[FARMBOYREEF]

It’s @reefkinetics reef bot install tonight. I am using it to track my cycle on THE HULK can’t wait to get some results !

Hey gang, when it comes to cleaning all that nuisance algae on our glass or that purple and pink coraline Algae you need a strong cleaning magnet for the job. I picked up the great white plus for the hulk build come and check it out.

Ok farm farm hands, I look around the corner and The Hulk is a sleep lol. The moon light are on.

My next toy that getting hooked up this weekend ! Can’t wait to get it plumbed into the system the new @paxbellumllc Arid 36

Other than it measuring for consistency, seems like a waste of $130 to me. I've also researched this topic and come to the conclusion that it's a widespread problem.

Good morning bud. Hope all is well. Whats a wast of money ?

The Hulks Stand is in place just have to bolt everything together.

Just starting to read this tank build ,,, I should have guessed the stand would be green

I’ve got both of them and I wouldn’t trust the Apex salinity probe unless it’s been calibrated against something I trust like a good refractometer or in my case now the Hanna. Once it’s calibrated against these it’s usually fine (other than it needs recalibration every 3 months or so) otherwise you might as well guess a salinity reading with it.

Whenever I’ve used the calibration solution it’s just way off and usually 2-3 ppt to high.

I hear you. We spend all this money thinking apex is the best but its like a toy that sometimes works. Apex needs to maybe spend a little money and make there products better and higher quilty materials.

Watching the video above as I type this message. Yes, I can multitask. It's what happens when a person's attention span is, shall we say, lacking.

Anyway, I very clearly recall you asking for guesses as to how long it would take to fill the tank with RO/DI water. I also remember you starting the timer on your phone in that particular video. I think I was the only one who hazarded an estimate. So, my question is; according to your phone timer, how long did it take?

I have a Pax Bellum on my system also ,, was working great ,,, then it wasn't turned out it was the Vibrant I was dosing to the tank to get rid of some Bubble Algae ,, took forever to get that Vibrant out of the system ,, what I should have done was to gave every piece of equipment on the system a vinegar bath to speed that up ,, Pax Bellum is back to working like it should be ,, I have to dose liquid Iron to the tank weekly or Chaeto growth will stop when the iron in the system is used up ,,
