Did it eat the worm? Or was this Aliens all over again?

I think I figured it out. Looks like I have the old version of the Avast set up. I went to the Avast site, and saw the Plank 3.6 Mixing Pump Upgrade. This does not look llike what is at the end of my pump. Mine has the lite colored adjustment nob (I'm color blind, looks like a grey/tan to me)...

Wow, that is crazy.

Hahahah, I'll take the Starki if that helps...

Would it make sense to turn the feeder on, let the food drop and soak for 10-20 minutes, and then have the pump turn on to avoid food that is not fully hydrated? From you description I can't tell which version I have, but it sound like it might be the updated version. The cord for the pump goes...

Hello, Well, after two year of it sitting in the box I finally got around to setting up my Avast auto feeder. While doing some test runs I noticed some of the food floats and won’t get sucked out into the tank. How do you guys sets up your on and off times for the pump to get deal with this? Do...

I will readily admit I am not very tech savvy. When it comes to the Apex if I need to replace a probe do I just unplug the old one and place the new one? I don't have to remove it from the app first and the replace it or anything like that? I just don't want to screw up the device or complicate...

Alright, got a quick video today. Not the greatest since they think it is feeding time. If I stand to far away from the tank you can see them moving around but the video is not as good. The problem is the regal, butterfly, wrasse, and clowns all think it is feeding time too. Can't wait till I...

Damn, this is tempting. Have always wanted one, but I worry about them nuking at tank. I have read mixed reviews on the likelihood of this happening.

Just another quick update. My son was looking at pics of the Bangai's and realized it has been 11 months since we saw the male brooding them babies in his mouth. That pic was from August of last year. So, it's almost time for a 1-year birthday party. We continue to have 12 of them and they are...

Just a quick update... I turned off my dosing pump. Had been dosing 40ml/day of two part calcium. I did a 30g water change. The display is 180g total volume. After the water change the calcium dropped to 470. It took about 3 days for the calcium to drop to 370. I recalibrated the dosing pumps...

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. Alk remains the same. pH remains stable. I may take you up on that offer Alexander. I did a water change and brought it back to 480. Stopped dosing for now, will restart dosing as it drops. I wonder if the Mg had something to do with it. Thank you, Gerry

Hello, I am trying to trouble shoot a sudden spike in my Ca. I use a neptune trident along with red sea test kit to compare. While I was out of town I got an alert from the trident my Ca had reached 530, had been hovering around 430. 1. I had just changed the B and C reagents before I left town...

Going to try and attend, but working tonight. Bummer

And you get a Mag 7, and you get a Mag 7, and you get a Mag 7...

Welcome!!! You will find this is the best investment you will ever make in this hobby. Gerry

Yea I do. And maybe that’s what it is. The display does not have any.

This is an awesome work around. But it might look weird if I am buying ladies stockings. Hahahahaha.

I hope not. Haven't seen them in the tank or the sump. Just in the overflow, black clumps of crumbly stuff.

Well, Over the last two weeks I have been doing a deep clean and overhaul of the tank: cleaning out pumps, skimmer, wavemakers, detritus from the sump. Today I decided to clean out the drains and returns along with adding some random flow generators to the outlets. I did not realize how loud my...
