vlangel Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I am sorry Ben that you lost the anthias. I do think they can be difficult to transition. I am happy to hear that the chromis seem to be doing pretty well and that the coral look good. The tank looks real nice as a whole. 1 Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 I am sorry Ben that you lost the anthias. I do think they can be difficult to transition. I am happy to hear that the chromis seem to be doing pretty well and that the coral look good. The tank looks real nice as a whole. The crappy thing is that they were just settling in and eating well. But I agree that anthias can just drop like flies for no apparent reason. Looks like the new Apex system will arrive Monday, the Coralvue goodies on Tuesday, and the Apex double junction pH and ORP probes from BRS on either Tuesday or Wednesday. Just realized I don't have any pH calibration fluid, though, gonna need that. 1 Quote Link to comment
mpsti05 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Hmmm where would you place your temp probe for the apex? Trying to figure out where to put mine. The heater is in the big skimmer chamber in my sump on the reefer. The temp probe is pretty much in front the filter socks kinda in the chamber. Quote Link to comment

Mine are probably all gonna end up just hanging out in the return chamber of the sump lol. Quote Link to comment

Lawnman Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Also lawn, you'll really like the secret stuff coming When's it coming? Curious to what your opinion is of the new vibrant aquarium cleaner additive? Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 When's it coming? Curious to what your opinion is of the new vibrant aquarium cleaner additive? Tuesday, I think. The Vibrant stuff is just another purported miracle cure. Big claims with nothing to back them up except some pictures without context. 2 Quote Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 Apex? Wheres the fishbit. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1758456789/fishbit-your-aquarium-made-simple/posts/1721153 They need a few more weeks to even establish a timeline for delivery, so it'll likely be December before we get the timeline, and another 3-6 months after that for delivery so long as there aren't any other delays. I know you're right but I want you to be wrong I'd love to be wrong in this case, but I'd have a better chance of being a Nigerian prince in this case. 1 Quote Link to comment
drgibby Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I was super excited for the fish bit but I had to cancel my pre order back in august I think it wasn't to far before the first supposed release. I hope they get things going soon looked promising. Only problem is it's almost as much as apex and can't do as much yet 1 Quote Link to comment

I hope they get things going soon looked promising. Only problem is it's almost as much as apex and can't do as much yet It was a great idea, but it takes a lot of time and resources to get hardware working well, and not to mention on a mass scale, and I don't think they have the manpower for that at this time. I know they're probably super discouraged by delay after delay and that pulling my preorder is not a good thing for them, but it's just what I've gotta do. Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Apex arrived, got it networked, reset to defaults, connected to Fusion, and programmed up for what I have now and some more stuff coming this week, and a couple of possible extra bits of hardware that I don't know if I need yet 4 Quote Link to comment

jedimasterben Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 Took some pics tonight. The FTS looked awful lol, and most of the corals and gorgs were closed because I swapped the Tunze 6045 for a 6095 and took some time to get the Apex control dialed in. 9 Quote Link to comment

They're not super bright but they look fine to me. And they look the same on my phone and on my desktop. 1 Quote Link to comment

They look fine on my work laptop, too, this morning. Something about my phone just makes them super dark apparently Quote Link to comment
