    Velcro for cable management for sure as @Darkxerox mentioned. Zip ties will bring frustration. Wire wraps like @Don.Julio91 suggested will clean up the appearance a lot. You could also utilize wall mount cable management (wire raceway) options to run the wires in. The only issue I see is the...

    aquatic Iris's

    Beautiful! One thing I have wanted in our home, is a pond. Do you have fish in there too? What a wonderfully healthy and happy turtle too.

    Oceanic 40gallon Sps tank.

    Which model are you using? The single probe versions 308 or 306 (dual probe).

    Oceanic 40gallon Sps tank.

    Technically, if one fails you will get the temp difference alarm. So it's the same alarm if one of the probes gets yanked out of the water for some reason. You are doing a calibration every 4 weeks?! :oops: I do not calibrate if I see a 0.2 deviation. I ignore it. It would need to see at...

    Oceanic 40gallon Sps tank.

    Inkbird 306A WiFi version is my preference. Dual probes for more accuracy, dare I say precision. Alarms (app notifications and audible) when there is a large enough difference between the two probes. Alarms if either of the two probes go bad. And it has 2 outlets for dual heaters if you want...

    Flat worm id?

    What did your copepod population look like before the fw explosion? If you observe these long enough, you may find them hunting copepods. These are a type of planaria that self-regulate their population typically with the availability of food. This infestation took some time to occur. When was...

    Calcium Reactors

    That was one of my concerns... depressed pH. What is the best way to combat that when running a carx? First time using that analogy ;) and feeling a teeny bit cooler now.

    Black Sponge ID?!

    Thanks bud! I appreciate the insight and wisdom. I'll get a piece and throw it in the sump to see what happens. I didn't consider either of those as a reason for why it's that dark.

    Black Sponge ID?!

    Yours is growing toward the dark? This one doesn't have much of a choice where it's at. :confused: Also, it is attached to a very large rock base. I'll try to get a better pic of the whole thing later. It would be nice to see if I can somehow get a piece off to throw it in the sump to see if it...

    Black Sponge ID?!

    I agree with this. Very slow growth. I'm not concerned about it taking over. I'm intrigued and would prefer to keep it alive the best I can. It is currently only shaded by the structure of the large toadstool. It doesn't seem to mind that it gets quite a bit of light. Would it be better to try...

    Calcium Reactors

    @derek_SR I will do my best to not hijack. What's the right approach to ensure you get the right sized reactor btw? My hope was to run kalk in the garage also. But I had a feeling I would end up being forced to do 2-part eventually. Thankfully there's only a wall and a few feet where I wanted...

    Calcium Reactors

    Glad you asked this question. I'm in the middle of planning for how to provide key elements for a new system. Go the kalk method and supplement with 2 part. Or go with a Cal Reactor. I appreciate being able to read and learn.

    Black Sponge ID?!

    Thanks for sharing that. I've never tried Perplexity. I appreciate the insight. I'll plug in that genus and species and see what more I can learn. Although, it definitely does not have the ball shape indicated by the pictures of that species.

    Black Sponge ID?!

    I need some help with the ID of this sponge please. These few have not spread much, but seem to have grown a little. It is attached to the rock base of a very large unknown Sarcophyton. I'll post pics of that toadstool at another time in the hopes of getting an ID as well. I need to get good...

    Highly likely, but not 100%. I'm sorry. If you'd prefer me to remove ourselves for others that can confirm, I understand.
