Good Morning!

[MrsBugmaster]

Good morning. Good to be back home. I have a lot of work to on tanks and house. It’s never good when I leave and husband and daughter stay home. :rolleyes: Plus my husband has 5 college buddies coming for the 4th and staying a week so gotta get bedrooms, house and tanks cleaned for that.

you're saying your sdc return resets the controller after a power off/on?

Yep - I still cannot connect it to the wifi either. I do not know if I can correct the issue once I get connected to the wifi but right now... this is a huge PITA. Thankfully, all that is in the tank is sand and rock. If I had corals in there and it does this, I will blow them to bits. We've had three brown outs in two days. I was not home for the first one. It freaked my husband out.... all he heard was the massive sucking sound from the siphon on the main drain ... followed by watching the sump level rapidly rise. Thankfully power kicked back on before he had the chance to see how high the water would go. Unfortunately, the pump came back on at 100% (not 30% as I had manually set it). He said it came out like a fire hose.
Either I get this fixed or I need to get a battery back up or I switch brands.
My son in law is going to stop by tomorrow. I call him my millennial tech support. If he can't get it hooked up to the wifi then I'm getting on the phone with BRS.

Good morning!

it’s grey and gently raining here. I’ve been napping on the couch this morning. Didn’t sleep that much last night.
woke up when my SO came to bed. Then two hours later the smoke detector decided to play us the song of its people. Couldn’t find smoke anywhere.
Then had trouble falling back asleep.

but it’s okay. I have an absurdly comfy couch and an absurdly cuddly nap buddy.
Have a good one everybody

this is strange. my power goes out, I have a full house generator that powers up in 15 seconds, and the pump runs fine.
I don't use the wifi.
I would contact sicce usa direct. the guys are very helpful.

Morning!

Good Morning! I, for one, find your experiences very informative. Thank you for being on the bleeding edge and reporting the conditions there to those of us following behind. Some information is similar to finding an ocean chart that depicts monsters out near the edge of the world. did the explorer experience that or were they doodling on the margin out beyond their travels? It is credible to those who have never set foot on a boat. "oh, and don't forget the harpoons, we're going to need them"
Happy Sunday!

I will contact them again after my millennial tech support gives it a go. If the power blips, the controller just starts flashing, Someone else mentioned the same issue with the 7.0 model. At least I know I'm not crazy. (Well - not about this anyway.)

Did you hear about the first restaurant to open on the moon?
It had great food, but no atmosphere.

It sounds like the speed setting is not getting saved locally as it should. When the pump is running at the proper speed, is the little red padlock indicator lit up red? Top left corner. If not, the speed setting has never been saved. Tap the ON/OFF center button. That should light of the padlock and save your setting.

I don't think the instructions actually cover this basic function. Not in English anyway.

Finally got a new shrimp. Angela also got a new “Black Samurai “ Betta!
Please excuse my back glass. Have not cleaned it in a while. There is my missing RFA back there!

Millennial Tech Support came over today. It took him a few tries and a few choice words about Sicce but he got it connected. The little padlock is lit now. Fingers crossed for the next brown out. Thanks for the tip!
Pulled about 20% of the rock (without corals) to move to the new tank. Spend a good amount of time assassinating vermetid snails. That was oddly satisfying. I build three face frames for the canopy. Neck gave out, so I'll pick that up another day. At this rate, I should have lights up by the end of next week and then everybody can start moving.

Tomorrow is going to be an eventful day. I have a job interview at 10. I'm expecting a call in the afternoon to get more info on the surgery and most importantly .... it's my daughters 21rst birthday. No matter what happens with my job or my surgery - I'm blessed.

Both my post grad kids get called in for tech support on occasion. I think they get some satisfaction from it so happy to call them in for it.
I/we share your perspective about all the blessings and wishing you strength for the interview and the medical work you have ahead.

It reminds me of when my grandparents used to call us to program their VCR.
He called me when he got home to tell me that he read a bunch of online reviews about the SDC pumps and that they are notorious for dropping the router connection then starts going into some long explanation about what the process is to reset it.
After listening to my deafening silence, he added "and when that happens, just call Millennial Tech Support."

Good morning. I heard that 2 radio antennas got married at that restaurant last week. The wedding was boring but the reception was amazing!

When the algae grows I will scrape it to look like the death star lol

Good Morning Reefies.
everyone make it through the weekend unscathed?
red sky at morn....
looks like more storms all week.

have a great Monday everyone.

 

[ReefGrammie]

Good morning. Let the overtime games begin! Going to be a long 2 months, but things are going to change in September. I'm just going to ride it out until then.

I worked over some mushrooms this weekend with the majano wand. That was fun. These mushrooms came from my original tank and survived the tank apocalypse. They can survive anything....except the majano wand. I normally leave them alone. You start messing with my acans, though, and you're doomed! I just trimmed a little off the top. :D

Have a great Monday....wait, what am I saying? :rolleyes: It's Monday.....

I feel bad. I got a bit sarcastic with a newbie who was going to follow some really bad advice from people that don't even have build threads or avatars. Never mind his refractometer, his bull excrement detector is way off.
I wasn't the only one telling him don't do that. The people that know things don't speak up anymore. Idiots are going to drag us all down.

Amen and Good Morning!

 

[BeltedCoyote]

Good morning!
Weekends are never long enough!
