    Apex + Kessil Daisy Chain Question

    Quick question - if I were to use an unmanaged ethernet switch is there a common reason why I would need it PoE?

    Going away for 3+ weeks

    Was I out of town or what when you posted this? How on Earth did I miss the pics and discussion here about Burgos, Morricone, and Tarantino??? Now my whole evening will be spent NOT working out my Apex install issues or planning how to get ready for new school year, but playing soundtracks and...

    DBTC: Green BTA

    You are lucky! She has shot right out of the tank twice while ferociously trying to attack students cleaning tank walls.

    DBTC: Green BTA

    6 extra nems are on the tank walls as we speak - easy to remove without foot damage, though we will be attacked by a large, ill-tempered maroon clown

    Yes - I responded in your thread - our posts crossed :)

    2026 / 2025 / 2024: Trips to Germany - Reefing

    Whistle. He could be the lifeguard and pool cop of your tank.

    Off grid solar panel system

    Yeah, I'm curious about that. Apparently, our car ('05 Tesla) has the capability but it is not activated somehow.

    Free clippings of Cladiella Lederkoralle (beginner colt soft coral)

    Thank you @rygh for this cool looking coral! I hope some more people would like to have some of this, now farther in the East Bay in Pleasant Hill, since I do not have a massive tank like the size they were in. It is still huge! It is like the size of a small Thanksgiving turkey. Corals like...

    Apex Users: Who Uses Liquid Level Sensor?

    I saw in tank journals at least a couple of you do. Has it happened to you that your sump or ATO reservoir was low and the LLS alerted you? Is that its main purpose? I have the new leak detector, and the old type saved me twice, but neither time involved sump or reservoir issue.

    Maureen's Classroom DSA 105

    I changed my mind yet again and may try to mount the new energy bar inside the cabinet like a normal person and just stuff every single cord in there. I could remove a shelf for more space. Had to take a break to clean tanks and do water changes.

    Apex + Kessil Daisy Chain Question

    Thanks for this idea. I think I have one or two of these from a family member's cabin. Nice to have options to try.

    The power of aluminum

    Aluminum doesn’t continuously corrode in seawater IF there is no stray current to destroy it by galvanic corrosion. If carefully attended to, lots of great saltwater applications.

    Apex + Kessil Daisy Chain Question

    Supposedly my Apex is banned from Wifi but reliable source told me ethernet should be okay, so that is what I was planning on. I could always plead my case for wifi. Will check out the spectral controller more tonight and possibly order the dongle. Our wifi is usually flaky and drops out often...

    People Near the Little Fire OK? (Sunol/Pleasanton area)

    Let us know if you need anything now or later.

    Apex + Kessil Daisy Chain Question

    All right. I guess I learned this from email correspondence with Kessil a few years ago but forgot, which is why I got a spectral controller with the lights. Anybody use Kessil—X lights with WiFi dongle + Apex and can tell me what happens when your WiFi goes down?
