Just finished installing the wifi inkbird it was super easy. I had a normal inkbird on it but I wanted to upgrade too the wifi one on my saltwater tank. I will move the non wifi one to one of my freshwater tanks that doesn't have one currently.

CT scans were clear, so I just have some bruises. Back to work half shifts this week, no patient contact, no lifting, pushing, pulling over 20 pounds
Good news

Ok Tim. I need you to just stay calm.

How deep is it? Can you swim? Just don't panic, that'll make it worse.
You forgot, swim with the current not against it!😉

Mine will be here soon. These seem like a great option to expensive systems. I also have a helio, Innovative Marine controller. It is supposed to have alerts also. Going to pull it out and check it out.

I can swim. It's fairly shallow - 12' to the top but we usually only keep it filled to around 10'.
