I just did a citric acid cleaning of my gyre and skimmer too
the brs recommendation was 3/4 cup per gallon of RODI
my gyre looks pretty clean, but my skimmer gets exposed to refugium light and man the algae that grew in there does not want to die. i did the citric acid soak for 30 min, then a few hours in a 1:1 vinegar water. algae still hanging out.. might have to borrow some muriatic acid from my parents ;Rage
I really appreciate that. I’ll take a look at mine when I get home.

Thanks! Adding this, just for better readability.

Chris, I'm so sorry to to be reading about your fish so far, totally sucks losing them but Could always have lowes or home depot cut the 2x4's and then possibly only have to drill a couple holes for bolts for easy assemble and disassembly. Hope the remaining pages in this thread turns for the better. Either way, this is one of the better ones I've read through, Happy ReefingThat’s true. Idk some of you know my power tool situation or lack there of, so that might be tricky. If things get worse before the stand arrives tonight/tomorrow morning I’ll start treating in my water change brute and get a new brute for rocks and other stuff. The tang does look a bit better! Thank you!
Aside from UPS and generators. ReefBreedersThey were good earlier but our nearby transformer blew and now we have a power outage. It’s been super hot and everyone is using their AC now, must have overloaded it. So my tanks are all sitting stagnant at the moment and the temp inside my place is rapidly climbing. Praying for a quick fix. Last time this happened I lost half my sps. I also wasn’t taking care of a velvet outbreak. Not the best timing PG&E.
Care to share which ones you have?Get yourself a marine deep cell cycle battery, a tender, and a power inverter. Fully charged, mine can run the mag 5 return, and 2 mp10’s for about 3 days. The only catch is you have to be there to set it up. I’m in a condo, so generator isn’t an option, but we lost power for 3 days last year from tropical storms, and I’m not taking any chances!

Holy flashbacks batman, suddenly it became the days of techno music before everything turned into EDM, lol. Thanks @crusso1993This is also a "fun" gif. Hahaha
dang dude, sorry to hear. Totally know how it feels. Non reef related I had a goldfish that I won in 1st grade, that thing lived for 13 years, even when my Italian grandmother would dump cooking grease into its tank while fish sitting. "Ralphy" is currently resting on the edge of my property bordering the wetlands. First animal that I grew attached too. That was a tough one. I use his name on some PW's for different things in his honor, lol.My yellow tang didn’t make it. He was looking very velvetish last night. My thought was let the fish recover from the power outage in the 90 and not stress them more before starting the non visually sick fish in qt. I also didn’t want to remove all the rocks while my coral was stressed and sps having rtn. It didn’t seem like the best time to be doing a rescape and all.
I liked that fish, had him almost 2 years. I’ll be alright, just figured I’d keep you all updated.
The tank looks so empty I hate it
Thank you @YHSublimeSure:
Here is the inverter I use
And a 12V Deep Cell Cycle Marine Battery (take your pick)
And a 12V charger/tender. I have one that I use for a boat and multiple batteries, so take your pick on this as well!
And a case (not needed, but keeps things organized IME)
