    Issues with Corals Slowly Dying

    So I finally got my bacteria test results. A bit low diversity, but doesn't seem like anything harmful to coral is really present. 1002233_Microbiome_Report I guess the mystery continues

    Where To Get Syringes?

    I've tried to buy them at pharmacies before and they won't let me. I think it depends who you ask. Hard to believe I may look like more of an addict than cody though :ROFLMAO:

    Issues with Corals Slowly Dying

    Ya that was one place I checked when the issue first happened. Got new t5 lights about 4 months ago but no improvement really. The cipro seems to be helping or at the least giving a placebo effect

    Issues with Corals Slowly Dying

    I've got two radion xr15s running at about 75% for 8 hours with an hour ramp up and down. Then I have 2 blue plus and 2 purple plus 48" running about 6 hours a day. Used to do more lighting but have turned it down since having issues. But it didn't change anything

    Issues with Corals Slowly Dying

    I guess bacteria is one possibility. I'll try one of those aquabiome tests then look into cipro. Flow has been pretty much the same forever. I have an mp10 and mp40 on the tank. Everything is gently flowing in the current. I have turned down the lighting some as the coral condition has...

    Issues with Corals Slowly Dying

    For the last few months all of my coral has been slowly dying 1 by 1. It is mostly LPS, some casualties to now are an elegance, two torches, zoas, and a frogspawn. It has now started happening to my goni and acans. I've attached a photo of the goni. You can see it has started having some brown...

    Multi-Tank Dashboard: Home Assistant

    Not sure what he's using for the dash, but I use the apex charts card and it's super customizable for everything I need. Also definitely agree, not worth running it on docker. Buy a little mini-pc for <$100 and install hassos on it.

    Sad Day, thanks Apex :x

    Sorry to hear about that. Had similar issue before. An additional, fairly cheap redundancy is to plug your heater (or controller) into a smart outlet. Then monitor the power usage since your heater is likely your highest power usage in the tank so you can see when it goes on and off on a graph...

    April BINGO Night sponsored by MARSH

    Thanks for all the work yall put into this. The bingo rhymes were a nice upgrade from previous bingo nights. @Cody 's were getting a bit stale!

    Old vs New Reefers

    As a relatively new reefer I prefer forums for the simple fact that I can search them. Facebook will have much more repeated convos because I can't just hit the search bar and see who's had and solved the same issue as me ten years ago.

    Time to clean those pumps!

    Are you selling any frags off of that?

    “Load Shed Events” -Abbott

    That's the bad thing about buying a big back up generator setup. You almost are hoping for a chance to use it!

    MANA

    I'm not seeing it. VR headsets currently suck too much and why would I trust the Zucc with all my banking info?

    Battery Back up options? - nooby

    When I was starting out I used a car battery and an inverter to run just the pumps. Pretty manual but a lot cheaper than most options.

    Do you clean your sand bed and what technique do you use?

    I vacuum on occasion but my engineer goby basically never stops digging

    Alk match

    If you have your alk and cal dosing stable won't your tank cal and alk naturally match your salt water eventually as long as you use the same salt all the time?

    Discuss Were you prepared for the freeze?

    This is the solution I used. We just had a 400w inverter which was enough to run pumps and a single heater for around 6 hours. We used deep cycle batteries which are designed to be deep discharged so it doesn't mess up their life so much to drain them. I keep one on a battery tender just in case.

    Marcus and Camille's 75 gallon

    Post freeze everything seems to have survived. We lost power for about a day and the apartment temperature got to 55F. We used a 400w inverter and car battery to keep a heater and pump running but still had to spend some time boiling water with a camp stove and the water still dropped to around...

    Live Streaming

    It sounds pretty cool. Might give me a reason to finally setup a webcam on my tank like I've been considering.

    Freezing temperature and storage tanks?

    That depends on the depth of the vessel really. You're making me pull out my thermodynamics textbook haha. It will begin freezing at the surface. Because colder water rises. Then the sides and bottom last. At this point the inside will be liquid and will expand in all directions including...
