Just plug the new one in after unplugging the old one. No need to remove from software. You will need to calibrate the probe if it's a pH or Salinity probe.

But that is in essence is what you're doing. I'll be the first to tell you there are many ways to skin this cat. But you are constantly hating on carx stating they're difficult and tedious, but have no experience with them. You're putting bias on it when no one said calcium reactors were the...

I think you need to set up a calcium reactor before you keep complaining that it's too complicated and hard to maintain. Apologies to be blunt, but you keep pushing this idea that it is hard, but you actually haven't done it to know from experience if it's painful or not. Set one up and if you...

Adding a fan will also cost you more heating costs because of evaporative cooling.

yes, in theory all three of those are the same from a dwell time perspective. Having two in parallel could avoid unnecessary (potentially small) complications. However: 1. maintenance is not the same 2. Need to ensure that the correct flow for both UV units vs. one if done in series 3. Chance...

Innovative Marine has options with sump and without.

That's assuming that the cars go on each road and don't take a detour and promise to immediately make a u-turn and go back through one of the two roads before going somewhere else on one of the non-designated roads....

Not the same at all. Running in serial essentially makes the two UV units one UV unit with near constant exposure to UV through both UV units. Cycling water through one UV and then through the entire tank in hopes it will go through the UV again is not the same and would not count toward dwell...

I think for turnover rate of water. Unless you planned the plumbing in different input and outputs, there would be some amount using already UV sterilized water if running in parallel. It could be minimal and not be a factor. Plus in parallel would complicate things in terms of plumbing or an...

Initial thoughts: think I would run in series around 600 GPH. Based on getting 2x turnover and these posts about ich and exposure. Post in thread 'Tank Journal - No Tank' https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/tank-journal-no-tank.23973/post-351214 Post in thread 'Tank Journal - No Tank'...

1g of KCl will add roughly 1ppm of Potassium per 265 gallons. So for my 150 gallon tank which is probably around 160 gallons, that was around 0.6g per 1 ppm of Potassium. So I put in around 18g over a period of a couple days.

150 Gallon Tank (Day 123) My kryptonite, maybe almost everyone's? I've tried to keep speciosa alive a number of times, but that just always ended up in pure dead sadness. So, giving it yet another shot. It has a lot of coloring up to do and is supposed eventually show shades of pink and...

Consider propane. Propane provides less power in the same size unit as gas, but gas requires adding stabilizers to the fuel or cycling through the gas before it goes "bad." Propane storage requires no maintenance.

Innovative Marine makes tanks both internal and external overflow options. Look up the EXT innovative marine tanks. https://www.innovative-marine.com/shop/EXT-Aquariums-c47404608

Dunno how it happened, but a number of tentacles have twisted themselves and created a spiral color of gold on some of the tentacles. It started a while ago with just one, but the number of them are growing.

Operating as indicated

@derek_SR. Dude. This is totally the solution to your coloration problem in your tank. 100% guaranteed to work for you. You're welcome! https://oceanaquaria.com/product-category/artificial-corals/acropora/

Finally shutting down your 72 nano tanks and consolidating to two or three 300 gallon tanks.

Livermore at Coast Fire Equipment. "We do fill C02 cylinders, cost of a 5# $31 and 10# $39 plus tax." That sounds ridiculously cheap. Even cheaper than I was paying 5 years ago. Are you sure they weren't smoking some of their plants when they charged you?
