And here is an easy Ecotech battery replacement. This has an auto switch and uses a LiFePO4 battery instead of lead acid, so it lasts much longer. The one linked below is refurbished with a 2 year warranty. Way cheaper than Ecotech. https://www.ebay.com/itm/144819918766?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=fcvtjvdnswq&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=VvCQ6tlPRXG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Here's the DC cable that fits into cigarette lighter outlet.

I added the switches. They make it easier when doing water changes etc ... now that the main power switch is backed up.

It's all working great so far.

Hi All, I'm finally posting my setup to this thread. This is not as economical as Dave's setup. I'm using the Reefboxx automatic switch ($100) along with a LiFePO4 battery ($60 for 20ah or $130 for 50ah) a fancy smart (trickle) charger ($85) and a 12V to 24V voltage booster + cables ($30). My return pump is 24V and most of the economical batteries are 12V. You can use a booster to get 24V or you can set up two identical 12V batteries in series to get 24V. I wanted a single battery in the space. This system will run my return pump if the power goes out while I am away. The automatic switch detects the outage and keeps everything running on battery, and the trickle charger keeps the battery charged and maintained. This charger has a cool bluetooth function that allows me to check the status via an app on my phone. I do need to get a bigger battery as the 20ah battery isn't big enough. The 20ah battery should run my 65W pump (at full power) for 7.4 hours while a 50ah battery should run it for 18.5 hrs, and a 100ah battery should run it for 37 hrs. Of course, if I was home, I would turn the pump speed down in order to get more run time.

What is your mix recipe? Maybe diluting it a little bit is the answer. Thanks!
-
I'm going to try to track Lou down and ask him about this. I wonder if it was diluted if it would work better in a doser.

I like their salt. But I don't like All for Reef. It is hard to keep it in solution. It is always clogging dosing lines for me. I would be curious if others had a different experience.

Hi All: See here for a brief write up that I did on my experiment with ammonia dosing. https://www.instagram.com/p/C3OIPgPPM3b/?img_index=1 Cheers, Andy

Lol, the year is wrong on that page. Here is the information they shared to FB: JOIN US next on February 17th from 10AM-5PM at the PNW Aquarium Swap Meet in Beaverton, OR!

https://pnwaquariumswap.com/ I had never heard of this until I saw it on Facebook. @PNWCustom is going it looks like. Have you gone before Harley? I don't believe they ever reached out to us.

See here: Goni BJD write-up

It is intended to be a low dose, since Arcobacter is very sensitive to Cipro.
-
I'm not sure which works better. I was only able to stop the issue in my system when I did the dips in addition to the in tank treatment. One time I treated the tank with cipro and one other time I treated the tank with Oxolinic Acid. The cipro dosing regimen I used was three total doses with a day in between each one. The Oxolinic Acid dosing regimen was the same. If I ever did it again, I would probably use 4 doses over a period of 8 days.
-
The higher dose could eventually cause dinoflagellates, but it will not 'cause BJD.' I have not dealt with this disease in torches, but in Goniopora. In Goniopora I was only able to stop it in the tank if I combined in-tank doses with 4-6 hour baths in concentrated cipro or Oxolinic Acid. I repeated the baths for the entire time that I was treating the tank. (High concentration for dip/bath was 1/2 of 500 mg cipro pill per gallon of tank water, and for Oxolinic Acid 2 g of OA per gallon of tank water.) Good luck!

We're coming out of the woodwork now that our team is finally good, after all those years of record losers. I'm out and proud, baby!

Haha...the Lions have been surprising people all season.
-
Go Lions! I grew up in Michigan watching them lose every Thanksgiving game, even when they had Barry Sanders. Finally, they have good players AND good coaching.

I love the Micromussa lordhowensis on the sandbed and the red macro!

@Electrokate is now running this tank at the FLS Transition at MESD school. The program is a post high school transition program for functional living skills level students run by Multnomah Education Service District and called Ainsworth Transitions. Welcome! Below are a few pictures of her 12 gallon setup:
