That's cool! Takes a utility person to install, but no issues with panel space. Interesting!

Interlock is cheap and easy if you have room in the panel. If not, it will be a bit spendier to move stuff or add a subpanel. An interlock is a tiny bit more work when the power goes out, but not a big deal. Harbor freight generators are powerful for the $$ and highly rated. You don't need the inverter type necessarily just AVR to keep your voltage in check. Your research may vary though. To be ready, you can put a magnetic flashlight on your breaker panel and a print out the list of steps like (customize for your setup): - Kill the main breaker - Turn off all breakers - Engage the interlock - Turn on fuel line on generator - Turn on generator choke - Start pulling (or electric start...) - Once generator starts and runs for a couple minutes - Engage interlock - Selectively turn on circuits. For us, all of our 110v circuits but nothing like the heat pump or water heater. Enjoy, your neighbors will be stopping by because the lights will be on! You will feel like a hero. We usually get a call 'Is your power back on?' The Griswold in me loves it... When the power comes back on reverse the steps. (check your neighbors lights out the window, its hard to tell) Also, to avoid the ethanol problems do this simple trick. Turn off your fuel line switch while the generator is still running. Don't manually stop it, let it run out of gas on its own in a couple of minutes. This drains the fuel system dry and avoids allot of problems. Also, always treat the fuel you put in. Never let untreated fuel get in. I use cheap old regular gas with these steps. Generator has lasted through many power outages about 8 years with no carb problems at all, always starts right up. Sharing for what its worth, ymmv.

Reef tank - 1 million watts. 😂 Only growers running metal halides use more juice than us!

Been there done that getting RBTAs off of live rock purchases many years ago! Makin rubble!

Checking it out NateDawg, thanks. He does not have the flashback feature though (TUF Plus, not Pro). Appreciate it.

Hahah, well... there are a bunch of tech people here too 😂

Any pnwmas people have an older AMD ryzen CPU they could loan me or trade for coral? My son picked up a 5800x and ASUS mobo. The mobo needs a bios update to support his CPU (2nd or 3rd gen works). Apparently if you can find an older one, you can flash bios then replace the CPU. Thanks!!

No upgrades for me, the upgrades look nice though. Hopefully they do an upgrade kit!

ReefBotV2 is out, congrats to those who waited https://www.reefkinetics.com/product/reefbot/ Upgraded features Needle Reach – The needle can now reach most of the reagents in the vials allowing you to perform more tests before refilling. Design upgrade – Minor changes were done on the design of the ReefBot V2 to give it a smoother look than the ReefBot V1. Reset Button – A reset button was added to the ReefBot V2 which was not found in it’s younger version. Device communication – 0/10V communication protocol for 3rd party devices. New Actuator – The ReefBot V2’s uses an upgraded mechanical design that allows it to test your tank’s parameters and return the results even faster than the original ReefBot! We replaced the old actuator with a new one that is more sturdy and reliable. More precision – The ReefBot V2 is more precise in testing in which it has higher resolution titration tests with a precision of 0.001 milliliter (1μl ). Quieter – The ReefBot V2 is ever more silent as we are trying to keep your testing as smooth as possible.

Thanks, that makes sense.

This is what made me think it, I think it is wrong: Alk resolution is 1 mg/L Went here: https://www.hamzasreef.com/Contents/Calculators/AlkConversion.php Accidentally converted 1 meq/L to DKH, came out to 2.8 dkh. arameter Range Resolution Accuracy (at 25 °C) Method Wavelength Reagent Code Absorbance 0.000 to 4.000 Abs 0.001 Abs +/-0.003Abs @ 1.000 Abs Alkalinity 0 to 500 mg/L (as CaCO3 ) 1 mg/L ±5 mg/L ±5% of reading Colorimetric Method 610 nm HI775-26 Alkalinity, Marine 0 to 300 mg/L (as CaCO3 ) 1 mg/L ±5 mg/L ±5% of reading Colorimetric Method 610 nm HI755-26

Fascinating! The claimed resolution of alk though is 2.8 DKH, did I read that right? So maybe not quite accurate enough for us yet...

That's great news! Inverter running off of car in driveway can make allot of power. It wastes gas and you have to be sure your car is outside, but harbor freight and walmart carry inverters. Generator is if course the best. Reef buddies are awesome too but most of the time our tanks are too full.

Lets go, surely someone wants those free frags!

There, that high school french just paid off!

sept, huit, neuf, dix

trois, quatre, cinq, six

One, two

One free ticket to Paradise Coral!

That's too bad! Hopefully it is extreme demand. Totally makes sense for you to have one Rudy. If it prevents one issue with regular testing, well, that's allot of $$ saved as you run a pretty big system or 2

A sibling

I sure wish I could remember! Thinking the mama came from our last fragfest? Miss those, cannot wait until they are back. The babies for some reason get a ton more color. Not sure why...

I bought a batch, thanks!

Sharing because chalices are awesome I see allot of colors and its cool how they streak throughout the piece. Under Ocean Revive lights. I have modded the white channel so I can do more par with the right blue mix, that's about it.

Very interesting... Could be
