I've been reading a lot of discussion about MH vs LED power saving and additional power saving from heat or lack there of. I'm curious to what temp do you all keep your fish room and temp for the tank itself? All my tanks are plumbed together and I have about 450gal of total water volume. Now that it's colder, I set my house heater temp at 69F at night and my tank heaters haven't kicked in yet. I set my tank heaters to turn on if tank temp drops below 76F. My tanks are glass with all open top and sump is acrylic. I can't image needing to turn on the tank heater ever in the summer time. Maybe my return pumps are heating up my tanks. When I use to set my tank temperature to steady 79F, my tank heaters will turn on a lot. Then if we have a warmer day, my cooling fans will kick in at 79.5F. I found it a waste of energy heating up my tanks at night and just to cool it during the day. Whenever I get some corals and fishes online, sometimes they came in at 68F and as cold as 65F before. They all seems to make it ok with short term colder temp. After visiting Hawaii and I noticed how there's could be big temp difference from wave to wave when snorkeling, I decided to let my tank temp swing from 76F to 79.5F. Now my tank heaters hardly need to turn on. Anyone have long term experience of running tanks at cooler temp during the winter months?

I was holding off on updating the firmware cause I wanted to wait for the Seattle guy to redesign the web interface. Unfortunately, it's taking longer than I expected. I might need to revisit the arrangement with him. I'll make the changes in next couple days. I took these pictures in Morning mode in Canon's RAW mode. Then I use my previous custom white balance settings when shoot LPS tank. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

Wow, very nice and so pack with colorful corals! Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

Just sharing some of my favorites. Advancement in reef lighting has came a long ways with the abilities to fine tune both spectrum and intensity. I highly doubt I can achieve this kind of coloration without controlling how much 470nm vs 450nm vs 435nm, 420nm, and 400nm. I found the yellow in the rainbow trachy peaks at 470nm but turn more green with 450nm and below. Some yellow/gold hammers are pretty consistent from 470-400nm but some different fluorescent color with 470nm vs 450nm. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

Yes, I just put a silicon air tubing to my skimmer air intake. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

Looking great!

Just run some ozone into your skimmer air intake for water clarity. Simple and no bulb changes. I your goal is to clear the water and not raise the redox to certain level, just run ozone for like 5-10min every 4hrs or so. I can't remember who was asking me about which ozone generator I use... I got my from ebay, but same as this one on amazon. You can set to run one time, every hour, or every 4 hours from 2-30min. It's a pretty strong ozone generator so run it in every 4 hours modes. https://www.amazon.com/A2Z-Ozone-Aqua-6-Multi-Purpose-Generator/dp/B00K70QDJA

I'm also interested in getting some, maybe 50+. Also, anyone know where to get those giant trochus? I got 4 when they were 1.5" from CnC and now they're about size of a baseball. I would love to get more of those.

My RBTA ate a couple my $$$ fire shrimps. After that, I usually keep a very minimal moon light on all the time. That seems to help shrimp from getting eaten by the nems. I don't know if that trick will work on fishes or not. I haven't lost any fish to my RBTA.

Finally, freight have arrived. Good thing I drop tested the box design. One pallet fell over. Fortunately, inner boxes and products are undamaged. Now I have plenty of stocks. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

This should be pretty easy to 3D print. If you can measure the length and diameter, then I can came up with something. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

iOS forces chrome to use their html API so iOS chrome is not the same as Android or window's chrome. From my ReeFi html development, I've learned that iOS web API do not fully support html5. I don't know if this issue is related to html5 support or not. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

I completely understand and agree with Brian... So apparently China wouldn't pay for the additional 25% tariffs when I passed my US custom's bill to them contrary to the mastermind that came up with this. Results is I have to absorb most of the additional tariffs and pass some to my customers. Starting a start-up is already hard enough, this is a slap in the face for all the hard work I put into development and production.

Didn't help me... To be fair, I probably only used it a couple times. Haha Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

When my wife gave birth couple years ago, she wanted traditional Taiwanese "recovering" meals. They ship frozen food in there thermal insulation bags. Even with some FedEx delayed for a day, food stayed frozen. They are clean. Free if you can use them. I also have lots of gel ice packs of different sizes, free as well.

Anyone have use for these steel rings and aluminum PCB? Free, must take before Thursday. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

My wife figured out my scheme when I started to put ReeFi Duo Extremes on all my tanks... "...so that's why you wanted to start making reef LEDs." She said I need to stop "reinvesting" in corals from the ReeFi sells. I told her that her shares will be the corals when I frag them. [emoji1787] Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

It may cause problems if it get any bigger. Yes, I put a ReeFi Duo Extreme running default LPS profile on this tank. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

I got that bubble and left most brain from local reefer couple year ago. I want to say she was@TaylorW but I can't find our past messages. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk

Here's a video of the corals:
