Thank you @Mark_C for your extreme generosity, my MP40 is back up and running. I am deeply indebted to you for your gift of a replacement controller....actually two. Whatever you need let me know (except babysitting.....I don't that so well!), and I'll be there.

Thank you Mark and family for hosting. I totally enjoyed myself, hanging out in the kitchen. Old faces and some new friends.....extremely relaxing for me. Thank you once again for an enjoyable meeting.

Will do Bob. I've already gotten my Louisville Slugger out and taken a couple practice swings.......I'm warmed up. :biggrin:

Marcus ( @trio91 ), I picked up this fancy-pants Apex contraption from Bob today... at the meeting. I paid Bob cash, so now you owe me. It was decided that if you don't pay up, I get to break your legs! :eek: No rush picking it up.

Marcus, I can grab this for you if you're not at the meeting. At least it would be a little closer.

Just stay away from Coralife / Zilla / GE powerstrips that look like this: They have been known to burn down houses. Check our sticky HERE.

I don't know Apex and am partial to ReefKeeper, considering I have two old school ReefKeeper 2's running my tank. However......... I'm a little surprised ReefKeeper Lite is still around considering the original Reefkeeper is GONE and replaced by Archon. I'm surprised they haven't come out...

Check with Sunny and Joe (Horseplay).....they are in Monroe and Holmdel, respectively

I'm out Sunday morning....picking up a tank. I should be home around 11:30 - 12:00. Let me know if that works. I believe the Crown Royal is on Route 27 (Lincoln Highway).....about 10 miles away.

Powerhead Controller Bracket I don't llike Velcro, so I make little box brackets for what otherwise would be Velcro'ed in my equipment cabinet. Making these little things is actually therapy for me.......so last night was a therapy night in the shop, while I made a bracket to hold the...

I agree, Naso won't "fit" in your 90.....so go with a small Sally, that most likely won't bother your fish (assuming no tiny little fish), and when it gets big (by now the algae is gone) move him to your sump or re-home.

I'd suggest you start your own because you might have different issues.....start by telling all parameters, age of the tank, lighting, water change info, etc.

Let's take a step back...... What are your nitrate numbers (and phosphates).....and you're talking bleaching....so how old is the tank, what are your calcium, alkalinity and magnesium numbers? What lighting do you have? Fill us in on the water change schedule and how much you change...

If you know someone who belongs to one of the "club" stores, you can pick up the 13.5 pound bag of Arm and Hammer Baking Soda for about 6 bucks.....which will make about 12 gallons of Alk solution......dirt cheap!!!!

Sorry, Bill Wann in Wisconsin has this little 8000 gallon tank beat by a long shot. Bill's tank is 20,000 gallons....and yes, he needs to dive in it to clean it. Google Bill Wann Aquarium....you'll be amazed. Thanks for sharing.

Greatly appreciated....that will save me. I don't know what speed it's in.......I've got to believe some safety mode speed....but it's not that fast, and it's non-controllable. This is the second Vortech controller that's crapped out on me....the other was a much newer MP10. I did crack...

Don't know about Finnex. I will tell you that my second choice is Sera. I'll use their heaters when a Jager won't fit......that's my one complaint about Jager's, they are long.

I have the smaller Sicce Syncra on my biopellet reactor (I think the 1.0)....I believe they are all built the same.....they come apart very easily, so take it apart. There is a rubber o-ring around the faceplate of the pump. EDIT TO ADD: HERE's a video on taking apart a Sicce

I don't know Apex, but I'm surprised that it doesn't actually control your heaters. I have old school ReefKeeper 2 and it controls my two heaters from 78.0 to 78.3....never fluctuates from these temp's unless it's summer and I haven't turned on the air conditioner. Go Eheim Jager......twice...

I think they are just testing your email for when you decide to run for one of the positions on the Executive Board. :eek: Actually, I have no idea. I did just check my email and the only notifications I get are for PM's....otherwise, nothing else. By chance did you go into your...
