I finally bought a portable 2500w inverter gen. I'm looking for a "easy" way to run the wire from the gen to the fish tank+fridge. The right way to do it is via a transfer switch but it can be $$. I got a quote for $1200 + permit fees. Given that this only for power outage, which is not very...

Just noticed the crack a couple of weeks ago. Initially I thought it’s algae , but after cleaning the back glass, sure enough it’s a crack. Good news is it’s not structural, the the crack glass is separating the main display with the rear filtration chamber. I’m concern if this is a prelude...

Just setup dosing Kalk with a hydros control dosing pump. Didn’t realized the app have a max 500ml per day . I use 2 teaspoon Kalk per gallon of water. With this concentration, looks like 500ml is only adding 0.25dkh. what’s your Kalk dosing setup to add 1dkh per day? What pump did you use...

Bought a few anthias (on the way). Heard its one of the hardest fish to QT. I'm interested to try the Molly OT method (ie use Molly as the canary). I'm not interested in keeping the molly in the main display ( aggressive tank mates + very high flow). If i go this route, i want to check if...
