Current setup. I'd love critiques. Semi epoxied while I wait for nyos cement to arrive. This is a lot more rock than I used last time, but still doesn't feel too full so I'm ok with it. I tried to @Kensington Reefer style have more varied hides, and @Coral reefer dead spot reduction...

I have an X1 Pro on my frag tank dosing kalk, and I have it set to continuous dose in a sequence. My min is 0.1ml/minute. Where do you read that limit? My sequence: Lights on around 8am 9am ramp down to a small continuous 0.1ml dose, just to keep everything guaranteed primed 6pm begin ramp...

I'd take it when I come and drop off the cups/trolleys/...

What I'd be really interested to see is if someone just does a partial swap of certain things, how often does it lead to failure. For instance, I tore down my peninsula because we got our floors redone. I setup a rubbermaid tub (thanks @Srt4eric) with my corals, live rock, fish, all the water...

I had the floors redone so had to move everything out. Once removed, feels like I might as well future proof and replace some things.

They're stacked right now. I did it last night at 11:45pm :) I wasn't expecting to like it. Given positive vibes I'll drain the tank down and start cementing at some point this week. At that point I'll also be making sure it's nested on glass not sand. Thanks all! RE what will go on top...

Any opinions on this right side rock structure? I put it together really quickly out of rock I had on hand. I have all my original rock from before I tore this down still in the holding tub with the fish and coral, but I may get rid of some that have a bunch of shrooms. Given that I put other...

The XP8 is the missing link (dangalang clarified that above). When I was researching I only saw the wifi outlet which is why I was so confused.

I think given the costs involved, I'm going to just throw more wattage onto my ranco and toss a backup heater into my display. $580 is too out of range, I was hoping there was a $300 version of the hydros setup. I'll do 2 heaters on my ranco. My Jager in the main sump area because it's huge...

Ah, wonderful, that's the key point I wasn't grok'ing. Can you clarify what the minimum number of components to do temp check + hardlined outlet control? I see the XP8 has a command bus, but don't see it has a sensor input. I assume you then need a basic hydros separate controller + XP8?

Sticking with the references to Hydros, I don't understand how people are using Hydros + heaters in a safe and controlled way if I'm interpreting how it works right. A. Passive: Having a hydros monitor temperature and not control anything, that is reasonable to me, but adds no additional level...

I have apparently bought those glass Hitop ones twice based on my amazon history; I think from your recommendation. The titanium one is interesting, but it not saying how much it tries to hold the temp gives me pause (eg +- 1°F). What's your experience? Soooo expensive. Since I've learned my...

I am finally transferring things from my holding tank back into my display. In doing so I realized both my Hygger heaters are rusting! I feel I constantly am looking up heaters and just want to be done with this for good. What I have had or do have: Inkbirds: multiple of these, and I've always...

Continuing the OT discussion, if the accurate response to someone doing a semi-normal thing (filing DBTC requests) is "please don't use the DBTC system because it causes noise, and contact people directly", that may be a smell there's something awry with the DBTC setup. Maybe the "person has...

I just bought one of these in the recent coralvue sales for exactly this purpose (kalk dosing). Took me awhile to interpet the app, but I think it's very intuitive now and the pump seems great. Now from your link I see that deal is still going on, so I might buy another one right now! Edit...

Same situation for me. My frag tank I keep over permanently in there. My display i add one when I go out of town, though I might switch to permanently put one in there with black tubing ran along a back overflow and a bubbler in the sand so it's all invisible. Maybe give yours a try again to...

Perfect timing. Trustworthy brand, though given how similar this looks to the Amazon ones I'm wondering if they're white labeling something and if it's reliable given it's new. Have you had one for a long time and found it reliable? I like my other hygger stuff.

Both my USB, battery backup, turn on when the power cuts, bubblers died. Another exacerbating factor in my tank issues. Anyone have a recommendation for equivalent ones that last more than a year or so with minimal to no use? USB powered preferably. Maybe bonus points if the battery can be...

Thanks all! I have the return pump and Kalk dosing still working, which means the only thing it's currently lacking is maximum flow. I think it's stable enough that I'm not considering it an emergency, but I really do appreciate the offer. The tear down would be kinda sad, but also would be a...

My unlucky streak continues. Left town for a couple days, have all my backups in place, and of course right after leaving my primary power supply dies. I even got a wonderful alert via home assistant that my EcoFlow power output dropped to basically 0, but I was driving and assumed it was a...
