    Alternative power back-up solutions (not Ecoflow brand)

    I am not an electrician, but the point was only to state that the three of them seem more or less comparable. It looks like the key benefit with the Ecoflow is its expandability.

    All of the power back ups seem to be at their lowest price point - Ecoflow/Jackery/Bluetti not trying to duplicate my other post but since it is a very important but no fun reef equipment item, I thought it deserves to be mentioned here. Post in thread 'Alternative power back-up solutions (not...

    Alternative power back-up solutions (not Ecoflow brand)

    I decided to buy this one now. I will use the Ecoflow when it comes back, hopefully fixed, for the frag tank, but will not rely on it for my main tank anymore. https://camelcamelcamel.com/product/B0DCJV9LTB?context=search

    For those interested in buying G2 Red Sea tanks

    I still have the Red Sea frag tank / 28 gallon. I have been looking at the 50-gallon EXT from Innovative Marine, but it looks like their smaller models do not have Eurobrace.

    For those interested in buying G2 Red Sea tanks

    The G2 also failing is a given, in my opinion, from what I have been hearing in the German speaking forums. Curious though when we start hearing about the new G3s having the same issue. Gieseman also sells aquariums (Germany only) and they recently advertised that none of their tanks ever...

    This seemed like a good deal - just ordered a spare one: https://store.coralvue.com/hydros-triple-optical-ato-kit-open-box

    Cilyjr's 470 gallon display

    Kenny/High Tide/ @under_water_ninja can ship them to you. 100% in camp (professional) QT and most of my fish are from him. Given your setup, I would not take any chances.

    What we all can agree though, is that pricing these corals by polyp seems to not a good deal, haha :).

    Alex’s IM 150 EXT

    I am getting ready to pick up a mated pair of Synchiropus picturatus / spotted mandarins from Kenny this Sunday. This was planned for two months, but it is not easy to get them through quarantine. I did and do not want to add any more fish to the tank, but I could not find a better way to...

    Issues with keeping livestock in a temporary holding tank

    From Chris’ journal, it looks to me that the holding bin practice in general is a very risky endeavor. I wonder if the holding bin itself needs to be cycled first if used for more than a few days. Also, using a skimmer, UV, and carbon all together might help keeping short term issues at bay...

    Bulk quantity Pellets ?

    I have only a six-line wrasse in my frag tank, and she gets the smallest TDO pellets as her food (through an autofeeder). Always hungry, but at one point, she stopped eating the pellets. I replaced them, and she continued eating them as before. Now I also only keep very small amounts in the...

    Cilyjr's 470 gallon display

    Fascinating to see the amount of effort that you had to put into all of this, and how well planned everything was. Also, very impressed by your DIY skills. Curious to read in your next update what happened to the fish when transferring them over. It seems like keeping animals in a temporary...

    Thanks for sharing. A really great deal is the blotched anthias. Yet, I would always pay more for fish and buy them from Kenny. And, well, the more questionable offer is the pricing for the holy grail :).

    Alternative power back-up solutions (not Ecoflow brand)

    Looks like the EcoFlow is the slowest switcher of the three, but this is also not the newest model. All of them can do the UPS/pass through mode.

    My hallway did not have any outlet when I got my tank, and the one it has now was also installed by a professional electrician :) - he might actually be reading this post :). Seriously though, no problem if you are poking holes into my setup - I absolutely do not believe how I have done this...

    Alternative power back-up solutions (not Ecoflow brand)

    Also found this, which seems very good too, and the company seems to be from California.

    Mindnote - for mindmapping primarily, no so much flow charting, but it worked for this too.

    Alex’s IM 150 EXT

    Yes, these wifi plugs are cheap quality. The reasons why I did not plug the heaters into the XP8 are twofold: - The XP8 is connected to the power back up, and I do not want to drain the battery during a power outage. - Also, if the heater is going through the power back up, the DELTA keeps...
