If you were running two, I would think in parallel is better. 600gph running through two in parallel is 300gph each. Less gph means longer dwell time. Longer dwell time means kill more stuff. If something gets through the first UV at 600gph why would it get killed by the second one?

I usually bring in a soft cooler. Will be a bummer if I start having to do the whole "leave it at the door" thing. That being said, this seems like a best case scenario for how this could've happened. Dude on 4k looking quality camera, obviously stealing. If anyone can get caught after a 1...

Zoas are pretty hardy. You can always do a high strength peroxide dip to clean em off. Either if you wanted to sell, or the next person who picks them up free, or getting em ready to try and sell to Neptune.

Future hack: if you have a gas stove or gas water heater you can float bags of hot water in the tank to try and boost the temp. Similar to floating bags/bottles of frozen water to cool it. A secondary electric source of course is an ideal, eg an ecoflow or a generator or just a neighbor you...

My experience is the inkbird probes. It starts as a little and then quickly tends to get out of control. One of mine I replaced the probe with another equivalent one bought from Amazon or AliExpress and it went back to normal. I am a big fan of frugality, but these inkbirds kill me. The Wi-Fi...

Can I get the chiller?

Do you own a multimeter? The most direct way to debug would be unplug both ends, connect the multimeter to both ends of the cable, and start wiggling things. When set to resistance mode, you should see it register 0 when the multimeter is connected to both ends. If the connection breaks, it'll...

Made some hexagon lights for my kids' desire to have a gamer room. Pretty stoked with how these turned out. 3d printed black outlines, white covers. Individually addressable LED light strips that I cut into 19 LED sections and soldered connectors to so it can be reshaped and pieces...

I'd take the drums. I might make one into a giant kalk reservoir.

such a pretty fish. I hope it works out!

If you're comfortable answering, how much did that AL for the stand cost? I assume it's cheaper than buying an equivalent, but that the raw material isn't cheap. My only comparison point is trying to buy t-slot AL which is crazy expensive.

From my experience, I'd toss another one under. Minimal to zero cost to do and can't hurt. If however it was to have sagging and weird seam pressure, who knows the implications. Even just a basic 2x4 standing vertically in the middle, though obviously harder with the sump in place. However, if...

Super cool stand work! I'm a little confused though. Super cool stand work then your tank is filled with rock and sand sitting on 2 sawhorses? I assume that's starboard underneath, but no concerns about the presumably temporary setup sagging and causing tank issues? I did a temporary setup with...

Things to look for when buying/setting up DC plugs: Gauge of the wire: limits the amps and voltage you can safely use (and the wattage which is for derivable from those). Eg 18awg. If you buy too weak a gauge (a bigger number) you can melt the wires and set yourself up for a short-circuit The...

This is 100% what I do, but now I'm going to find equivalent connectors to 3d print.

If you lose connectivity to your devices you can't edit anything Managing settings is very difficult, you can only have files you need to remember where to store The configuration of scenes is very unintuitive, feels like it was designed by an engineer trying to be fancy Lightning management is...

RE jebaos: I run jebao stuff on all my tanks. Cheap, move water, pretty efficient, in my experience reliable. So cheap in fact that you can just buy two and have a backup in case something does go wrong. The main reason IMO to buy something else is the jebao controllers are pretty basic and/or...

Next up you should cut a huge hole above the tank, install a skylight, and do a sun-lighted tank!

Tough situation. You did what are the core things I would think to do. Get a heater into the display. Presumably keep powerheads going. Stop the leak by remote controlling things. Did a great prep step of having a camera. If you can get someone able to check the seem for you to make sure it's...
