Yikes! What an eventful collection of issues
All one issue Ben. LOL
No CO2 > low Alk > baking soda. Crazy how the tank responded once the CO2 was back on and my Alk/CA stabilized - the growth tips are really stretching out now.

https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/adamaphe-65-gallon-build.297797/ When are you free to help me fire this baby up?Tank temp hit 81 today. Cool Tennessee weather is officially gone I think. I re-installed my cooling fan today, much to my wife's disappointment (it's loud).
I'm always amazed at how effective it is.
On a open tank, with good water circulation and surface agitation, "latent" heat is dramatically removed from water in an exchange between the water and the ambient air. As the liquid becomes a vapor, heat is removed. I think it's the amount of air flow and the relative humidity that determine how effective the heat removal is. I don't think the temperature of the ambient air is even a significant factor in the cooling.
This phenomenon is very pronounced, as an example, at the Red Sea. It's windy, the air temp is very hot and the humidity is relatively low. This chills the surface of the water, and can cause quite a surprise when getting in. [emoji6]
Anyway, tank dropped two degrees in about 45 minutes.
When I first met you and you explained the fan it was over my head. I finally put it in a automotive perspective. Been over a year lol. You just bolt on a turbo to the wall And put about 20lbs of boost in the tank!Tank temp hit 81 today. Cool Tennessee weather is officially gone I think.

I see you have orphek lights, what are you running? v3? do you like them?
You have some beautiful specimens. Sorry for the beauties you lost. There is a bright side. You get to spend more $$$ for replacements?!! Seriously beautiful tank.Neglect. That's the latest.
Lost a small purple monster, my orange passion and some red dragon - basically my my higher end more sensitive species.
I haven't been testing. Went on vacation for four days with no tank sitter. Putting off a large water change and needed cleaning, not to mention procrastinating treating for red bugs.
Depression. Ugh.

Come on buddy, get with it! Depression stinks, but a thriving reef smells great! - I'm looking forward to that tank interview you promised meNeglect. That's the latest.

You're welcome over any time friend, to se the good the bad and the ugly. LOLCome on buddy, get with it! Depression stinks, but a thriving reef smells great! - I'm looking forward to that tank interview you promised me
