Tank 13 months update:
+ Tearing down almost a whole tank to catch the 8" rabbitfish and the problematic 4" clown tang. The rabbitfish went to @Woeday and the clown tang is in the sump.
+ Adding 3 dispar + 3 lyretail anthias + junevile red coris clown wrasse
+ Major lost: green slimer, neon...
From my own nightmare experience, you should stay away from acanthurus clown tang. It is a horrible jerk - my 2-3 inches clown tang chases and bullies other 4-5-6 inches tangs (blue, chocolate, sailfin) and even 8 inches rabbitfish
I put a dry/wet sensor on the skimmate jug and connect it to the hydros to power off/shutdown the skimmer in case of overflow - or you can use your skimmer float sensor and skim dryer instead

Active fish with personality - following you around and waving its tail begging for food - eating nori, formula 1 & 2 flakes, dried and frozen foods, 1.7mm pellet.

Yes.
He is a great fish with personality but I am at that breaking point when the elegance and torch get infected and are in declining/dying state.
I have no idea how to catch him - he is too big for trap or net. Barbless hook?
Thanks for the warning.
So far his strong tail waving for food causes more trouble (torn elegance & torch flesh - caused infection)
Will keep him well fed and being busy with his toy.
Yes. And how many other companies with their own chaining-supplies from China cascade down to us.

Have you tried steps in section "To RE-PAIR your WiFi strip" in the url above?
Yes, this is a much cheaper solution comparing to XP8 unless you connect XP8 to another power source (battery) as redundant controller.
You can connect up to 8 of this - https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/hydros-power-4-wifi-power-strip-coralvue/ - to the launch
It's pretty good. It took ~10 days turn around for debugging/replacement of my bad water level sense probe.
3 messages with 1st tier support and 3 with engineer to debug within the first 2-3 days, then 7 days to receive the replacement
I'm not sure about their turn around for serious issues...
Switching direction to use X10 controller as dosing system, so new opened box Hydro iV v1 + brand new 2L alk reagent are free for supporting member.
