I was just thinking about you guys on my way to work this morning wondering if you were doing well! Was RAP as amazing as I imagine it being?

How is your Eibli ?
She’s doing great, always cruising the rock picking the rock and loves the nori I put in daily. Leaves the corals alone 🤞. You ordered oneCB?

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!

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.

RAP went well! Got to meet a lot of R2R members, got to catch up with a lot of people, and overall had a really good time
