    High Ph

    I use the pinpoint probe. They work fine unless you crack them and are usually around $35.

    Opinion on these hitchhikers...

    Looks like some sort of isopod. @tribbitt might know

    Thomas' 29G TruVu

    Update: Got a package from Biota today! First captive bred Forcipiger flavissimus available to the hobby: Next to the also tiny Zebrasoma flavescens who is scared of everything (probably hasn't ever seen corals or invertebrates): They're way too small (not even 2") for my Cade right now, so...

    Any way you could just take off the back shade?

    Darkxerox's '25 budget build

    Little bit of recession on the Duncan, so did a big water change (5gal). Swapped out the chemipure bag (free via SWA'a freebies). No other additions or changes. Shrimp are still doing well as are the crabs: Bubble algae seems to have come in on the cloves so I'll need to bring an emerald next...

    DBTC: Sprung's Burning Bush

    @Bryce.martin23 can you track this in BARcode? This way we can keep lineages etc. You post updates in there too. @derek_SR can help you if you have trouble. https://barcode.bareefers.org/bc/

    High daily alkalinity consumption - need advice

    Sell some coral, get some money for college? I think you're approaching the successful reefer's "not much actual water in my tank" phase that makes having a crash more likely (think Sanjay's situation). When you're riding the edge of failure, even a slight lapse in observation might put you in...

    Anybody Have Experience Setting Up a Temporary Aquarium in the Community?

    With the established media you're pretty much set for the clowns and nem. Just have good water movement and a heater, you don't even need a light if it's temporary. @Woeday has reasonable clowns. @Kensington Reefer has clowns too, not sure who's closer to you exactly.

    Planning for a new full-size aquarium (Ultum R120 or R150?) and full automation

    I'm biased of course, but if you want a different route, you could go with a CADE 1200 or 1500 in those dimensions. The side doors and integrated ATO have been pretty nice to work with. Only downside I've had is no Eurobrace to hold tools etc. but you can probably add one. Tariffs hit them hard...

    Nabil's 81G Fiji Cube

    That's weird, mine works fine during my feed mode and water change mode. There's a 5 minute delay for turning the skimmer back on and a 30s delay for turning my return back on in case I accidentally change modes. I've never had an overflow with the skimmer on a controlled outlet.

    Help - what to do after power outage

    The airstones should be enough for most of the day next time. Don't worry about running the heater since it's not going to matter during summer and lower temps actually increase oxygen solubility.

    Electrical advice - lighting fixtures - needs professional help (potentially)

    Have you put them on old style mechanical timers to troubleshoot?

    Inkbird inaccuracy

    Try power cycling them to see how they behave since that's often their failure point. In general you need to test all your systems to see how they react in a power outage and if they return to previous settings or that your sump doesn't overflow.

    Inkbird inaccuracy

    This. Avoid the Wi-Fi ones, those are what you hear crash tanks.
