    Cilyjr's 470 gallon display

    Fascinating to see the amount of effort that you had to put into all of this, and how well planned everything was. Also, very impressed by your DIY skills. Curious to read in your next update what happened to the fish when transferring them over. It seems like keeping animals in a temporary...

    Thanks for sharing. A really great deal is the blotched anthias. Yet, I would always pay more for fish and buy them from Kenny. And, well, the more questionable offer is the pricing for the holy grail :).

    Alternative power back-up solutions (not Ecoflow brand)

    Looks like the EcoFlow is the slowest switcher of the three, but this is also not the newest model. All of them can do the UPS/pass through mode.

    My hallway did not have any outlet when I got my tank, and the one it has now was also installed by a professional electrician :) - he might actually be reading this post :). Seriously though, no problem if you are poking holes into my setup - I absolutely do not believe how I have done this...

    Alternative power back-up solutions (not Ecoflow brand)

    Also found this, which seems very good too, and the company seems to be from California.

    Mindnote - for mindmapping primarily, no so much flow charting, but it worked for this too.

    Yes, these wifi plugs are cheap quality. The reasons why I did not plug the heaters into the XP8 are twofold: - The XP8 is connected to the power back up, and I do not want to drain the battery during a power outage. - Also, if the heater is going through the power back up, the DELTA keeps...

    Agreed, and good catch. It's my Achilles heel. I have been waiting to get a better price on the XP8 as the power strips should not have any (high powered) heater plugged into them. Unfortunately, there is no other circuit available in my hallway so separating them is not possible. Also, the...

    Alternative power back-up solutions (not Ecoflow brand)

    Given the incident this morning regarding my Ecoflow Power Backup (refer to tank journal), I am considering switching brands. Has anyone used this one? Limited-time deal: BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 Portable Power Station with Car Charging Cable (Car Port to XT60), 2073.6Wh LFP Battery Backup w/ 4...

    Agreed, timing could have not been worse. I am currently not using an Inkbird for water temperature alarms. I have two temp probes which produce an audible alarm if the temperature drops below 76F. However, they need power to operate. So during a power outage, they would be powered through...

    Avoided a massive disaster this morning resulting from a faulty Ecoflow DELTA 2 Unit. In summary, on or before 1 am tonight, the back up unit turned off its power ports without reasons, turning off all Hydros devices connected to them. Temperature dropped to 74F, and only two MP40s remained...

    Hair algae, what inverts should I get??

    100% in camp urchin but I strongly believe that the sea hare should get the credit in your case. Urchins just make sure it is not coming back.

    Willie’s Last Aquarium Build

    Impressive though, how you were able to fix all of this and remain resilient overall. Each one of these issues would have made me doubt to remain in the hobby.

    Issues with keeping livestock in a temporary holding tank

    I am not a subscriber (or fan), but I have watched him in beginning when I started out. I think there are always a lot of learnings from big negative events, curious what you think led to the heavy livestock losses he encountered? The fact that he did not use a skimmer and/or carbon when...

    No clue and someone already claimed them, hence the pending status on the thread title.

    What’s Your Favorite Sand?

    I would have voted for Carib sea special grade which I have, but that Aquaforest sand looks very nice. I assume nothing weird coming through ICP? Only downside I can see is that if you add live sand for biodiversity which I do on a 6 months basis it might look odd with this clean looking sand.

    I am using this one too. Powerful enough for even large tanks. I am running it at the lowest setting 24/7. Definitely a great price. They have the air dryer on sale too, but still too expensive.
