Got the Hydros controllers all linked and running! Gyre is on. I'm ready for bed but my wife and daughter want to watch Monk. I'll likely be radio silent for the rest of the night.

Goodnight all!

My ATO unit stopped working it was one off Amazon and it's my fault it broke I think. I thought it had enough in the reserve to do for a 5 day hunting trip we took a while back but it didn't and the reserve got too low. I managed to get it to work again by unplugging it and plugging it back in but the warning light is flashing that alerts to when water is below the level I want it to be in the sump and the little pump isn't kicking on. So what's a decent ATO that isn't super expensive?

Mine is like $150

I have an iPhone - I use PS Express to make the combine photos . The lengthiest part was grabbing the screenshots off the website. Then it’s all layers and shrinking the image.

What fish would yall reccomend for me to get? The display portion is 115g, 4' long. I'm looking for mostly peaceful, colorful and active fish.

Probably going to head over to the fish store tomorrow and see what they have.

Any suggestions??

For a active, colorful, and peaceful fish I would suggest a marine betta!

Jk! I love one spot foxface, and pyramid butterflies but that's just me

Honestly Walker the only truly mellow saltwater fish I've ever had was a Filefish.
Super cool fish.
I've had a couple super chill small angels but they don't get along with everyone.
But I don't keep a lot of fish in the same tank so I probably had better luck because of the that reason. They also can/will/do eat/munch coral.

Tomini can be pretty chill.
I had a kole Tang that was pretty mellow years ago.

Joel, I know this one comes in late (swing shift today), but you nailed it my friend! I wish I'd thought of them the other day for you lol. No other outfit I know could claim Ska father status more so than Toots and the Maytals! One cold beer and some ear buds on my menu. Thanks friend
