What do you mean power was cut? According to the page site they aren't doing blackouts. Yet.

Changing annually is probably safe, unless you're filtering a lot of water. Checking for chlorine in the waste line is the other.

+1 for Sunday. Monday traffic would be an issue. This sounds like a really cool idea!

Mixed bed DI uses anion for the color change. This is because anion is the one that generally gets depleted fastest. This is the reason people say 3 stage di (cation/anion/mixed) is more efficient. With mixed bed only, you're throwing away half a canister of perfectly good cation resin every...

I'm out of town next week... Soo.... That's great...

Woah! That's scary! Glad it didn't end worse!

You can get these https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/insta-test-free-total-chlorine-strips-lamotte.html To check your product water to see if any chlorine/chloramine is left. You can actually test your waste/brine water as well, to check that your carbon blocks are working properly. Or you can ask...

This was a weird way to show off your new boat.... :D

Finally got somewhere with the electronics. Still have some work to do, but progress is progress!

And yet IO is probably used in more aquariums than all the other brands combined. Redsea also has issues with parameters off and on. People complain about fritz. I'm sure the others do as well. Your analogy is a little extreme. These manufacturers don't extensively test every bucket. They test...

Honestly, using any of these salts is playing reefers roulette. It seems like every couple months one of them has issues, and it's not just the inexpensive ones.

Check Carbonic Services in Santa Clara for refills.

Can't tell where they are in that pic. If on the sandbed, siphon them out. If on the coral skeleton, cover it with super glue gel.

Even if you're using coral skeleton, I would imagine this doesn't replenish all trace elements. I would assume coral tissue uses some different elements than skeleton.

Not yet, still just the 2. Going through some diatoms right now, but I'll likely start adding corals soon!

I like that you keep everything inside the bottom eurobrace. It gives it an interesting and unique look.

Led drivers are different from DC power supplies for equipment aren't they? I realize you're using them for lighting, but I think they are meant to directly drive the leds? I think led drivers provide constant current?

How long are you gone? Could you just let it finish and run empty for a few days?
