Hi all, I’m just curious what the consensus is locally reagarding using a QT for new fish, if there is one. I have a 20L that I bought to be used as a QT if needed, but I’m probably not going to use it for most of my fish. I’m going to be getting most of my fish from Jeff at LTK. He puts his...

I have google WiFi and the AP700 was able to see all 3 access points, but I still couldn’t get it to connect. Even tried unplugging 2 of the access points but still no luck.

You can’t post about getting an awesome fish and then not add pictures ... Edit: no clue why it said “can” originally. Fixed now.

Thanks for the info on the reset. I was finally able to get my iPad to connect directly to the light yesterday, but it required turning off my home WiFi. Not sure why that was causing the issue, but at least now I can use the light.

I can’t even connect directly to my AP700. I’ve given up for a while since my tank is cycling, but I’ll need to try again soon. I can get through the steps but then the light never shows up.

I have 2 of those in my tank right now. Not very impressed so far. Both show very low level of ammonia (.5) yet a real test shows 2.0 ppm.

I might actually get a flow meter that I can hook up to my apex. They aren’t *that* expensive since I have extra ports left on my FMM.

There's gotta be enough flow through the sump though, right? That's the part I'm worried about. My drain isn't working very hard at all and my pump is running at full power.

Do you have an Auto top off? Maybe some Hanna checkers?

Is there any way to tell if my return pump is strong enough? Right now my main siphon line is only open about halfway, so I feel like it’s dialed back a lot. There doesn’t seem to be a ton of flow through my sump either. All my lines are 1 inch.

That’s a great idea. Thanks!

The Jebaos seem to have quieted down a little bit. Hopefully they’ll keep going and get a little quieter still.

Lol. Yep. We paid the first round of aquarium bills the other day and it was not fun. But, since we're both doing it no one got the blame. I feel like we picked one of the most expensive ways to get into this hobby . But on topic, seems like you're ready for a tank addition. o_O

That sounds like a horrible idea. I’m actually terrified of what that number would be.

I think we’re gonna give them a few days and see if they quiet down. If not, then we’re likely going to look into getting different powerheads.

Yeah. After hearing about how many tanks he’s plumbed in I feel cheated that I had to do my own. :D

Yeah. Both of them sound the same. I’m hoping they break in and quiet down. If not, I think my wife will throw them out the window. A large part of the reason for putting our sump in the garage was to reduce equipment noise, so these really stand out with no other equipment competing with them.

They’re dc powerheads and brand new. Maybe I’m just being picky, but I can hear these things across the room and over the tv, dryer, washing machine, dishwasher, etc... maybe they need time to break in?

It does, however, the baffle controls the water level for the entire sump. The divider between the 2 middle sections has slots cut into it, allowing water to flow freely through them. It’s one of the things I bought and didn’t necessarily have a good understanding of how it would function in...

How is the puffer with your corals? It looks like everything is doing well.
