I had a pretty different reading when switching from Trident Reagent to ABC. I generally calibrate my Trident a couple days after switching reagent (I think thats what they said) but given the shocking delta I immediately did a calibration w/ ABC's provided solution. Calibrating definitely got...

Sweet. Bought a t shirt and a hoodie

Started putting together the salt mixing bin / AWC reservoir. Most of its straightforward but there's a few things worth sharing: Glued half a Tunze magnet to the Eheim heater holder b/c suction cups suck Another interesting bit is that I put a 2" bulkhead at the top along with an elbow...

They keep some stuff a bit vague. Ie what’s in the medicated bath. I straight asked what they do for uronema and they told me is a special thing they’re developing. So ya. The aggressive ttm is good for ich and depending on how they do it velvet too. They name their deworming treatment too...

I know Bobby (aka humblefish) talked to them about their QT protocol but they weren’t willing to disclose everything. i talked to a few previous customers who I know from QT forums and they said the fish they got were healthy so I have them a shot. I wish they’d fully disclose everything but...

i just bought a gem tang and Desjardini from them. Fish look healthy & ate immediately. They did offer a multiple fish discount. I think it was 20% They have a pretty secretive QT process. Most of its tank transfer but they have some other stuff they do that they keep “secret”

true =)

Mines super simple looking since I don’t need to manually futz with much. I control as much as I can from the apex so I don’t need my ecotech controllers to be immediately accessible

Not exactly since I used 2 batteries and wired them in parallel. If you find a single battery that fits then the video is pretty much on point. My diy was a bit different due to using 2 batteries. Here’s the thread I put up when I did the mod...

My ATO reservoir filling automation kicked off while I was asleep... Here's the setup Virtual Outlet: RO_AUTOFILL If ATO_LO OPEN Then ON If ATO_Hi CLOSED Then OFF When On > 084:00 Then OFF Both Solenoids' programming: (one input to RO unit, one output of RO unit) If Output RO_AUTOFILL = ON...

Nest already has built in stuff for this. So it’s kind of a redundancy setup in case Nest’s safety temp stuff doesn’t kick in. Plus I’d have to be out of cell range and not get notified by Nest (house too hot) or apex (tank too hot).

Forgot to mention another "thing" I did: I finally got my Mac mini setup again - its historically just been a media server running Plex etc - but last week I installed Homebridge on it. This always you to control non-Home Kit stuff via Siri. The initial use case here is to trigger Feed Mode...

One of them I modded a long time ago and it worked great. The mod is super easy if you can solder or have experience splicing wires etc. Happy to help if/when you're ready. The main "problem" is finding a good battery that fits. The batteries I used aren't available on Amazon anymore but with...

Minor updates: Installed an Ecotech battery backup a few days ago Today I modded another ecotech battery with a couple LiFePO4 batteries. Set that one up too I’ll test them out tomorrow some time to make sure they actually work. Still waiting for a package from BRS with the supplies I need...

of course you did

I’ll probably add a 7th stage once this DI is used up tho. It came pre filled with 2 mixed resins. Next time I have to change resin I’ll do cation, anion & mixed

No idea. I’ve never put a tds meter on the input before so I have no basis of comparison (previous one was just 2 way , pre & post DI). What do folks normally get coming in? The 3 way tds meter is new & I installed it properly so I don’t think it’s a bad reading.

Mini tour of the RODI & ATO setup

a couple new friends Sorry about the blues. the orphek camera lens comes with a few filters; guess I picked the wrong one

You should bill me soon lol
