Got a couple pics of this little beast of a hermit crab. I swear this little guy is getting huge. Make me wonder if its just a regular scarlet hermit🤔

That doesn’t look like a scarlet.... looks like a regular black hermit. I had a bunch of scarlets in my tank for a while and they’re a lot brighter and obvious than that dull color there.

Thanks buddy. If not my plans for my tank in 2020 is to not have a tank hahahaha.... dunno how you folks with cold weather do tank maintenance.  I was thinking of ya when I was washing all my wc  equipment when it was 50 outside today.. makes it not enjoyable at all😉

Ahhhh fancy... its kinda weird there are no basements here. You think with all the heat in summer a basement would be a good idea right???? Or no🤔... if I tried to clean my buckets in the laundry room the wife would have my ass!😉....

Sometimes it might not be what’s IN the water; but rather what’s missing?  If you haven’t changed water often previously, then some of your trace elements could be depleted?  I know corals can perks up when trace elements are right. But I really don’t recall seeing anything specific about depleting trace elements causing corals to go downhill though.  anyway, that’s why corals tend to look happiest the day or two after water change. Also why running the triton method requires a million different additives, because you’re not doing any water change with that method, so you have to keep adding stuff back in to the system.

Yea I was doing like 8 gallon wc almost every week. Sometimes missing 1 week here in there..  nothing crazy.  I started thinking my tank kinda wasn't doing the best when I switched to this fritz salt. And the last batch I got alk was mixing low at like 7 when it normally mixes at 8.5.. I have been dosing up the wc water to get it to about 8.3ish where my tank runs... so I dunno I think I going back to red sea blue bucket... or try and find something that mixes just a little higher than blue bucket..  I think I am going to start weighing the salt too and see if that makes a difference.  Right now I just add a half cup per gallon and then test with a refracometer and add more salt as needed..

  • 2 weeks later...

So need some help programming an apex.. I got a couple brs 1.1 ml dosing pumps and want to control them via apex. I dont need anything fancy just a simple on for X amount of minutes then off.. since I have no idea how to code this thing I decided I could just use the "light" control fuction.. so I was testing it out and trying to dose for 2 mins. Well it turned on the doser and would not turn it off... not good.  Now I can turn the outlet off manually via apex but the program wont turn it off..🤔

 

Any ideas what is causing this?? Oh and I do have my dosers plugged into the relay outlets 4 and 8(not the triac outlets)

 

 

Here is the code. Also the temperature shutdown stuff is just something that comes on the "light" preset , so I just set it to 85 to get it out of the way..

 

Any help from you apex guys would be great @HarryPotter
