I have a new setup running reef pi 6.0 on a pi 3b+ The Heater Threshold field runs my macro which sends an email alert. I get the message when the probe measures higher than the value. And opposite, the chiller threshold is activating when the probe measures a low temperature. The GUI won't let...

I just installed a new setup and I was able to get the dashboard to bootup, but I'm not able to select any pins or drivers for any hardware. I assume this is related to an error I see in the service log which says: driver-subsystem: Failed load raspberry pi driver. Error: can't build hal pin 20...

I have a new in box Aquamaxx AF-1 automated fleece roller. I bought it a few months ago and decided to go in a different direction after getting intimidated by the plumbing (I am not very handy). Here are pictures from the BRS website. I have never opened the box. $180 shipped.

Hello, I was wondering what your experience with the different brands that have testers that can give you real time updates on important parameters in your reef tank. The ones I have been looking at are Neptune's systems, GHL, Reef Factory and Reef Bot. Does anyone have a suggestion on what...

I was wondering if you can use a pressure washer on filter roller fleece as you would with a filter sock once it’s dirty. I have no specific brand in mind, just wondering if I’ll have to replace the fleece rollers all the time or if I can really wash them hard as I do with my current filter socks.

I tried googling "Smallest auto fish feeder" to see what my options are and couldn't really find any threads or articles dedicated to reviewing and comparing the smallest available auto fish feeders for a small pico tank. I'd probably go with an Eheim Everyday Fish Feeder but if anyone knows any...

So I have my RODI unit connected to a water collection tank that's never seen tap water, and was wondering if I could plumb the wastewater line of my RODI unit to a pond? The TDS of the waste water is 006 to 007 ppm, the TDS of the rain water coming out of the tank about the same. The pond is a...

RODI is essential in making safe sea water for our critters and systems. Some are basic filter setups under kitchen sinks with the bucket system, others are completely automated 50 gallon storage and dispensing solutions. How far have you gone in your quest for RODI water?

My story and how I finally reached 8.3PH! Also please let me know, have you achieved 8.3PH? And how did you get there? Ok so for those interested in PH from a “layman’s reef” I’m only a barely second year reef hobbyist with a 50gal tank/sump system living in western Colorado. My tank has...

New to R2R. Been reefing for about 5 years. I Wanted to show off my upgrade from my 75g tank and 2-10g nanos to this bad boy. Transfered everything over back in Feb 2020. I did this upgrade while extending my patio 40ft lol to many projects at the same time. Everything is growing well. Started...

Yes it is a tiny 25G nano tank and If I follow my maintenance schedule I should be able to take a one week vacation with minimal involvement from neighbors because most functions are automated.

For about 2 1/2 years I have been developing an automated Dwarf seahorse aquarium. I had quite a few failures but this version seems to work well. Everyone, please look it over and give me your comments. A presentation is available on the following link...

If you are having trouble with your ReefBot, lets discuss them here. Lets find out if we are all having the same issues. I am currently experiencing the following issues with my new reefbot. 1.RoDi and waste container volumes are not calibrated correctly. 2.Result Values are not accurate...

You heard it right...I’m leaving my tank virtually unattended for 3 months. I am currently 2 weeks into the 3 month hiatus. I’ve already left the tank for a stint of 10 days in the past without issue. Since then, dosing has been dialed in along with most everything else and the feeding has been...

Newish to the forum and only about a year into my salt/reef experience, I have learned a TON from my 47 gallon column I have now with just a snowflake clown, scarlet cleaner shrimp and some inverts and a Kenya tree and zoa, but I've had enough of the "wet armpit" syndrome trying to work on it...
