Thanks. Looks like a 20# co2 tank, full, weighs 40 pounds.

Gotcha Thanks. It will be very interesting if they go again this year. Please keep us posted!

Hi Jon, What I really want to do is hook a scale up to the APEX, put the co2 tank on the scale, and have the APEX alert me when the tank reaches X weight so I know it is almost empty. I talke to someone about it once, but never followe up. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks! That is great!

Snails seem fine, but I'll keep an eye out. It got down to 6.3 if that makes a difference.

I like to recommend apex because they are localish, which can make a world of difference if you have issues. The feels like it is in a happy meal construstion often confuses me because what are you doing to the equipment that requires it to be more robust and can justify the extra expense and...

I was lucky that she is still home for the summer...asking my bride to do that stuff.... :D

The two or three or 4 days with depressed alk seems to have no impact on coral health at all.

Bummer. Can you remind me again when the spawning events were? THanks

Apex helps save the day again. Gone for week and got a alert that my alk was dropping. I expected it to drop some because the media level was lowish, but it dropped to 7 from 8.5. Did some trouble shooting on my end, everything looked ok on the camera. Since I knew the media level in the CaRx...

I have used a straight handsaw with a variety of blades and found that something with bigger teeth got more done than a diamoned blade. It does take time though.

These are pretty great. I have been testing them for several months.

Thanks. I'll watch them a little more closely. Maybe it is time...

None of these automatically switch over?

Couldn't handle it anymore, so I started on the center of the tank

I can't make it, but if someone wants to come by and pick up some unmounted frags for the swap, let me know

Hey Art! I have similar to what you are thinking about and I use this pump https://www.amazon.com/Fluval-Sea-Sump-Pump-Aquarium/dp/B00CSURQ5C/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 on the return and the closed loop. I bought some extras to swap out in case, but the pumps have been insanely rock...

Totally interested in one or two. Let me know when is good to come by

That didn't hold up over time. Looks like it was a byproduct of something in Tech-M that seemed to work sometimes, but then seemed to stop working all together. I tried it a few times before Tech-M is said to have changed formulation and it didn't impact bryopsis at all.

I am hesitant to give more detailed advice because I don't know the state of the tank :D
