Acielot Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Solution to your miso problem is simple. Just buy one of each. Make them all and throw a miso party. Sorry to hear about the water damage troubles. I havent experienced anything quite that bad myself, but I do know how obnoxious water damage is. 2 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Things are getting better. The high salinity event caused browning and I also lost a few of my SPS. Some recovery photos. Both of these are taking during the same lighting period. During the mid-day cycle I find my light to be the most unfavorable, everything shows beige and brown with little color. So these are taken during the most unflattering photo period. July 10 July 15 4 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 In only five days It took forever to get to the July 10th mark. The tank is happy, the water is stable so it is recovering faster now. Not out of the woods yet though. And my ATO is on the fritz again. Quote Link to comment

I kind of want to get a Smart Micro, but my Tunze nano has been going strong for quite a while. The only time it did something weird, it was stuck at 'on' because of calcium buildup. My reservoir emptied out just before the water spilled out of the tank (thank goodness), and I gave it a vinegar bath to fix it. Also snails. Snails are evil. I started keeping a closer eye on the ceriths getting past the overflow teeth. 1 Quote Link to comment

I started keeping a closer eye on the ceriths getting past the overflow teeth. Thanks. Just keeping on swimming. I stopped keeping dwarf ceriths with my new tank and the gyre. Stocky ceriths are very good workers and don't get caught in places they shouldn't be. Whoa Kat! Just caught up the last several pages, sorry to hear about your troubles! Stay safe, mold can make ya sick Thanks Tamberav. We are trying to get out of the apartment as much as possible. Yesterday I literally had to get out in a hurry, I had a massive head ache and my throat started to hurt. Much better today, the dust has settled, they removed everything that was mouldy and wet. And the dryers and hepa is also working. 2 Quote Link to comment
JavaJacketOC Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Sorry to hear about the flood. We experienced something similiar when I was younger due to a fire in the apartment above us...the fire department doesn't hold back. The property management company completely moved us to another apartment because the time to repair was so long. Get some new wood floors that are actually tile http://www.homedepot.com/p/MARAZZI-Montagna-Wood-Vintage-Chic-6-in-x-24-in-Porcelain-Floor-and-Wall-Tile-14-53-sq-ft-case-ULRW624HD1PR/205473903 2 Quote Link to comment

markalot Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Timed ATO is the only way. Floats are just something to go wrong. Glad to see everything has turned around. 3 Quote Link to comment

markalot Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 It's a Hydor, no floats. Right, I have that, or had it until I tossed it. The SmartLevel controller with the 3 prongs that never seem to be consistent as to when it turns on and off? 3 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 It's a Hydor, no floats. I really liked my Hydor, other than the narrow range between "refill", "just right", and "start beeping and scare the crap out of the whole family because it's too full" levels. Unfortunately, I got tired of replacing the diaphragms on my Tom's Lifter every year. But that's not Hydor's fault. I'm sorry the leak situation turned into such a disaster, Kat, but I'm very glad it sound like the insurance company and the contractors are making sure they get it done right Quote Link to comment

It uses a temperature differential, so it takes it a about five or ten seconds to register when the water is or isn't touching the sensor. Which makes it a little less useful in a pico tank. But since the Aqualifter fills really slowly, it works out OK 2 Quote Link to comment

Other than that I just caused a leak of my own Left the water running and overflowed the bucket into the fish bathroom. 2-3 inches on the floor. oops. Suctioned it up with an MJ1200. And made good use of one turbo air dryer out of the 6 that are drying the other half of the apartment. 6 Quote Link to comment
Nano sapiens Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Whoa, what a mess! Sorry to see the water damage One silver lining, at least it didn't happen in the middle of winter...during a storm. Hang in there! 1 Quote Link to comment

Tamberav Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 My Tunze 3155 has worked flawlessly since I bought it in 2013, it's too big for a pico/small nano's but great for the bigger tanks 30g+ I have the.. uhh new micro ATO on my 10g, so far it works good but the blue light on it grows GHA, no GHA anywhere else in the tank (so far)... 2 Quote Link to comment
