I have returned! We’ve been busy with RAP Orlando, and our trip in general. Now I’m back in full force ready to hang out with all of your and the rest of the R2R community!
Good morning Bailey!

Good morning, all.

Caught some of the discussion about heaters, electricity failure and pump failure yesterday. Seems like most of it got sorted out.

Wishing all a nice Monday.

May the 4th be strong with you!
Good morning Chris

I posted an earlier photo of my display tank. Mentioned it looks better now. Here is now. Just need to get rid of as many of the vermatid pests as possible. And add a few bumblebee snails. Maybe a couple in the sump also.
I love it! Gorgeous fish!

For anyone who is interested:

I saw all the talk about heaters, power failures and pump failures.

Here is a product I have used on my 300 gallon RO tank. It could be a good and semi-inexpensive solution for determining a pump failure. The company also makes other products that could be used for the hobby.

It says if it fails two consecutive check-ins it will alert you to investigate.
