small differences in the summer if I haven’t got the temp down overnight.. For me I do...

How did you figure out the lack of accuracy? I’ll have to make sure I keep the reading next time I ship off an ICP sample

Let us know how it goes with this -still happy with a hydrometer -although hard to read sometimes

I am using the BRS one so perhaps it’s not as robust at keeping out the moisture.. Either way getting the prolonged media life and a huge jump in PH.. if I can’t shut down the skimmer and restart it without issues automatically I’ll live

Can’t go through skimmer cup-too much humidity even with moisture cup -sank the media in a week. So I go silencer with the lid t’ed in with a valve and moisture cup to scrubber and then back to Venturi. Also means I get 4-6 weeks of media life out of it .. I was up to 8.37 at some point..

Ok solved the big PH problem-of course it creates a minor problem. So I have it that it goes from the skimmer silencer to the scrubber -out to the Venturi- Issue is on the skimmer restart -right now I take the tube out of scrubber -blow through it and kazam-all is good. Otherwise it may...

I say take a deep whiff and then… So how is your PH? Reason I ask is that i did a recirc loop with the skimmer and closed up the vents so I now I don’t smell anything or really hear anything as an extra benefit to higher PH. What are you feeding and what are your nutrient levels? And how...

I had a filefish for 18 hrs. He did wonders on the aiptasia. Then it went for the zoas.. Peppermint shrimp work too and Molly miller blennies (but if they are really small might take a while).

Thx for the reminder-with Red Sea appyou need to manually switch out of DST and back..

I’d also jump on that too

As for pithos-never had an issue -,

I am both carbon dosing and back to diluted lanth. See if lanth 2.0 doesn’t land in the system like last time. Set it up slightly different so hopefully not.

Quite the beast..

I guess avast did make one but discontinued

So who is the maker of the one pictured? Or link to it -I am curious. Pretty good on nitrates -what does it do for PO4? Maybe avast can be convinced to make one -
