Dunno… hence why I’m leaving my opticals there too. 2 readings > 1 and all that. My high sump optical had actually moved and was getting sprayed by the atk refilling. So just moving it over did the trick there… no clue how it moved tho… maybe ghosts

So turns out putting it in the water did the trick :p Thoughts: Calibration can be a bit annoying. I'd recommend just holding it at the level it asks for in the vessel. I tried to actually fill a bucket at the 6" mark, then 9" mark etc - dumb idea. I scrapped that and just held it firmly...

I ended up trying out a modified version of the KFC dip with the stuff I had lying around... I didn't have any Amoxicillin & Restore but subbed in the closest things I had laying around. I dipped it for about 7 hours in a bucket so we'll see how things are tomorrow

BAAAAA any good strategies? cipro dip etc etc?

Hey folks... My gold torch has been doing awesome for a long while now but today I spotted a head being quite recessed... it's definitely splitting & I don't want to jump to conclusions so I thought I'd ask and see what people saw... is this normal? or is something wrong?

Ups didnt deliver them … lol they’re stuck in Oakland with no delivery date.

Mine arrive today. I ordered 2 - one for my sump's return section & another for my ATO. I'm not sure I'll have time to set them up today but if I do I'll post an update

Ha! Redoing the cable management was annoying. If I get one more you’re installing it!

+1 on the heartbeat but other products are generally faster. As much as reef beat sucks it’s pretty damn quick with notifications like that. And like @H2OPlayar said - nest is probably the fastest but not for everyone.

Yup. Been buying some up for my QT tanks

The delivery folks have never flinched when I’ve asked them to scoot it into the garage. I just tip em afterwards and they’re always cool about it

Nothing exciting besides 3 InkBirds (1 BRS model, 2, I think, 306a model)

I’ll text you what I’ve got sometime tonight.

Tonight’s project: clean up, stash and/or sell a bunch of stuff.

Glad I was able to put mine in the garage for the new tank for this exact reason!

SKY is 25% off too - gave 2s of thought to getting one for a hypothetical coral QT I might setup some day.

Alrighty - the booster pump has earned its keep. Previously making 15g of RODI took me about 105 minutes. Now with the booster running @ 85psi its down to 77 minutes... almost 30% faster. Not bad! I went ahead and updated my ATO and NSW auto-fill programming with updated time values (force...

ya, exactly; just snip the end and dump it into the cuvette. maybe the foil lining thing isn't possible or too expensive in a straw shape? seems like an obvious thing to do

Well, the fallow period is pretty boring but I've been taking advantage of the fishless situation to do a few things: first and foremost I bought some coral :) figured I might as well use the fallow period to serve as a coral QT (against fish parasites) I also replaced the return nozzles on the...

My auto water change dumps outside, on the side yard where the garbage cans live. Manual water changes I just dump down the driveway. I wish it didn't kill plants but, like you, I have no idea how to repurpose the water.
