    Thesassyindian's 13.5 gallon m̶o̶n̶e̶y̶ ̶p̶i̶t̶ nano mixed reef

    Adding to the Murphy’s Law from my last post, I finally fou d the root cause that caused the slow deterioration of the tank. Blown channel in the Hydra26!! One consolation is knowing that I didn’t mess up my tank chemistry and cause this issue. In related news, anyone selling a good...

    Zoa dangers.

    Damn! So sorry for your loss Eric! After watching Julian Sprung’s talk at Reefapalooza, I remind my wife about palytoxins right before I start fragging / moving Zoas in my tank. Just so she is aware just in case anything happens. In case you haven’t seen it:

    Thesassyindian's 13.5 gallon m̶o̶n̶e̶y̶ ̶p̶i̶t̶ nano mixed reef

    When things go wrong, they all go wrong together. As it turns out, over the last two days, my 2 year old return pump has been failing intermittently. Thanks to alerts from the Apex, I am able to track when it stalls, and it takes a few toggles on the Apex dashboard to get it to start spinning...

    Algae comes off with a baster, along with a ton of polyps :(

    Thesassyindian's 13.5 gallon m̶o̶n̶e̶y̶ ̶p̶i̶t̶ nano mixed reef

    That’s the problem - almost all the tips are damaged. I’m currently missing 10gal water for my 12gal water volume. I’m matching the temperature and salinity to the tank params. Hopefully a fresh start will help?

    Thanks - hopefully I’ll be able to save the colony. Planning to do a 90% water change today or tomorrow. Hopefully that will help

    Thesassyindian's 13.5 gallon m̶o̶n̶e̶y̶ ̶p̶i̶t̶ nano mixed reef

    Ok folks, I need a little advice. Tank neglect with a newborn is real! I changed out my bottle of ESV B-ionic Alk with a new one, and looks like it mixed at a higher concentration than the one that was depleted. This caused my Alk to creep up to about 11dKH before I caught it. My LPS and most...

    Electronic components (100uF, 35v capacitor)

    I have tons of these caps. They are all 100V but should work perfectly for you.

    Photo booth for frags!!!

    Hey Eric, is the acrylic one I made not working well for you? Can you give me some brief feedback so I can update the design?

    Recommendations for dosing system for a small tank (24 gallon)

    Kamoer X1 Pro + ESV 2 part dosing. At least that's what I do on my 13gal nano.

    Light Recommendations?

    Absolutely love this! Only drawback would be the smell, since this is not in a sump inside a closed cabinet. Maybe a cover to go over the entire assembly would help solve the smell issue.

    Final stage of a Polychaete Epitoke - or simply Baby bristleworms.

    Where is the magnesium coming from?

    Ooh! please let me know how those work (outside of the current issue). Would love to save some $$$!

    Any Snorkeling Location for Maui

    Dude! Literally ANYWHERE! You don't need to go deep either! We could see a lot of fish in Kaanapali just about chest deep water. There are tours that take you to Molokini, which is fantastic! Other local spots are Olowalu Beach - right across from the fruit stand. You can park right next to the...

    Power supply / battery backup with multiple power inputs?

    Oh @richiev One main issue I foresee is this: Your car inverter is not going to be phase locked to the power grid, so there might be some weird behavior during switching. Depending on the phase difference in the car inverter output and line voltage, you may get a power cutoff or a spike. Make...

    Power supply / battery backup with multiple power inputs?

    @richiev As a carnerd myself, and possibly in the market to replace my wife's lemon hatchback, I am very interested in what EV you have.
