I heard they're having manufacturing issues. Who knows what that means hopefully it comes back.

Hey Rick, I started reading backward (that’s how I do things ) through your thread to learn more about how you do things. I came across this post about the skimmate locker. I use mine when I travel. What was the accident with yours?Hey sorry I’ve been preoccupied so I’m late to reply!
1. I love the avast auto neck cleaner, it’s been very helpful. I stopped using a skimmate locker though after I had an accident. The neck cleaner has been a real jewel though.
2. I love the powermodule and wouldn’t swap it for anything
I've always admired your display, perhaps my favorite reef tank. Amazing work with this Chalice and best of luck with the new studio.So I broke down and ordered 40Kg of the little Reborn media since it was all that I could find, I paid a small fortune for it, but it should mean I don’t have to worry about calcium and alkalinity for the next 5 years or so. Now I’m going to have to apologize to my UPS driver again!
what would you have used in lieu of it? I ordered a 40# box not too long ago, and then recently heard about the "shortage", and sure enough, no one has it anymore. I wouldn't know what to substitute for it since I like it so much. Someone said LFS can get super coarse crushed coral substrate that could work, but I don't know where to find something like that online.So I broke down and ordered 40Kg of the little Reborn media since it was all that I could find, I paid a small fortune for it, but it should mean I don’t have to worry about calcium and alkalinity for the next 5 years or so.

do you? How is it?noone wants to use ARM?
That’s one I’ve heard as well!I heard they're having manufacturing issues. Who knows what that means hopefully it comes back.
Thank you so much!just stunning
Mine was a combination of my fault and the sensor slipping out of the rubber gasket in the lid so when the skimmer overflowed it just filled the 5 gallon bucket of skimmate with tank water and it started filling the stand. Fortunately I caught it before any serious problems happened and I probably only lost about 10 gallons of tank water. (a shop vac is a fantastic way to suck 5 gallons of water out of your stand real quick.). After all that I decided I’d rather just empty my skimmer cup and not worry about that ever happening again.Hey Rick, I started reading backward (that’s how I do things ) through your thread to learn more about how you do things.

I’m not sure what I would have tried. Probably would have ordered some of the brightwell aquatics media to check it out, or just ordered ARM, or ran aragonite sand.

So the reason why I personally wanted to avoid switching media to ARM is because I have just refilled my reactor with 22lbs of reborn, and have a few pounds left over. At a certain point I’m going to have to top off the reactor, and if I want to use ARM and have it actually contribute the pH will have to be much lower than I currently run the reactor, which means I’d have to dump out what’s left of the reborn and replace it all with ARM since the melting points are so different. (I’m trying my best to avoid that as long as possible). If I was going to use ARM I’d save myself a headache and use it exclusively. Hope this helps explain my thoughts.noone wants to use ARM?
Quick update. Things seem happy and on the upswing again
Definitely looking good!Quick update. Things seem happy and on the upswing again
It’s got new growth showing up too, so I think I’m back on track.That homewrecker is getting big Rick!
