did you try this: http://www.theaquariumsolution.com/ai-vegahydra-and-hydra-52-bootloader-factory-reset?

Hydra last you a long time ( 2/3 years for me and still going strong ).

still have the tiger float side, Frank?  I saw the dry side but not seeing the float wet side.  If so, I would take it

Anyone has tried bubble blaster pump on ASM G4xx skimmer?  I have ASM G4xx on sedra15000 but I suspect the combo is not working very well on sps tank to deal with much algea.  Thinking about mod ASM G4xx with blaster 5000s or 10000s and wonder if anyone has done this to give some tips before spend big bucks on these pumps

Electric wire on timer 18in above pond's perimeter is only way to make them stay away for good.   This is how they never bother to get near my pond.

will this work for your tank? nice and shine and pest free ( cured under intense natural UV )

I,was,thinking apex could control it without a temp controller or step heater probe, it just uses the apex heater probe

Just set your heater probe to your tank temp (79 or 80?? ), then programming apex based of apex's heater proble to have it ON and OFF and safeguard it from there.

I trade you beautiful blue tip green slimmer for your Orange Envy to feed your Queen.  My slimmer is a super fast grow so daily feeding might not be a problem.  Deal?

I'll let you know.... so far so good, except the 1200.00 dinner it had, but I think the flesh will grow back on that coral, its only half gone
LOL

Fish gotta eat

I am seriously contemplating on switching to a freshwater planted tank. After my big tank crash last month and now dino's and cyano coming back with a vengeance I just don't know if I want to continue with saltwater. I really like the look of a planted fresh water tank. I don't know what to do......

I give you a free starter pack when your tank ready for dummy frags ( Vivid rainbow, red planet, green slime with bluetip, red dragon, micro lados).  

What does the oxygen do? Oxygen will not help algae growth. The flow you get from an air stone is important, however.

Stay tune, will give some theory answer in 2 weeks :-)

I am not sure why you are using this design. A waterfall type scrubber is much easier to build and the specifications for the screen size, the amount of flow and light have all been pretty well defined. No need to re-invent the scrubber.

 

Here is my screen:

The showering style required some plumbing and I think I have done enough plumbing to stay away from it as much as I could.

This design a lot quicker and easier and could be a lot more affective with rich oxygen from air stones.  Will see how it go next week

Lots of light!

Dam, looking like a subwoofer box :-)

If it's just the one in the pic, I don't think you have enough light.

Here are some submersible LED strips that can be used for this. They are $ but might help if you find your setup underpowered.

I run just 1, and i picked red color.  Algae does not need much light, I think and I run 2 air stone to generate tone of oxygen.
