Test the water with a volt meter. It will give you a better idea of what is going on. Ground probes are ok. But not a solution. Unplug one module at a time. When the volts drop close to zero. That’s the bad unit. But like Tu said. 99% of the time it’s the heater. But back in the day. I had a...

Those are power hogs. If only electricity was free. It would make my life so much easier

It’s chose chip frig right ? Not a real frig ? IE condenser and Freon.

Therapeutic starts at 1.75. They say once you pass 1.00 do not add any more fish.

Throw me in the mix Adian

I’ll trade boring for heartbreak any day. All I have is reef drama. Consider yourself extremely blessed.

I’m gonna go against what some of you guys said. I’m not a fan of fast ramping copper. I’ve done it in the past. I think it shocks the fish. They become extremely lethargic. Even when I slow ramp. 0.25-0.5 over 6-8 hours. Some fish are still tweeky. It something takes 3-5 days for the fish to...

Link is no bueno

In qt. Everything is supposed to be hard man made surfaces. It makes for no med absorption. Rocks , sand and whatnot will absorb meds and may releach at a later time.

The best way to introduce and control bio is those freshwater sponge filters. I use that ( large size ) or long strips of those pre filter mesh. It’s close to the same material. It takes a few weeks for them to seed. Then when I think they have too much gunk or whatever. I rinse them with...

Fastest Practical Setup and Techniques 1. Start with a dedicated culture system
Use a separate small tank, sump section, or shallow tray/container (e.g., 4–10 inches deep water) to avoid contaminating your main reef. Many people use plastic trays, small buckets, or 5–10 gallon setups with...

I would like a frag of this one. This post was automatically created by BARcode

Then macro shots are your friend

Totally agree. Lots of other stuff plays into it too. Meds, salt , energy, knowledge , death etc. QTing is definitely brutal and not for the faint of heart. It’s definitely depressing.
