That certainly helps identify these Brad. Otherwise it is basically reading every thread and looking for the “please close” post - which is mostly what happens.

Exactly my point -Hence me reporting my sale thread after I just sold my Reefbrites 💥

Thanks to whoever closed it

If you move your mouse to the upper right corner of any post, it will reveal "Report post":

how do you do these things- I'm so challenged

I cant even add text to picture LOL

Sold

Please close 🤣

More inquirers on R2R with one person asking for all 4. I sure would rather these go to a local “someone” than deal with shipping if that’s possible 

hint hint

Classifieds specifically

FWIW (and I may be mistaken but I don’t believe so 😂)

If you have a thread you want closed, the process is reporting the thread and in the “report” ask for the thread to be closed.

If I was a mod that’s how I’d like it done and us a collective group hoping the mods read every single post to every single thread looking for the request to close
 

I know mods have nothing better to do than peruse “your post/threads” 

That's my unsolicited tip of the month

Used for about 14 months 16 on the outside

4 available @ 170.00 each 

no salt damage great shape picture to follow but basically here is what they are;

No, that would be Brad that gives out majanos with his frags.  🤣

AEFW for the win 

Majanos..... such a noob pests- step up your game Gilly

Now your cooking!

Glad it was live rock only.

 

Had the return not shut off it would have cooked a few thousand in shrooms

Pretty fortunate-

gee it’s my lucky day LOL

I feel this. I had a heater crack on me. It shorted out and blew the emergency 10a fuse I had on my inkbird. Didn't trip the gfci nor any power strips. I was of course out of town so came home to a tank at 62 degrees. I had thought running 2 heaters (both connected to the inkbird) I was good. Lots of dead SPS said otherwise. 

Sorry to hear that- all the more reason I switched to the Titanium heaters with controllers, I let the Alex handle the heavy lifting

Yesterday I had my service panel upgraded to a 200 amp service and while the work was performed I ran a generator to control both my display and QT

When I was plugging the QT pump back in the pump came loose from the feed line and I quickly grabbed it which is when I more than likely knocked the temp probe out of the holder.

 Fortunately for me I plugged the return pump into the wrong socket so the return pump actually shut off at 11pm last night and the water wasn’t being returned from the sump.

I dodged a bullet because all I cooked was the live rock and I’ve got more than enough that has been sitting in the display sump for 7 months

Its been one of those days- oh well I wanted to restart that system too

SMH

I also did the stump remover but switch to food grade Potassium Nitrate for NO3 and food grade Tri Sodium Phosphate for PO4

I dose both daily and have for some time-both purchased from amazon

Oh no!  

It’s all good no death except all the live rock got cooked- this was my QT tank

looks like only half my post “posted” I’ll expound later

Guess you dont use redundant temp controllers?  Apex w/temp probe as primary, heater controller as secondary - set ~5 degrees higher than Apex setpoint.   Thats the most cooked I can get.

 

I don’t- I’ve had more temp controllers go bad than human errors, I don’t own a heater that has a controller 

Your concept is sound until you’re heater controller goes south- rare but has happened more times than I’d care to trust

gotta go, construction flagger just flipped the sign

Well my color is good and it is hairy as heck but no encrusting. Or growth, really. I'm not worried, though I'd feel better if there was growth down to the plug.

I do feel a little sorry for all the wittle bitty frags in Brad's tank. They're so cute, though!

 

Pardon me mam but are you referring to the micro nano colonies

its a perception thing, the moon looks small from my back yard as an example  

Noticed my temp probe popped out of the sump yesterday so the heater ran all night 

pretty sure I’ve a problem “cooking” 

June 1st- My official update- The other post was a teaser but it was also used to determine we had an issue getting "coverage" we are good to go

Ill not bust on Holly this post 😉

A little better pic that shows the base starting to encrust-at least I can it LOL

Is this why no one responds to my build updates? I just assumed everyone hated it. Regardless, jury is probably still out on that one.
@reefnjunkie, this is pretty strange. Not sure exactly what to think. It appears your posts to this thread are updating. The biggest difference from the other posts are that they are new threads overall. In your case, did you post to a thread that was already created earlier? It might be that only the "create" date is being used to sort and post threads to the front page. This of course would be a problem.

FWIW I like your build thread

Time to throw in the towel on this but before I go, I would say @Gil&Fin who did an update  last night I never saw when I clicked on unread content, I had to go the thread and to find and see her post. Thats probably not so bad since her poor little frag is dying a slow death 💥

Take that Gilly

Im over it-

I don’t have much IT knowledge but there was a change made a few years ago so that when sponsors posted up auctions the entire site was not bombarded with ads and auctions at the expense of missing posts from members. The downside to changing the settings would shown mean whenever there is an auction or live sale the entire forum is filled with those posts. I don’t know if there is a better work around but we are fortunate to have a good team of IT skilled people. This was the only solution as the new format was so new perhaps there are better options. I hope that helps.

I appreciate the explanation- It doesn’t explain how the other 2 sponsors post popular the new post or “unread topics” section but I can table that concern (although it is relevant)

The Grow our thread isn’t a sponsor section so I’d hope to find new posts to that populate the new posts or unread content/front page (In unclear as to the “exact” name, it’s just what loads when I hit our icon)

@Emerald525 do you know who may have the ability to fix that, I would agree on the fact we don’t want to be spammed with content that is sponsor related, they have a section for that.

OMG this is a grow out comp, I can’t think of anything more important than keeping up to date and current on all and any posts that happen there- it’s an acro grow out to boot- all praise the mighty acro 

Oh the mercy 

Probably chasing my tail on this one-

I appreciate your posts and help John, I’m at fault for not wording my initial post better/correct, I’ve never questioned literally “where is my post”

it should have read “why isn’t my post I made under the grow out comp not populating the first page of new posts”

Does anybody know who can look into that? With it being a new post, it should hit the main page.regardless of where it’s posted.

Point in fact, the other two sponsors I mentioned are having their posts hit the front page, what makes this any different, and and really it’s not that it’s a sponsors page, the new posts from that GOC aren’t populating the front page of new posts and it should- unless there’s a reason for it 

FWIW I’m not singling out Paradise or Golden, theirs just happen to be the two I saw- If it’s happening under Cuttlefish there is a good chance this is happening under other sponsors sections

Somethings broken IMO

The post is under the CNC subforum.  I believe there was a change in the forum a while back after a previous software update that prevented vendor forums from showing up as most recent posts.  Here's a link to your post:  

 

So if the software update would have kept vendors post from showing on the front page wouldn’t that have kept Golden Basket and Paradise Corals posts from showing on the front page as new posts

Am I missing something 

I made a post to the grow out comp and I figured it would populate the main page which it doesn’t, you have to search for it or find it under the sponsors section.

Is this a tech issue or what might be the issue.

I need attention 😳

Thanks in advance for any help/answers

Still alive 😎

How about yours Gil&Fin that brown bomber still kicking?? ☠️🤪😳

quick pic before the next update- nothing vertical but thats expected, it is encrusting nicely tho 

I just wanted to be first in posting an unofficial post

sorry for the cell pic
