    VorTech Maintenance Exprise

    Could not figure out why my SPS were struggling; some dying. While doing some routine maintenance, I found this. I think I know the reason for the recent issues....<sigh>

    Troubleshooting the Apex

    Hello. I'm having some intermittent issues with my Apex. The screen is flickering and I've some spurious audio alarms (no text/email alerts) going off. I'm going to update the firmware this evening but does anyone in the NW area have a display module I can borrow to see if perhaps that's the...

    Wireless Apex fun

    Well, AT&T came out and ran a new cable into the house. We were experiencing Internet drop-outs and they determined a new physical cable was in order. To "help" us they only ran the cable through the nearest wall, putting in a new router in a new location. So now the Apex and one computer is...

    Skimmer dead

    It was making more noise than normal last night so I turned it off. Normally it makes noise when air gets into the pump. When I turned it back on, no workie... I'll take it apart and look for obstructions this evening. <sigh> Now on the hunt for a Bubble Magnus replacement pump...

    Fun times! Not!

    I went to feed the fish last night... When I opened the cabinet door, I was greeted by 4" of water in the stand. Thankfully the stand has about a 6" water-tight bathtub. Some quick work with the shop-vac and the water was cleaned up. The reason for the flooding was the stupid ()*&(& Two...

    Phantom Apex Alerts -- and the cause!

    So I've been digging Fusion control with my Apex. I've managed to attach my Radions via the WXM and have a virtual outlet to over-ride the light programming and turn the lights on for those times when the lights are normally off and someone comes by and wants to take a look -- something hard to...

    I've had this for a year without knowing...uh, what is it?

    Have a question. I've had this rock in the tank since July 8, 2011. I bought it from ReefRancher because of the nice zoas and other life. Ain't it pretty? Tonight my wife and I were looking around the tank for a missing fighting conch (who knew they buried themselves in the sand? OK -- put...

    Hey, Would anyone be willing to send me a copy of their current Apex outlog, datalog and status files? I don't have an Apex but am workin' on a thing in preparation for what I hope is a nice Christmas. Thanks, scott (insert the at sign) texanreef *insert the dot com thing*

    Three day weekend and y'all are not posting. As for me, I'm putting in the new sump and probably moving some corals just because. What are you doing?

    Ghetto drip feeder

    My wife said I could get a dosing pump setup after I almost nuked the tank -- yet another “Oops” on the way to becoming competent at this hobby. I surprised her with this ghetto drip feeder. Yes, I'm a terribad photographer. I keep waiting for someone to come drink my beer and snap some...

    Hold off LEDs and Save?

    Interesting but obvious. Like every commodity, LEDs will follow the supply and demand curve. And like any electronic, what you buy today will be obsolete tomorrow. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-06-15/led-lighting-prices-to-plummet-by-2015-vantagepoint-ceo-says.html

    Dosing, Reactor or Reacting?

    So, the age-old questions comes around again... I'm ready to stop the "reacting" of manual dosing to raise dKH and Ca. My options seem to be: Calcium Reactor: o High initial cost o Lower cost over time Dosing: o Lower (but still substantial considering I do not have a controller)...
