redundancy

I have an Inkbird 306A controlling two 150w heaters. Occasionally the Inkbird will show an "Abnormal" alarm (at normal temperature-78F) and will cut power to the heaters, which can drop the temp of my tank about 2-degrees F overnight. The only way to reset the Inkbird's alarm is by cycling the...

Hi all. New Reefer over here. I am planning to purchase a Red Sea 425 xl and want to run two return pumps for redundancy. One pump will go directly to return pipe. Other pump will power a UV sterilizer and then t into the return pipe. A few questions-do I have to have the same pump times two for...

I know the general consensus is that we run dual return pumps for redundancy. Then again, the general consensus is that fish should be quarantined yet, most don't. So I'm curious, how many of you are actually running dual return pumps? Either on a single overflow or dual overflow setup. **Meant...

So I went on vacation this past week to Hawaii (which was amazing btw, if you are a reefer I recommend going at least once in your life). I was gone for a total of 9 days. Before I left, I had everything in order - I hadn't changed or added anything to my 90 gallon reef in about two weeks, which...

What’s up people. So I just wanted to do a spotlight/review of a product I just received from @Bulk Reef Supply . It’s the protein skimmer delay timer made by Reef Octopus. I feel like this thing is totally unknown by most of the reefing community and the fact is that it adds a HUGE amount of...

Hey guys, this is my first forum post! I just just purchased the XP Aqua Duetto ATO for my 90 gallon reef, waiting for it to come in the mail. I’ve spent a lot of time researching the best system and like many, was torn between this one and the Tunze osmillator. I decided to go with the XP Aqua...

I’m hoping there are some smart electronic engineering people here that might be able to tell me if I need a relay for this level sensor or can I plug it straight in the apex breakout box. If I do need a relay I’ll need help choosing one and setting it up.

I have had my current 6-foot shallow reef tank setup for about 2.5 years now... and its time for a bit of a do-over... Now i didn't really plan on upgrading or changing my tank as I love it! However, due to a hazy line in the glass, the tank builder was going to replace the tank. I'm sure you...

Alright so I need everyones' opinion here. I have a 120 gallon tank. I believe it is an Aqueon. It has two overflow boxes with the undersized holes drilled for 1 inch ABS bulkheads ;Rage. Currently I am running a single durso in each overflow box. I am building a new sump and when I install...
