On floor that is. Have been finding almost one every day. One is under the dining room table 8 feet from the tank. Still alive! I don't use a tank cover for the moment since I have no jumpers. Has this happened to you?

Panic，which I experience a lot. Sometimes the best thing to do is to leave the tank alone.

No. Once it's in the "on" position the outlet cannot be controlled. But you can get an alert then manually set it back to auto.

Yep. Probably what happened.

Getting a probe for Christmas :)

This is the program: If Outlet Alk = ON Then ON Defer 002:00 Then ON This will set off the alarm when the Alk outlet is on for more than 2 mins for whatever reason.

That's probably what happened. Although still that's a lot of ALK. Just measured Calc is 350. This is low it should be around 420ppm with the IO salt. Mg is 1250ppm which is also lower than what I think it should be. I drip to the baffle there is a thin layer of precipitate which I removed...

I know I am a moron and I proved it again. I was testing my ALK doser and got distracted (this happens more often now) so I left it in the ON position. The next morning I noticed my ALK container was empty. You know the sinking feeling, right? There was at least 500ml of ALK in the bottle...

Always shoot for 35ppt. I have heard good things about coralife as well when I was in the salt research phase. I was thinking about adding some coralife to IO just in case but never did it.

Yes it does leave some residue but it kind of stick on the glass without affecting clarity of the water. I cleaned the mixing tank once a year so it doesn't really bother me. Mine always tested high on all parameters which has been baffling me. I got mine from trop and I test new box all the...

I bought two of these from CVS when they were on clearance for $3 per. Comes with buildin battery. I have the timer unplugged for 3 months the time was still good. Another nice thing about it is there is "on auto" and "off auto" modes, which sets the timer to be on or off then resume at the...

Dig the scape. I notice you have drilled separate holes for the return. Using both the holes in the overflow for drains?

After losing color for a few days I dialed down the T5 to 60% now I am slowly getting some color back. Growth has resumed especially the purple nana. Will do aquascaping this weekend. Right now everything just laying on the bottom. Night shot: DIY sump cover + drip tube holder.

Yep. It's probably made no impact.

Thanks guys, very helpful. Have not checked ph ever so it's not an essential piece of equipment for me. So the $12 eBay probe sounds good.

Saw the BRS video but like to hear from you.

I think the rock scape you have now is actually very nice. Has a very natural look to it.

Big thank you for the veterans, putting their lives on the line for the rest of us. As an immigrant who has been to a lot of countries there is no other country like America. If I have to choose again I will proudly choose this country again without a second thought.

I like UV even though I don't currently run one. I have run them for my freshwater tanks and it will at the minimum improve the clarify of your water. I am thinking about adding one in the near future.

That is indeed paradise! Hopefully one day I will visit there.
