Who is making the PVC cabinetry? What style will the doors be? Shaker?

Ahh, don't be so scared of electronics. It's not all smoke and mirrors. DC Power supplies are not as consistent to output as one thinks. Like your 12v battery in your car is 10-14v, in reality a power supply will often vary from the label in actual output. The controller will have 2 things...

PS, i have not seen my Molly Miller do much grazing. I don't have any turf or hair algae visible or aiptasia, so maybe that is why. The only picking I see him do is at the hermits and I think that is for fun or to steal food. Doesn't eat nori either. Basically just sitting around being a blenny.

Gotcha. Leeching is a worm hole. I stick with testing drift and a recalibration. I have them too. Shhhh.

Since the voltage is lower, you can plug it in to see if it works without worry of damage. Would likely just run the pump slower then designed. The power supply for the control circuit will likely convert 19v to 5v for the computer just fine. Those are pretty robust to voltage input. Make...

Can't imaging you finding a reliable ATS before this weekend unless you buy something from the Computer Word like a server rack solution. This would likely do what you want long term...

The one I linked to does Lefty. A lot of the EcoFlow ones do actually and pretty much all the current generations from other manufacturers. It isn't a UPS. It does "pass though charging" which is actually different. They pass through power to the outlets while being plugged in and switch...

If no one will be home, then an AST is what you need but they are not as easy to just buy something and plug it all in. There are some small ones on the market for a home generator that would likely work, but I can't recommend anything in that size range as I have never used them. All my...

What is the scale of the variance on your small graph? Is it even meaningful? You also show a sharp drop before a slow rise. That seams more significant.

You are not going to want to connect the EV to your tank directly without some pretty good smarts, like an ATS as mentioned above. It will get complicated pretty quick unless you have a larger solution already, such as what is offered on the Ford Lightning and the entire house. Would be...

Wanted to clarify what I do. Adding corals to QT. Remove about 1 gallon from QT for dips, acclimation, rinses, etc. Replace QT water with 1 gal from DT. Replace DT with 1 gallon fresh SW. This acclimates corals to QT water not DT water. QT and DT gat a small water change. Adding Corals to...

FYI, mine is doing the same thing and I don't even dose Mg. Longer term graph shows constant increase every day. Only difference is the weird negative correlation with a Ca at the end of the shorter graph below (not sure what happened there). I figured Mg. and Ca. were just playing Musial...

I haven’t needed to dose anything, corals are fine and growing. You don’t need them to grow fast in QT and a water change is all you need. It’s only small frags, not a full reef. Big water change when you batch the corals out if you need to and you get a 1 gal water + change every time you...

I have snails in there. No medications. NO FISH. As I am stocking corals, it is always running. Can't imagine a day it would not be running as we are always adding corals. It is also a "frag tank" as well, but that is a secondary use. Since I have one tank, I have been procuring corals in...

I have a 10gal AIO that I cycled media in the DT sump. Placed in AIO, added lights and flow and she is on autopilot. No feeding, barely a WC and the tank looks better then the DT. Better to have more small tanks for QT then a big one as you reset the time clock when you add any corals. If you...

Where do we add the salt?

Pretty normal. Alk effects so much other stuff then just calcification that it can swing from Ca especially when calcification consumption is low. I’m just dosing Sodium Chloride now because I’m using about .15 dKH a day but almost no Ca. My calcification consumption is low so other usages are...

If it persists, it is internal worm or parasite. Keep watching them. It is not immediately deadly typically so should not be an immediate freak out. Could just be a one time thing too. Hopefully that is the case. To treat, you can mix Metro into their food using Focus. It is a powder that...

You go Gas Generator or a "Solar Generator". All the solar Generators are on sale today for Prime Day.
