I could be wrong but "larger" skimmers will move more water through and hence more effective at removing stuffs. I tried 4-5 different skimmers on my current tank and could definitely tell the difference in performance. The Nyos is some of quietest AC Skimmer; almost as quiet as some of the DC...

Glad it works perfect for you right away! I am skimming very wet with the head of the foams almost at the top so maybe that why I was having a hard time dialing it in

I have Nyos 220 on my S400. I also believe getting as big a skimmer as you can fit for future proof (as you could always reduce skimming time if needed). It might be too large for my system but I got it used from a buddy so no complaint. The Nyos is really nice but a real pia to dial in (but...

From my experience, it is a bit tricky to keep the pump straight up with the stiff cable/hose. What I did was wrapping the pump in Silicone Hose (secured with Ziptie). The pump is absolutely silent no matter what position it is in. The only way I know the ATO was running is from the water...

I am running (2) XR15 G5 Blue and (1) XR15 G5 Blue over my S400 (probably same dimensions as the Reefer 425?). The top of the tank is getting around 425-450 at the top. Plenty of PAR but do have shade/shadow areas so I am thinking of adding some T5 for better coverage. On the side note, mixed...

I got 2 emerald crabs as I have some in very hard to reach places. I just took those readily accessible with dental pick and tweezers. The problem with the Emerald started once the bubble algae got undercontroll. One started eating my Zoas (always seemed to go for the more expensive/desirable...

If I understand correctly, your microphone require 1.4V-1.5V. Most rechargeable AA only go to 1.2V so it might not work. There are some special Rechargeable AA go up to 1.5V. Just look them up on Amazon. I would try the regular rechargeable AA and see if they work for you. If not, get the 1.5V

I would definitely want to clear up the garage and have the crate inside. That way I could open up the crate and inspect for damage.

I guess Solar Net Metering isn't the same with local utilities providers! We are with PG&E so we will get credits for excess power at time of generation and will pay normal rate plus $0.03/kwh when pulling from the grid. Any excess at true-up will get wholesale rates (I believe...

Wow, are you on NEM 1 or 2.0? Also, your rate is crazy low at only $0.12 per kWh. We are in process of finishing up 7.2kw system and that would offset about 90%-95% of our usage. We are on PG&E and our rates are more than 3X your so that helped justify the costs.

Beautiful collection! I think we might have gotten the Chalice from the same source

I believe the natural gas ban are at the local level. My work place (in San Jose) just installed a generator back up (as part of emergency readiness preparation) and was forced to install a giant Diesel Generator because San Jose bans Natural gas. Talk about freaking craziness!

I purchased a used JBJ and running Citric Acid about 24 hours then switch to Vinegar solution for another 48 hours. The Chiller was only used for less than 4 months but sat around for over a year so there were lot of stuffs came out. Then I flush it with Regular water then RO/DI before hooked...

Thank you! My buddy gave me those Dragon Breath and I ziptied them to the return nozzle. Yes, the Fathead was in my 34gal Cube. I just got rid of the tank and I love it so much that I transferred to my big tank. So far so good; he was the last one in so I think it helps with aggression plus I...

I have the opposite issue with IO RC. I have never tested the tank for Magnesium since setting up almost 2 years ago. Buddy said I should test for MG and multiple times they were over 1,500 with Salifest kit. I am dosing All for Reef so not sure if it has anything to do with it. From what I...

I don't have any tip but I have great luck with the 3 I got from Quality Marine (buddy with Whole sale license ordered them for me). Kinda took my chances (was going on vacation 1 days after received theme) and put them straight the the Display tank. One got very aggressive until it turned...

Oh man, so sorry to hear the bad news! This is why I got so stressed out every time we went on vacations. BTW, what kind of power strip/plug was it? One of the Smart Power Strip like Kasa?

Just PM you! I work in San Jose and will try to help out.

Cool story! Was the gains confirmed with actual Dyno results or just "butt dyno"?

Yes, I paid around $275 for the conversion kit but definitely worth it if I don't have to worry about storing gasoline and the related maintenance issues. The Conversion also voided the warranty but I figured the warranty will be expired way before I get that many hours in the generator
