In my experience, those push connect solenoids will eventually not fully close and slowly drip/leak even when power is off. I have opted to switch everything out to one of these two 9-36V/24V 1/2" motorized ball valves. Usually the US Solid brand. https://a.co/d/5XrxWbT...

After the dino problem in the frag tank last summer, this thing just seemed to stall completely. So, I thought I'd help it move along and cut it into a few pieces. I cut this Jan 29. And here it is today. Hopefully, this will start to go vertical soon.

Sheesh, this thing has some seriously long tentacles for a torch with such a small, tiny skeleton.

You can set it in the email or sound alerts like above or go to the "Inputs" section and select Alk/Ca/Mg and set range for the alarm.

There is none. All that you can expect is that the person is the original buyer and has their invoice/receipt. Very rarely will it pass further than that.

I have a Calikid secret society. Which pretty much looks like a Master Torch.

There are species that bred in saltwater, but they obviously breed/live near the coast. Not sure if they make it inland or not once they're flying. https://www.smcmvcd.org/seasonal-mosquitoes#:~:text=California%20Salt%20Marsh%20Mosquito%20(Aedes,edges%20of%20natural%20water%20sources.

I don't really fish them out. I have a sponge I use to keep the water splashing to an minimum and I just take that out and shake it in a bucket. Can get a handful every few days. I feed New Life Spectrum pellets mixed in with some Reef Chili twice a day from an auto feeder, once a day I feed...

150 Gallon Tank (Day 60) While the tank has been clearing up from the bacterial bloom, the water has finally reached a point where it's close to being crystal clear. While a good chunk of the cloudiness cleared up, it took a while longer than I thought it would to get rid of the last little...

If i actually ever had mechanical filtration in my tanks and I used something like this, I'd take it the pressure washer to it. That would probably clean it up in minutes.

Using a secondary reactor filled with more media. Dosing kalk (everyone's favorite). Making sure there is really good gas exchange (skimmer or surface agitation).

The AC ones. I'm actually replacing all the ones that were on my calcium reactors and media reactors. I just find in general the seem to start rattling in the any of the synchra line of pumps. Not sure if the impellers swells or gets warped, but they all end up being noisy for me.

Sicce Synchra Silent pumped are anything but silent. I've been slowly replacing them on anything I have running on the tanks.

Red planaria are not always red. Can be tan, brown or rust colored. They usually have at least an orange dot near the tail, but always have that characteristic fork as a tail.

Everyone says this and I completely understand the details behind it but I haven't had an issue with Carbon Dosers and no random co2 dumps for the last 7 years. I also have four of them running.

Have you ever had a calcium reactor? A co2 tank if it's 10lbs will last a year if not more. If you size your reactor to be large enough, you change that media once maybe twice a year. pH probes shouldn't need to be calibrated more than once a quarter and to be honest, it's been over a year since...

Red planaria

So you fell? ;)

Man...i know if that was me, I'd slip and my reaction would be to grab the glass to hold on and knowing my luck, I'd rip that glass panel off in the process.

Not sure what you mean by tinkering. I honestly set my calcium reactors and don't touch it or any of the pumps except for once or maybe twice a YEAR, that's not months or weeks, but YEAR. Edit: okay, mostly true. If corals are growing well, I do need to increase effluent drip rate or co2...
