Trying to sell my wife’s Cavapoo puppies. (I got the reef tank she’s got the puppies) 🐶 born on 2/26/24 and they will be ready to move to a new family on April 22nd. The fully grown size is between 11lb and 16lb and non shedding. If you or your friends(kids, spouse, etc) would like to have more information let me know and I’ll be able to set FaceTime or even meet in person to choose your puppy and you can also see my tank.   $2500 and some free high end SPS frags.  

If you need to clean equipment do so at least a week before you’re going in vacation.  Like the post above, things need to be stable. Don’t clean your skimmer the night before you have to leave. Don’t touch the return pump the day you’re leaving. Etc. What I do the day before vacation is simply check to make sure dosing lines aren’t clogged and I refill the dosing containers and the rest is in the apps I’m using. (There is an app for everything).  I also have a spare return pump on standby just in case.  A couple people you trust is a must in case things don’t show right on your apex and camera.   
 

At the end of the day if you don’t tweak anything for weeks in a row while you’re home you shouldn’t have issues. 

Got 60” rail and sides. Pm me if interested 

Bump! 

Still looking for one PM1 

let me know what you have 

Looking for an Apex PM1 module if anyone has one as I need an extra PH probe. if you have an extra PH probe that's even better. 

I can trade with am FMM module or SPS frags or 💵. 

Thanks 

5 L  almost full 

Not using and I need to clear the shelves. 
it has the 1/4 quick connect. 
$145 OBO 

If it’s reef crystals I’ll take it

Best time to purchase a fish tank?

 Just saying. 🤪

Got something for you. Your inbox is full.

I'm 1.5wks into it.  I've cleaned it once, and not because it was full. 

But wife was out of the house … I get it. Haha

I was cleaning my skimmer about twice a week... But recently upgraded to a larger model.  (see my holiday posts)  And in my family, it's not about the unexpected guest - it's about my wife not enjoying the smell at all.  So I try to clean when she may be out for an hour.  You can guess how successful I am at that attempt...

How often do you clean it now? 

I’m personally using the one posted above from Amazon.it is normally closed, so it needs power for water to go through it. It does have a metal screen on it so make sure you push that out before use. I have one that stops the water coming into the RODI and one after. If any solenoid fails the float valve would prevent flooding. I have some 12v power adapters they are connected to and they are all controlled by the apex with an eb8 and the RODI has auto flush on it. Another thing I did with mine is set some sensors to trigger when empty and full. 

Do manual test and see if trident’s number are off.  I do Kalk reactor and doser. My guess is that trident is off.

Skimmate Aroma, Argh.  I get grief when I clean the skimmer cup inside the house.  (there is no other place to do it)

How often after do you clean the skimmer and you have an unexpected guest? But no one is coming right after a fresh cup of coffee is made.

Hard to tell the difference between coffee and skimmate sometimes 

I never got it wrong so far. Aroma is a bit different!

Skimmate? Or actual coffee?

I don’t know if I would be allowed keep the tank anymore if skimmate would go into that cup. Lol 😂

I would dose phytoplankton and copopods to help fight the cyano. trying to kill it with the chemiclean could invite Dinos. 

Nitrates: 54.9 And Phosphates: 0.59 is very high for sps. I had my nitrates at 50 and phosphate at .25 without issues but didn’t stay long that high, and I took them down carefully without any side effects.  
 

I am keeping my nitrates between 10-20 and po4 is between 0.05 -0.1.  

All sold!

Myagi tort still available

everything else pending.

This man grows SPS like crazy.  I picked up one of his frag packs earlier, and they're all going strong.

Thanks David, I'm glad you're happy with the corals you got from me.

I'll do another frag pack soon. I need room for the frags though. 🤔
