    Ecoflow battery w/ Apex EB832

    Look at this rats nest - absolutely disgusting. This does not meet the standard I've come to expect from your build @finalphaze987

    Free Elos sump

    It would be helpful to share dimensions! If nobody ends up taking it, bring it to the swap and I'll let Ruby push it into the dump.

    Ecoflow battery w/ Apex EB832

    After a couple years free of outages, we've had two in the last couple months - the Ecoflow worked flawlessly, and neither outage outlasted it. It's a pretty solid product, and the prices have come down quite a bit lately too. It's also not physically super large (about 12" tall for the one...

    Ecoflow battery w/ Apex EB832

    I have this exact unit, although I am not using Apex. My hydros wave engine is plugged into it, and when power goes out the Ecoflow battery takes over with no interruption. Mine runs return and 2x gyres for about 10hrs.

    Willie’s Last Aquarium Build

    He had a bunch of metals elevated on the test - tin, copper, etc. I think he found a magnet that his kid had knocked into the SW tank or something?

    Husbandry and Bacterial Infections

    It's probably worth noting at this point that nobody really knows what BJD is, or if it's even one thing, or consistent ways of curing it. We don't even really know what you had, in other words - I wouldn't stress about it TOO much. I would just be transparent and disclose it to whomever you...

    Derek's 225g - Magnifica / SPS Reef

    I got water filling in that pic! The black RODI line is the waste from making RODI, using that for the leak test.

    Thoughts on ceramic media?

    Nitrates are so easy to control AND (imo) high nitrates aren’t really a big deal anyway, why add something to your tank known to leach aluminum? How high are your nitrates? I wouldn’t say running a large fuge has no downsides - large, fast growing chaeto pulls things like iron out of the water...

    Derek's 225g - Magnifica / SPS Reef

    So I replaced the 4-Pump versa rail with 2x Hydros Soles (AWC duty) and a Hydros Minnow (2-part duty). Mostly this was to get everything on the Hydros ecosystem, I've had my eye on the Soles for a long time. All devices were easy to add to my existing collective - it seems the Soles require a...

    Hydros Sole dosing pump experience

    I thought I had posted about this but I guess it was just rantings in my group text. I have been using two now for a couple weeks, I’ll share my thoughts in tank journal. The connectors suck but the precision is excellent - that’s the summary.

    Derek's 225g - Magnifica / SPS Reef

    Some fish pics. Most fish were named by my daughter when she was 3-4. Some of these fish are getting FAT but it's hard to get a decent pic of their girth. Buddha the Convict tang: Mochi the azure damsel: Pokeyfish the Banggai: Queenie the royal gramma: Bluey the PBT: Flower the...

    For those interested in buying G2 Red Sea tanks

    Schill! But seriously, maybe their total revenue (with equipment, salt, etc) dwarfs most tank manufacturers but I don’t buy the argument that the only reason you hear about the failures is that they just make so many tanks. Our hobby is tiny compared to most, and the number of anecdotes we hear...

    For those interested in buying G2 Red Sea tanks

    The big issue with the seam failures is really actually the stands - they are surprisingly under built for the amount of weight. The older generations were shocking.

    For those interested in buying G2 Red Sea tanks

    I also experienced a Red Sea tank leak and have had the pleasure of interacting with their atrocious customer service. I have not spent a cent on any RS products since.
