The towel gives it away.

I promise we can rule this out :). Maybe it is as simple as this. It just seems to close up quicker and more frequently while the other stays extended for most of the day.

Same here - maybe I should thank RedSea that their ATO sucked so much that I was ultimately forced to do it. Next will be my frag tank where I replace the supper annoying (although reliable) Tunze ATO (old version).

Maybe not a great video to demonstrate this but this two head cotton candy coral has one head seemingly less happy then the other (left, less extended than right). What could be the reason?

Yes, correct.

RedSea ATO refilled a lot this morning (I had to manually stop it at one point), but the app showed no refill since yesterday, and water level just above the desired level, while the actual water level was far above what I am aiming for. I was anyway planning to replace this ATO with the...

Same here. The ATO was the last product I thought deserved a shot since it measures water refill amounts, is remotely accessible etc.

Against my previous advice, not the RedSea ATO. I will replace it today with the Hydros. This is what it is reading right now, after refilling 2 gallons and the water level is far higher than desired.

Thanks so much - forgot to update that Andy / @ReyDeFarts offered to bring one tomorrow. Apologies. Edit: But thinking about this, I might have two spots for them so would still like to take yours too. Thank you!

I very much like how different this is, how it looks, and your approach to many others. Only question - what is the ammonia badge for? This tank has gone through the cycle by now.

Nice one.

I decided short notice to go to the swap - cannot miss these events :) - and I put you down for the last one. Just connect with me tomorrow.

Would anyone be willing to bring a frag / larger frag of a green plating montipora? I believe it its Montipora capricornis. Something that grows as per the picture. I do not think I have seen them in recent swaps but love how they look like together with the red ones. Happy to trade or pay for it.

Welcome Scot! To get most out of your membership you have to attend one of our signature events, which is the members frag swap. Your green monti reminded me to ask if someone could bring a frag to the swap.

That's a good point. It is flexible but admittedly not of great quality. I was just happy to find one, but I now think that I should have bought two of them. Hopefully, it will last until next year, when we will be going back again.

Yes, that was my first thought that the probes were overwhelmed by the particles, but the same effect happened again without glass cleaning. Btw, PH is now almost better with all of us at home haha.

Yes, but this is not what I am saying - more like - when you hear hooves, don’t always bet on horses. There is an impact on PH in our colder months (I do not call them winter since I lived in Chicago and Germany previously), which can be observed (due to high ambient CO2) and which makes sense...

Looks like I will be able to make it despite catching up with tank maintenance. I will bring a box with freebie stuff I am constantly collecting between the swaps, but I also promised some corals: @Invictus / @MichaelB - Please let me know if you still want me to bring the green candy canes, as...

Yes, we need to think broader than just these basic mechanics of PH impacted by alk and ambient CO2. Bacteria on (often massive) surfaces inside the tank might contribute equally or more to high CO2 levels inside the water, in some tanks. I believe mine has excessive bacteria depots from heavy...

Fantastic news Kenny - thanks for letting me know! Sounds like she back to her old self haha. Will connect for pick up.
