Trident has been great! 

You mentioned loud Jeff @Blue Z Reef?  I need to video reefbot.  It sounds like a rock tumbler.  Incredibly loud!  Like leave the room if you are on a work call loud!

Although I have no reefbot complaints other than that, I have much greater faith in the trident.

I haven't observed the alk drift some report on the trident.  In fact, I double check Trident using the reefbot with a different test kit now and then.

Trident is like the secret to reefing for me.  Testing alk 4x a day and adjusting the calcium reactor based on those results is-the-bomb!

I fear losing mine enough where I almost bought a second just to have a spare!

We had some ticket updates, and some new errors today.  Ticket has been updated, lets hope for the best!

We have a ticket in since early this afternoon, no response yet.  Hopefully there will be updates soon!

5' 112g.

On the opposite side I'm still running an old koralia (800 or 1000gph, can't remember). 

I did just order a sow-15 to replace the 20 but I'm nervous that's gonna be too big too?! 

That seems about right, but I dunno!  I run the 20s on an 8' frag tank but they are like 5 years old plus.  On the 240 cube, I run a pair of 20s also, but also very old.  They might be better / stronger these days!

Well I ended up grabbing a jebao sow-20. That's the size jebao recommends for my size tank. The pump is silent and looks good but what heck, this thing is huge. The lowest setting seems ok but anything else seems like it'll blow the water out of the tank! And no way can I use the random flow setting (which is what I wanted to use) 

Anyways it's a very nice pump but I need a smaller one! 

What size tank do you have?

It looks just like one of the first group buys I did. I think we paid 400 dollars for a Frag that size and Beth expertly fragged it.  It has a lot of sentimental value for me too. It was a Tyree Baby’s Breath. I’m willing to think it’s the same as it has the same color and growth pattern.

I want to grow this sucker as big as a soccer ball!  Love it

Yep, that rings a bell!  Bought it a while back, it has grown into that nice moon brain shape.  Much prefer it over a flat frag it was in the beginning but we all gotta start somewhere

I really like this one, does anyone recall the name?

Just grabbed another 15-20 out of filter sock. Hit me up if anybody wants some. I’d take a softie coral or LPS or fist bump 

Awesome!  If you can fit em in a USPS box and ship priority, I will pay the bill and ship you something back!  It's not very expensive and very fast for local mail.  PM if interested.

They completed most the work in my 60+Gallon. Now there in my 10 gallon, I just removed 15 from a filter sock after 2 days. They should make quick work with the 10 gallon, they’re breeding like crazy. 

Nice!!

Got a link so I can check it out?  I need to test mine, have one of those 3-4' tall tanks DI units but have no idea how much life it has left.

Nice juicy ones!  Have they completed their work and you are rehoming?

 Nice looking favia. I knew it as the Joker favia and got it from Totally Exotic Corals when they were a sponsor. I’m a sucker for the classics thanks for sharing !

Very well could be the proper name!  Definitely a joker theme with that purple and green.  I have another one with much larger eyes but same color, feels like something different.

Proud to be a supporting member!

I am a supporting member (per the rules )

A nice classic, love the purple and green mix

Man, I would really like a handful of splits... but... running low on room.  Hydnophora and monti dominating the tank 🤣

What kind do you use/recommend? I've never used these higher end Powerheads before but I am getting sick of replacing koralias every couple of years. 

Jebaos, running most of them for years trouble free, no cleaning, no maintenance.  If they do go out I just get a new one.  APEX control mine, run a tide simulation of incoming and outgoing tides of sorts.

Unfortunately I don't have any MP power heads so my help is limited at this point to general stuff.  Hopefully our chatter will attract some of the MP40 gurus on the site.  Sorry and good luck!

Oh good!  So any corrosion in the fittings?

Is the power supply voltage right and amps sufficient?

Still going strong.

Showing some interesting trends.  Phosphate varies quite a bit for example. 

Going up and down day by day with seemingly little changes to my routine.

I've been eyeing getting one. Been comparing that to getting a reefpi setup. I used to enjoy tinkering around with circuit building and computers but not much anymore. The interface and ease/speed of setup with the hydros would be worth it to me.. even if it's likely a re-skinned raspberry pi.

I think I would lean towards this over ReefPi myself too!  Time is precious...  So many half finished projects personally!

Hydros is looking strong!

Out of all the interesting information, a 4 outlet WiFi power strip for $40 is what really hit me.  The APEX EBs are so dang expensive.

Will be interesting to see how it shapes up.
