Here is a reminder to test once in a while. Last night i tested and alk was a little low. So I let it go but tested again today, and it was a little lower. So something is off, consumption hasn’t gone up that much, start looking around and testing things and see my alk on the doser isn’t working but can’t see why. Alk in the container, the the “drive shaft” is spinning. I start looking at the connections and everything seems normal start messing with it and this connector just falls apart, apparently it was cracked but holding together enough so it didn’t just fall off but enough for a syphon break. Weird, no idea how that happened, and it had to be working up to a few nights ago, and I never touch them unless there is a problem. Then of course it took me forever to find some spare parts. What a pain in the butt for something so small

It pays to test. I test and could tell you pretty much what the number will be before..buuuut..if there's ever a problem it's caught quickly! Alk being the one I test daily most of the time.

Glad you caught it

A few new pics of the new corals as well as the tanks together this evening. Nice PE on the new Acros and new Gonis looking pretty happy, starting to open up. The other Acros are looking pretty good as well.

Wait, you stick your hand in the water and can feel how your parameters are doing????

Well I just take a quick shot glass worth and swish it like a fine wine. My taste buds have been trained to check the parameters :cool:

Its getting full quick
That it is. if nothing else, I certainly know how to fill a tank. July sale will probably be last potentially substantive one for me for a while. I’ve got almost 400 in cred to to use so I want to probably get one or two “high impact” pieces or a few smaller ones.

Same here. No sticks in July sale for me. Looking for "the one" torch for my 180.

Whats the budget? I highly recommend a HG or HG variant. Beautiful corals. This is the one I have from SBB. I counted them today. 10 of my torches are SBB. Out of I believe 15.

I’m looking for a Tiger or Goldilocks next sale but don’t know which one yet.
Depends on how big you want your torch. Goldilocks is a pretty good sized one, whilst tigers stay on the smaller end.

Bout to hop on a flight to Orlando! Don't know how you guys who fly all the time for work do it... Flying stressed me out so much

No amount of money in the world could cause me to regularly be in planes for a living lol. Only genuine fear I have

I understand that. Got the same problem. Doesn't help both my parents where Airforce techs back in the 80's and enjoyed telling me everything that could be broken on the plane growing up. Their biggest joke was no planes in 100% working order.
Remember the odds. You’re thousands of times more likely to die driving to the grocery store than in an aircraft. It’s just not as spectacular.

I will have to agree though, if your not in the front seat driving, it sucks.
