    Battery Backup Opinion

    Looks like there’s a 5amp fuse in the cable connecting the battery to the vortech too. I have most of the parts already for the diy approach but I do want to see if the lithium battery UPS works. I’ll test it out when it comes on Monday. It’s more plug and play and could be helpful for those...

    I'm in (but don't wait for me... I might need to watch the kids). I don't have a DSLR. Are there any manual mode iOS apps you recommend that I can install beforehand?

    Torch ID

    I thought I wasn’t stupid enough to risk $800 worth of coral but my pistol shrimp knocked over my green torch and I have to pick it up anyway I thought I’d do what you all told me to do and see if they stick. Here’s me adding to the body of marine research BRS style:

    BRS, subbar advice packaged in professional setting

    You can update youtube videos. I’ve had affiliates do that when they misrepresented my company. I believe BRS could update it without having to take down the video
