Interesting. Added to my watchlist. I'm sure there'll be a lot of negative reactions to it, but good to have an outside view on things to refresh blindspots. Has anyone watched it yet?

We just got ours done with very similar looking stuff. Very happy so far. Make sure to do the thing where you randomly stagger them. Does seem to really help. Are you going to put the tank on it, or have the tank directly on the subfloor? Pros and cons both ways.

I ended up pausing on this. I was running into the calibration issues people have with equipment that's basically the same (Kh carer, KHG). I then ran out of time and stopped fixing. I do want to fix this again, but I need to get all the acid + calibration fluids plus a couple hours. I can...

Also in case it's useful, my intuition would be unless that rock really really really smelled and visually you could see a bunch of dead stuff on it OR unless you removed a ton of rock and added a ton of rock, a 200 gallon tank having ammonia spike that high from just adding some rock seems...

@MichaelB, this is really sad and I'm sure frustrating/demoralizing. My sympathies. Adding a bit to @derek_SR's points, something here seems really weird. I think the questions aren't trying to disprove the original theory just in general, but if something weird happened it might be a sign the...

My experience is the right solution is what @Coral reefer and @Darkxerox said. Unless you have a foxface or something that already can eat all the GHA (which if so you likely wouldn't be asking), trying to fight a growth battle with algae vs coral is just frustration that will go on forever. It...

Two days ago my heater sensor alerted me before bed. I assumed it was cause I had the room heater off. I remotely turned it on and went to sleep. I woke up in the morning to my wife telling me my aquarium in the office was beeping. I went in and my return line had came loose and my pump was...

I have some in my display or at least did before I moved everything into a holding tank. I am not sure I'll move them back in given how quickly they can spread. I had a central rock that I still have no idea how they got onto (I think one detached and floated onto it) and even after scraping...

Is the goal to A. work with things related to a reef aquarium, based on your experience doing so, with minimal incremental prep Or B. work on a field related to reef aquariums even if it requires a lot of training I imagine doing aquarium maintenance is similar to A, and marine biology is...

My tank is a tub on my garage floor + my frag tank, since I haven't set up my display again yet. I'll probably sit this one out. Thanks for the ping though

FWIW I can super highly confirm that berghia nudis can survive with wrasses. I've seen my wrasses ignore ones floating in the water or suck in and spit them out. Similarly @dandemeyere had a bunch of wrasses in his tank last time I saw it, pre-aiptasia destruction by nudis. I can't say how/why...

I'm aligned that's a good/reasonable solution. The big thing though is all any of these solutions will help with is a very small amount of water. Realistically only helping catch the equivalent of a slightly leaking bulkhead until you visually see the drips or a leak sensor triggers. For...

Yesterday I was trying to clean out my overflow section. I had scraped a bunch of dead vermetids and wanted to flush it out with water. I put a bucket underneath, thinking it would catch the water. This was a very silly plan, and not only resulted in most water missing the bucket while I...

Frag swaps are the aquarium equivalent of a swinger party or visiting a brothel. The people there are people taking in things from everywhere. Always use protection (quarantine).

I believe you're saying that in the mindset of someone under NEM 2.0 or NEM 1.0. As of NEM 3.0, you never get "full retail credit value". My understanding is the buybacks are averaging around $0.05, and there literally are times of day/year where they pay back $0. The arbitrage people do under...

If you're near redwood City I can probably cut you a 12x12 piece of the netting. Besides the netting, there's no real difference to the aquarium frames versus the ones at Ace hardware. Though some have the tabs built in to allow nesting in the aquarium.

Sizing & ROI Regarding "I know the batteries are not really beneficial at the moment since I won't even be producing enough energy to fill them", the main thing to keep in mind is net metering (now managed via NEM 3.0) without a battery makes assessing production versus usage more complicated...

Ironically I gave one of those away last year thinking I'd never use it. However I don't have the space for it so probably good I did. I don't really get the difference between the continuous usage ones and normal. I assume they're all just stepper motors with a basic pump head on it. It'd be...

Picked up a x1t pro doser to act as my kalk doser, running it as a continuous instead of the bursty, dose every couple minutes, setup I have now. Thanks as well.
