albertareef Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Ouch - sorry man. Let me guess... only tank not on an apex. That would be my luck for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny Tavan Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 18yo = 0 apex = 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxmonkeyboy Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 not on the 20 gallon QT tank. I mean.... it is a 20 gallon QT tank. I doubt the apex could have triggered an alarm anyways, I suppose if I was monitoring the voltage of the jebao wavemaker it could have notified me. The QT is on the other side of the room for, well, for QT reasons. It could have been worse, it could have been a total loss, there is about 20 different corals in there all together. The sticks are not happy, but they are not dead either. At any rate... I grabbed all of them, went over them with a hand lens and put them in the main frag tank. Man it is getting crowded in there!!!

The QT is on the other side of the room for, well, for QT reasons. You’re over-thinking this. The alert could have been for temperature, not voltage. All you need is a long AquaBus cable, a PM2 module, and a temp probe. Probably costs less than most of your frags. Although I do have a small powerhead in my sump to disperse 2-part that occasionally seizes up, so I monitor the watts and get alerted if it goes above 5w. Normal operation is about 3w: If Output EB_7_SMP_FLO Watts > 5 Then ON 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrabbyCrabs Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Sucks, another reason I'm glad never to have had kids. I have a Cali tort that's been about the only thing besides leathers that grows if you need a frag. Of course I have no clue how to frag so you'd have to do it.
