Anyone have their Plank flow in the feeding chamber slow down over time? I find myself keep adjusting the pump intake opening a couple of time a week. Its getting annoying,

Anyone doing a South Bay group buy from Nathan let me know. I would definitely like yo get a bottle of copepods.

Simple DIY. A 150ah battery + 600w inverter charger combo. I use a magnet to attach the inverter charger to the battery. It have 1 ac outlet. The battery have a Bluetooth connection so you can see the charge and discharge level.

I got this . Not the best looking but 2kwh $360 is hard to beat. Just tested it and it works great. It “should” last me 24h with heat and flow. Bluetooth connection to monitor the battery .

Hey @derek_SR . Is the offer still stand. I’ll pm you.

I’ll take it. But my next trip to Oakland is not for another 2 weeks. Can you hold?

Bought this low cost battery backup build for the tank. 2kwh for $360. 600W Sine Wave inverter, 25A charger with UPS function, which is perfect for my needs...

Thank you! I just pickup a Reed Octopus Varios 2 for $110. I'm using one right now for the last 3 years, doesn't hurt to have a back-up.

I actually had plan to expand into the laundry room behind the tank . There is an interior wall in btw, but it’s non structural. But it’s basically a non starter . Wife not giving up the laundry room . Haha

I would absolute do that if I have space. I have the tank in the living room and wife will kill me if i put a 5g bucket next to the tank permanently! Haha The agreement with the wife is everything must fit inside the cabinet.

Update on this thread. The next day the delta btw the 2 probe getting smaller. This morning, Alkatronic reported 7.9 , Milwaukee 8.1 Looks like it need a couple of days to stabilized?

Good to know it’s not unusual for the numbers to be off. I got the second ph probe to track significant ph driff . Stupid question. I have a hard time opening the brand new ph probe protective cap. Any tips? On the wilwaukee I ended up breaking one of the protective plastic thing on the...

Milwaukee - brand new Alkatronic - 8 months

I have been relying on ph value from Alkatronic. For fun I bought a standalone wilwaukee ph monitor mc120. Calibrated both Milwaukee and Alkatronic just now. Both are within 0.01 before adjustment/calibration. Run test on both : Milwaukee - 8.6 Alkatronic - 8.1 Kalk at 8dkh Both numbers are...

Just saw that this morning. Its not clear i should replace all the inner pump tubing, external tubing or both? I assume its the internal tube, which i see BRS sell them for $9 a pop. @derek_SR tagging you since i know you have a alkatronics for a while

Water change is my to go tool when i encounter problem in the tank, be it parameter out of whack , coral unhappy etc.

Awesome . I can only dream of having this type of setup. This is much better than a kalk reactor.

Suck them up during water change. I can’t think of anything else you can do.
