Be prepared before it happens. I have everything on a battery ups backup. The apex will alert me of a power outage and turns off non critical equipment giving me 30-40 minutes of run time to get home. Dedicated generator in the garage that can run the tank for 12 hours on a tank of gas.
key is to test your backups before you need to use them. I’ve ran mine through simulated power outages to ensure nothing will overflow and everything stays running smoothly. I have since made changes such as running back up heaters on separate ups backups that kick on when the main ones die or fail. Another change was putting the Wifi router on a backup to make sure I always get alerts from the apex.

Uh oh? Is something wrong?
No more fish. Velvet killed off most of them and the rest are in QT again. Removed the sandbed, redid the rock to a NSA style aquascape. It’s filled back up now and flowing again but so far so good.

Thursday I drained down my entire tank if that counts as anything.

Black Ocean wonder plugs. I buy their bulk 100 count bags. Around $27 shipped I wanna say

Cleaned the Tunze wave box and doing a 20 gallon water change to remove some detritus in the frag tank.

What is the second frag?
Orange milli. Don’t think it’s anything fancy with a name.

Been working on my dosing pump stand to fit the new containers I made. This sits in the closet beside the tank and also is where the RO water is stored. the bottom will hold the trident waste container and CO2 scrubber.
Last picture is new zoa additions I picked up last minute yesterday and got shipped next day. -
I use micro7 all the time. My routine was after water changes but now that I have more dosing containers I’ll add it daily. I strongly believe a range of beneficial bacteria can really help tanks overcome algae issues and become balanced. I order the 2L bottles on Amazon to save on it.

Going to have to clean the glass tomorrow and I’ll join in late

Been neglecting my tank and projects to work on others but I’m going to get my new dosing containers up and running this weekend. CO2 reactor is running and the 1/2” lines really helped with proper airflow to the skimmer. The frag tank is finally thinned out after the cinci show so I can focus on some higher end pieces to grow out.

Was nice to meet everyone at the show. Hopefully there will be more this year

I will be. I still have a decent amount left on RT if anyone wants to make a deal.

Been a little side tracked with another project making acrylic boxes for a “living” periodic table but I did come up with some racks for my frag tank to hold 1” or 3” tiles along with 3/8” plugs. Might get the legs on and have them in the tank by end of next week.
