Innovative marine 10g.

The stock grill from the main to the sump area, with the top edge closed, stops too much of the surface flow? Interesting. So you cut just that top edge off? Did you raise/keep the water level at just at/above the teeth then? Or was this in the back chamber between sump compartments...maybe...

I occasionally get surface oil slicks on one of my nano tanks, the most mature one actually. I think there are a few options here that I know of, but maybe more I don't know of. Protein skimmers to remove the DOS. Does high DOS result in an oil slick or is that a similar situation but not...

I use a Goal Zero. They come in a half dozen different capacities now. My older yeti 1000 can drive over 30A at 12V. That is enough for me to drive all of my gear. Plugs in to the wall full time, cought add solar if I wanted to wire it to the roof. But mostly, I can just plug and forget...

I've seen others with dominant red, but this was like that linked pic from CK. Maybe a color change with lighting for some of those other vendors? Anyway...I've never seen a monti like that. Thanks for the reference @Srt4eric , I'll check that out tomorrow.

No pics...but it does look like: https://www.calikidcorals.com/products/cali-kid-peyote-dreams

1" fully encrusted sq on a 3" frag disk for $300.

I'm down in SoCal and a LFS has a 1" frag of this. It is stunning....and expensive. Before I check my bank account, anyone have any experience with this monti? -Andrew

@JVU I got one of these large frags from the swap from you...opwning up and looks great! Actinic lighting shows off the color.

Oh certainly. I'd prefer someone, somewhere, builds something similar or even the exact same thing! I don't want to be the only one off in the weeds of DIY reef controllers. Heck if Hygger wants to copy the entire thing for a single box Nano-keeper, I'm all for it. I would have bought one if...

I've 'finished' the first round of my Reef-Pi inspired project. I say Inspired, because about 75% of the way into it, I stop using the Reef-pi code base but still referenced and used the HW designs. I started with a Hygger 4 Doser. Cheap, has commodity well known parts, and has plenty of...

I just installed one of these in a basement apartment. Fits in the joists horizontally or vertically between studs. Also, it is made to maintain heat _and_ moisture separation. So if there is a storm or fog bank outside it doesn't bring all of the damp air inside. I think the same goes for...

I'm interested and just over in Santa Cruz.

Baby Turbos.

The last month has been interesting. We changed lighting to an A80 from the original LED lighting that comes with the old IM10; the hermit crab death; and repeated turbo snail spawnings. So when many of the corals looked upset, they had reason...many of them. Here is what we did: Found 3 of...

OK, so I've heard that running PWMs by hand can do that. But for an ATO, I'm sure it isn't constantly dumping one drop at a time. So, to me, that just looks like a straight up miss on how something was implemented. Like something should have been event based and instead was implemented with a...

Great insight, thanks. I've been using rpi zero W for a number of video projects, typically time-lapse. I've connected 8 cameras to a single Pi zero, via USB, and then takenmulti-angled time lapse. In that case, it is sampling all of the cameras for a single image each, every 30 seconds...

I agree completely. Trade time for money seems like the trade off. But, actually, one is also trading warranty and a level of expected functional quality. As we all have read and some have experienced, a controller can make a mistake with any number of things (heater, ATO, lighting, DOS) and...

I've just finished up the hardware for my Reef-Pi setup. I have 3 Nanos I want to control with 1 controller...in any case, I'm still in-progress. But I will say that some things have gotten easier in the last few years of the Raspberry Pi and HAT/Bonnets (daughter cards). In the included...

For the Hygger wave maker we installed in that mound-scape first tank, we have the wave maker pointing across the back and right at a rock that looks like a wedge. So, for that one, even though we did drop the programmed strength, it is also split in two on the rock-wedge and creates a lot of...
