And they can be daisy chained. Notice the double ended short wire by the head? I had it up and running in a matter of 5 minutes. Most of that time was me trying to decide who long I wanted the tubing. App being already setup was a matter of long hold a button and change name.

This month's tank delivery just showed up. Was not in the mood to calibrate the doser. I also have a rat's nest of cords I have to untangle.

I will be moving next month. Any supplies you think I should get that are must haves? or big time saves? I plan on spending a whole day moving just the tank the another day for the big furniture.

That is what I have as my top solution. I was going to get a smaller surge protector and have the two dosers on just that outlet. Pull a total of 10 watts over the course of a week. lmfao

Ordered an additional dosing pump. Same brand and model as the other so that I can monitor both with the same app. This leads me to another obstacle, electric power. I need a new form of plugging things in. My surge protector is full as is the wall outlet it plugs into. Also ordered a supply of...

I stuck my kid's GoPro into my tank(after wiping it clean) Wasn't sure what the lens would pick up colorwise. I was considering getting one just for the tank since they are on sale for $100s off. This is completely stock settings. Maybe something could be adjusted.

Things are staying good. Phosphates are hovering around .09, would like them lower but if I can get them to stay steady at the range of .07-.10 Might just call it a night. Will be doing another 30% waterchange this week. slow and steady. The photo below does not seem photorealistic. The colour...

After I finished the waterchange, I kicked the skimmer back on and watched what it did. It started "overflowing" I had spare saltwater so I just used the drain hose to let it overflow into a bucket. I probably produced 1 gallon of skimmate before it settled to normal amounts. The skimmer is...

I went ahead and placed an order for a lens kit. Ended up going with IceCap because I'm a fangirl. Love their battery backups, and VHOs back in the day. It was within $5 of the Orphek and came with an additional lens. I'll be sure to post videos and photos soon.

Final Water Change? Will this be the last water change to get the phosphates back in line where they should be? Not sure. Did a larger water change this time, took out about 3 extra gallons. Scrubbed a bit of algae off the back of the rock structure. Stirred the sang but did not syphon the sand...

Looked up the brand and got a 404. Makes me think that most of these are similar. I see some that have cutouts for the phone lens. What would the purpose of that being?

I have been using the Reefing Art gel filters, and I really liked them. I have had them for about a year now and the threads have stripped so I am no longer able to attach the Macro lens. This is a big bummer for me because I love Macro shots. Before I just go fork out more cash to buy the same...

Mine ended up being RO/DI filter gone bad. Phosphates on my topoff fresh was at .08. I was literally dosing my tank with Phosphates.

I have already crested the issue. Even running GFO my tank hit .24 before I was able to nail the culprit down. Water change yesterday put me at .08.

Starting another water change today. The first water change brought the Phosphates down to .08. Talk about a sigh of relief. I do about a 15 gallon water change which is around 25%. I also pulled all GFO out of the tank. Today I swapping back over to homemade frozen foods. I can't wait for my...
