Retired after 21 years (17 in operation) .....

Folks can debate what constitutes ‘best’; answer’s easy for me.

Amazing!

this CaRx will support a system of 1,215.75 gallons.

I love the resolution of your calculation, down to the 1/4 gallon.

Next is Trident - should arrive on Thursday, then setup over the weekend. Also expecting my heat exchanger that Bill Wann has built for me. Really keen to dispense with the chiller. That'll be it for the Summer.

How was the price point on bills exchanger?
I would love to do one but have been worried about it costing an arm and a leg

I put in a BRS in-stock notification and just happened to be free at my computer when it pinged. After I placed my order, a minute or two later, I mentioned it to a buddy of mine. Already back to out-of-stock.

Just an arm....

Should be getting an apex trident today. Did the requisite apex firmware update last night - always a scary proposition for folks like me who know just enough about this kind of tech to be dangerous. Seems like trident is an easy setup. Hopefully so. Not going to post a separate thread - there are enough of those already; but I will detail my experiences here.

Haven't posted a FTS in a while …...

Green slimer really needs to be blown up.

 

[McPuff]

Man your corals have really filled in!

Looks great Simon... I really like that Little Rock Beauty!

 

[ca1ore]

Anemone really needs to split already though …..

Just an arm....

I bet it has to be worth it tho for a tank this size

 

[ca1ore]

I'll let you know …..

Received and setup apex trident this evening. Very easy to setup. Ran one Alk test - about 1.3 dkh lower than I’d been getting with the Hanna. We shall see once it is calibrated.

I'm starting to follow. I'm going to do my best to catch up. I have many posts to go through. :-)

Assuming they are accurate, initial trident tests say 9.05 for alkalinity, 448 for calcium and 1317 for magnesium. Literally have never tested for the latter two on this tank.
