I’ve always wondered this also. I imagine you could get more energy efficiency out of it also

Pulled the trigger on a previous model apex el. https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/apexel-controller-system-neptune-systems.html For $475 includes an energy bar. Not sure why someone would buy an a3 jr over this. Also got a trident. Hooo boyo!!!

Thanks! Link: Post in thread 'GHL or Apex' https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/ghl-or-apex.31621/post-455696

Yeesh the reviews for these things are terrible. What’s the bar consensus on apex? My impression was that the ghl stuff isn’t better

So Cupertino

The new jr version seems interesting at $300. No energy bar so not controlling but could buy that later. I’m thinking about grabbing a jr and a trident………. Hmm

Where?

I’ve been testing more consistently at same time day after day and also repeatedly thruout a day and seeing swings of close to 1dkh thru the day. Seems like a lot!!!! My doser doses the same 15ml every hour thru the day. Does anyone dose more heavily thru the daytime to even out the alk?

I also usually make trek to ac. Whenever I’m in South Bay to Neptune I checked out @high_tide_aquatics which is brand new in oaktown and they have a nice frag selection and are qting fish (scaling up the qt operation since they’re stockout!) so have high hopes for them! Check ‘em!

Welcome! North bay ftw, I’m in Novato

I’d recommend an external ac pump like an iwaki. I’ve had some in use on and off for almost 15 years. Not quiet by modern standards though !

Down!

You could do some of the smaller tangs on your 4’ tank. I’ve got a 5’ 125 up in pif for free if you want to have an upgrade path

Also tangs are the best and for me much of what makes the hobby tick

I also just do nori when I feel like it, sometimes for new additions, but keep high algae (eg hikari) pellets mixed in with regular pellets in an autofeeder

Wow holy cannoli! You’re in good shape. With all that strength now you need to get a bigger tank!

What are we looking at? What are cross sectional dimensions of those additional members? How attached to the sills? (I think those are sills atop foundation?)

Here’s the post referenced: https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/quarantine-process-at-high-tide-aquatics.32122/

So how many days at 2.5ppm copper? And no new fishes coming into system during that time? That would mean you have multiple systems going? Pix would be fun too, really give yourself credit for what you’re doing (which sounds fantastic!)

Can I get one of the working ones :) lol man
