OK so I got my apex back or rather a new one... I have reset it up how I wanted it as can't find the old config file. All seems to work OK and I can access it via the pc browser. If my Iphone is connected to the wifi on the same network the Iphone app works fine. If I try to connect via 3g I...

So my Apex arrives early this afternoon, wife off to work so I got the time to set it all up. - Label the outlets to suit me. - Program the outlets. - Calibrate and program the probes. - Set up the network and wifi. - Program the alarms. - All works great except the pH probe reads a bit high on...

Is this a sponge? It seems to be reproducing fairly quickly. Easily dislodged from the rock. Please say it's good! :) Anyone want some? W.

So I ordered the Apex Lite (decided that I don't need the few extras on the full). Got it for $369.99 including pH probe, calibration fluid and delivery so satisfied :) Anyway due to the tank and router locations an Ethernet cable is not practical so what is the best and easiest comparable...

For spares or repair - not working! No battery - I am keeping that as a spare. It doesn't seem to power up. Have done basic checks on it but don't have the test equipment to go any further. Free to anyone who wants to pick it up. W.

Apex Jr or similar. Main requirement is that it will control the heaters in the tank. PM or reply with details and price. Thanks. W.

Another bad day... came home lunchtime to see all the corals closed up and at least 2 fish missing. Looked at tank and temperature is at top of thermometer - 93F!!! Everything looked OK when I left the house about 8 am - although the lights weren't on. For whatever reason the heaters seem not...

Did a water change and do you think I can balance the drain to the return?! Can I f*&% - been trying to adjust the valves on both the drain and the pump and both together but just can't get it right. Been messing with it for nearly 2 hours now :( :( :( W.

If so this thread on a UK forum is worth a read! http://www.ultimatereef.net/forums/showthread.php?t=557219 W.

OK so before I never really worried about testing Mg - this tank I have corals and encountering some issues that I never had in the UK - for example I am getting some green hair algae so I am guessing it might be a bit low? What is the recommended Mg test kit and where is the cheapest outlet...

Any ideas what would have caused this death? It came with my tank and has been looking great until today when it went from being open to shrivelling up turning purplish and now has just become detached from the rock. Total time about 3 hours. Today's tank stats - 1.025, 82F, pH 8.2, Ammonia 0...

Anyone know of a small, as in compact heater? I want one or ideally two that will fit in my sump rather than my tank but all the ones above 100W are too long to be submerged. I've seen some slimline/flat ones on eBay but they don't seem to be adjustable in temperature and are all low wattage. W

Not sure if I can post non reef related items here or not - so please delete if not! We are looking for a queen sized sofa bed or futon that my older parents will be comfortable on whilst in town for the wedding and then can be use very occasionally for any visitors in the future. Being fussy...

How do people feel about fake things and 'toys' in their tanks? Mrs PW2B always takes great delight in the plastic shipwrecks, skulls, etc. My tank came with a big section of fake brightly colored coral - that went straight on the Craigslist free section! Personally I want my tank to be as...

Well I am from England originally. Have been coming back and forth to California since 1996 when I came and got my helicopter pilot licence and fell in love with the USA. Now getting married to Alison - a local girl from PV - next month. Had a 70 gallon tank when I was in the UK and had a...
