I just realized one difference, you're discussing Silicon Valley Power versus I was meaning Silicon Valley Clean Energy. SVP being a Santa Clara oddity different than all the other setups (SVCE / Peninsula Clean Energy / ...), and things about it others outside of there should ignore. Seems like...

I feed TDO pellets on my display with whatever Eheim'ish knockoff was on Amazon. I feed Reef Jerky with an Avast on my frag tank. If you're just feeding TDO, you certainly can use an Avast but there's no real need to spend that much cash on it in my experience.

Can you share the exact question and answer, assuming it was over email or something?

Interesting. Not going to thread hijack this one, but I'm going to look into this more myself as well. If you find anything fully conclusive please LMK. Edit: my quick read (I'll read more) is this is very confusing, but I don't think you get paid more for SVCE. I read it as effectively For...

I am not an expert on Silicon Valley power, but your description of their payback being better than PGE doesn't match my understanding. NEM 3.0 is a California level thing, not a PGE thing. From a quick search online I believe there may be some different ways SV handles payback if you produce...

Solar is awesome, as is free stuff. Really interesting situation you may be eligible for. That being said, solar sales people can be scummy, particularly anyone going door to door selling. Even more so if someone's offering a bunch of things under auspices of "it'll be free; we'll even give you...

Any chance the feeding setup was not good? It looks like salt creep, as if there was air in the UV and it was somehow evaporating. For instance, setup horizontally, with an air bubble at the top of the bulb. Seems highly implausible that could happen, but very weird.

Same for me, but a different run of it I believe. Not trying to start a which hunt or attack on Rod's, just has been a very weird correlation. I am very very confident I've had repeated torch issues correlated with feeding this, and other LPS issues. In retrospect I should've considered it...

Cross referenced with @finalphaze987 off thread. Both of us had issues correlated with the herbivore blend feeding. Looks to be different lots.

Hmmm. Very interesting. Edit: adding more to this, my bag is almost used. I've had multiple LPS die offs though in my display awhile back, and looking back they were correlated with feeding this. I didn't really connect the dots because I assumed it was me overthinking it or because I had...

To clarify, there was no spot feeding. Broadcast fed. Dumped into both tanks after letting it thaw enough to separate when stirred. Spot feeding or not I'd love to see a separate thread created for.

I mostly fed Reef Jerky + freeze dried mysis in my frag tank. I mostly feed TDO in my display. Sometimes seaweed. Historically I've had weird issues with LPS, particularly some torches. Things have been stable, but I accidentally had N&P almost bottom out in my frag tank due to adding lights...

Redwood City, I have some cages or can print.

RE getting numbers higher, my understanding is booster pump is for sure a key part of that, as can things like water temp help. Exact targets I think the membranes say. However at some point the more you push through, the more you have things pass through, which then get caught by your DI...

Related to @ReyDeFarts point, what are you expecting to connect this sensor to? For my use-case, I have a bunch of ESP32s that these can be used with, and there's some stock ESPHome recipes one can use in combination with Home Assistant.

I've used both. I have not found them to be easy to get working. Particularly they aren't going to measure minor fluctuations, and getting them tuned to the specific container I found to be a PITA. I was hoping to use them as a backup float sensor, but eventually gave up. They certainly do...

Reviving an old thread. I am debating refurbishing some old mp10s I have. I need to replace one dry side for sure, another is kinda loud, and I need to replace a wetside. Dry sides cost almost as much as one of these jebaos. Anyone have a long term review? MP10 equivalent and MP40 equivalent...

Somewhat joking, but assuming they grow fast like normal zoas, the other option is put on gloves & goggles and crack the rock with a chisel and hammer. The rock should crack or shatter, and you then have a bunch of frags. Likely would damage some, but they're zoas and will grow back anyway.

Caveat that if you're doing acrylic glue-ups I believe you're not supposed to use a laser cutter. It doesn't give an appropriate edge unless you do post-processing. Might matter less for this sort of use-case though versus something holding water.

That is so large I don't even know what I'm looking at. (that's what she said)
