My last Jager failed after a couple years. Stopped switching on.

Have a Ranco and a Hydros so triple redundancy. Plenty of room in the sump at least!

Did not have a problem with any of mine 100 - 600 watts. Just need to treat them nicely (or rather hope you did not get the bad batch that used to be out there).

Me too. Best of both worlds.
Tested things other than alkalinity for the first time since starting. I was doing my old one spoon of CaCl2 to two spoons of bicarb every other day and looks like I've been pretty much dead on just by observing the corals.
Alk: 7.44 dKH
Ca: 400 ppm
Mg: 1260 ppm
NO3: 13.4 ppm
PO4: 0.25 ppm
Definitely need to scrub/siphon the sump but at least the clams are growing and fully attached to the glass. I measured the Kessil putting out 450 umol which is pretty good and letting the clams develop more color:
Skimmer is absolutely rolling and pulling out the nastiest skimmate (aka nog for us old timers), especially after all the cyano and algae in the main tank died off.
