    The orange ones look like eagle eye.

    Rich's home tank

    They make scales that you put under propane tanks to estimate their level. I think they are normally battery operated and Bluetooth, both of which might be issues. I wonder if you could adapt something like that.

    Fallow reset if I add dead/dry rock (like marco rocks)?

    No, you would not need to reset, assuming the rock was dry.

    One power supply to rule them all?

    I would likely mount this remotely from the tank, and run a cable into the stand, as open electronics like this in a salt moisture environment would worry me. But yes, point taken. Do you work in med device capital equipment? I work on the device side :D

    One power supply to rule them all?

    Is there any reason I couldn't use something like this: Mean Well LRS-350-24 DC Switching Power Supply, 24V 14.6A 350W https://a.co/d/2qu7hZ2 To power 4 pumps that are 24vdc and have a total power supply current of 10A? It seems like this would be a great way to reduce all the power supplies...

    Rich's home tank

    Ah, I did misread. I missed the "of the CO2" my mistake.

    Rich's home tank

    Not sure if this is meant as a joke or not, so apologies if it is, but this is not true. My 10# tank weighs 25 lbs full. I believe the contents (gas/liquid) weighs the rated # on the bottle. There should also be a tare weight, being the weight of the bottle itself. Those 2 together should be...

    Rich's home tank

    You could probably get a pressure switch to put in line, and connect it to a breakout box. You would have to set a limit for it to trigger, so it wouldn't be a variable output. But could help

    How do you use a Python water change system?

    I have a long python that reaches the utility sink in my garage. My mixing stating is right next to the sink. I use the faucet connection just to hold the hose in the sink. I plan to make something to hold a filter sock and attach the hose to in the sink rather than the faucet. I then connect...

    Mixing Station Setup help

    Personally, I would probably get a 7 stage ro unit if you're going to let it run whenever it wants to keep the top tank full. I believe tds creep will kill a mixed bed resin pretty quickly. Could be wrong though. Looks like you could put those 20g tanks side by side instead of on top of each...

    EMERGENCY!!! Looking for someone who can save my reef tank while I am away.

    Was the canister filter the only thing you had for flow? If you had other powerheads still running, it's likely fine...

    New Neptune Apex models available

    Is the 100w 24vdc different from what is in the current one? I think that's the part that fails right? The description is exactly the same as what's is on the 2016 apex systems. It doesn't seem like anything was changed with the eb832 Edit:I think it's the 12vdc power supply that people have...

    New Neptune Apex models available

    This was my impression too, without watching the video. Seems like on the pro they put an FMM in the main box, and include a couple of their new sensors. I think it's a nice "upgrade" and there seems to only be a slight price increase, so it definitely seems worth it if you're in the market for...

    At what pressure does your RO system run? An what’s the TDS of your supply in what area?

    Those pumps have adjustable pressure. There should be a set screw on the top that you can use to change the pressure. I think i run around 70-80psi, and I see incoming water anywhere from 150-400 tds in south San Jose. I run 2 ro membranes and separate anion/cation di resin.
