    Should Michael run a closed loop on his 210 gallon?

    If you lose connectivity to your devices you can't edit anything Managing settings is very difficult, you can only have files you need to remember where to store The configuration of scenes is very unintuitive, feels like it was designed by an engineer trying to be fancy Lightning management is...

    Should Michael run a closed loop on his 210 gallon?

    RE jebaos: I run jebao stuff on all my tanks. Cheap, move water, pretty efficient, in my experience reliable. So cheap in fact that you can just buy two and have a backup in case something does go wrong. The main reason IMO to buy something else is the jebao controllers are pretty basic and/or...

    New display at HTA

    Next up you should cut a huge hole above the tank, install a skylight, and do a sun-lighted tank!

    Thoughts on a Solution for Tank Starting to leak while on Vacation

    Tough situation. You did what are the core things I would think to do. Get a heater into the display. Presumably keep powerheads going. Stop the leak by remote controlling things. Did a great prep step of having a camera. If you can get someone able to check the seem for you to make sure it's...

    Sunrun/PGE Solar Panels

    I just realized one difference, you're discussing Silicon Valley Power versus I was meaning Silicon Valley Clean Energy. SVP being a Santa Clara oddity different than all the other setups (SVCE / Peninsula Clean Energy / ...), and things about it others outside of there should ignore. Seems like...

    Avast Marine Plank

    I feed TDO pellets on my display with whatever Eheim'ish knockoff was on Amazon. I feed Reef Jerky with an Avast on my frag tank. If you're just feeding TDO, you certainly can use an Avast but there's no real need to spend that much cash on it in my experience.

    Sunrun/PGE Solar Panels

    Can you share the exact question and answer, assuming it was over email or something?

    Sunrun/PGE Solar Panels

    Interesting. Not going to thread hijack this one, but I'm going to look into this more myself as well. If you find anything fully conclusive please LMK. Edit: my quick read (I'll read more) is this is very confusing, but I don't think you get paid more for SVCE. I read it as effectively For...

    Sunrun/PGE Solar Panels

    I am not an expert on Silicon Valley power, but your description of their payback being better than PGE doesn't match my understanding. NEM 3.0 is a California level thing, not a PGE thing. From a quick search online I believe there may be some different ways SV handles payback if you produce...

    Sunrun/PGE Solar Panels

    Solar is awesome, as is free stuff. Really interesting situation you may be eligible for. That being said, solar sales people can be scummy, particularly anyone going door to door selling. Even more so if someone's offering a bunch of things under auspices of "it'll be free; we'll even give you...

    UV sterilizer precipitate buildup

    Any chance the feeding setup was not good? It looks like salt creep, as if there was air in the UV and it was somehow evaporating. For instance, setup horizontally, with an air bubble at the top of the bulb. Seems highly implausible that could happen, but very weird.

    Fed Rod's food and a bunch of LPS died

    Same for me, but a different run of it I believe. Not trying to start a which hunt or attack on Rod's, just has been a very weird correlation. I am very very confident I've had repeated torch issues correlated with feeding this, and other LPS issues. In retrospect I should've considered it...

    Fed Rod's food and a bunch of LPS died

    Cross referenced with @finalphaze987 off thread. Both of us had issues correlated with the herbivore blend feeding. Looks to be different lots.

    Fed Rod's food and a bunch of LPS died

    Hmmm. Very interesting. Edit: adding more to this, my bag is almost used. I've had multiple LPS die offs though in my display awhile back, and looking back they were correlated with feeding this. I didn't really connect the dots because I assumed it was me overthinking it or because I had...

    Fed Rod's food and a bunch of LPS died

    To clarify, there was no spot feeding. Broadcast fed. Dumped into both tanks after letting it thaw enough to separate when stirred. Spot feeding or not I'd love to see a separate thread created for.

    Fed Rod's food and a bunch of LPS died

    I mostly fed Reef Jerky + freeze dried mysis in my frag tank. I mostly feed TDO in my display. Sometimes seaweed. Historically I've had weird issues with LPS, particularly some torches. Things have been stable, but I accidentally had N&P almost bottom out in my frag tank due to adding lights...

    DIY RO Filter - Flow restrictor sizing & pure to waste ratio

    RE getting numbers higher, my understanding is booster pump is for sure a key part of that, as can things like water temp help. Exact targets I think the membranes say. However at some point the more you push through, the more you have things pass through, which then get caught by your DI...

    external liquid level sensors

    Related to @ReyDeFarts point, what are you expecting to connect this sensor to? For my use-case, I have a bunch of ESP32s that these can be used with, and there's some stock ESPHome recipes one can use in combination with Home Assistant.

    external liquid level sensors

    I've used both. I have not found them to be easy to get working. Particularly they aren't going to measure minor fluctuations, and getting them tuned to the specific container I found to be a PITA. I was hoping to use them as a backup float sensor, but eventually gave up. They certainly do...
