I don’t think there is any chance of echotech going out of business real soon but there’s always hope! besides the fact that mobius doesn’t work way too often, the persist in pushing it. Even when it does work, it’s not intuitive at all. And then every so often they push a new version and the...

You can buy a $10 Bluetooth speaker on Amazon and it will work flawlessly for years but spend $900 on an over priced light fixture from Ecotech and at the end of a long work day you’re gonna have to dick with it for hours to try and get it to work. I honestly hope they go out of business, they...

Nano skimmers just don’t work. There may be others, but this is the only exception I know of...

I’m sure some of their stuff works. Can’t all be broken. I don’t know, maybe 100% fail rate some metrics they’re trying to aspire to But I’m sure they could screw that up too.

I use 6105s. They are great, as they age, replacement parts are easily available and the customer support from Roger is beyond compare.

The first one 2 1/2 years at 45% replacement that I had to pay for flat out never worked. they didn’t even take the time to read my email, just automatic reply from letter. For one of the most expensive product lines in the hobby, you would expect customer service to be at least as good as...

Why would you even want it? All echotech products are absolute crap, this one just happens to be the worst. Do you really want to lose half your aquarium because some idiotic firmware update that shuts your plum ot lights down for 6 months before they get around to fixing it? $200 but I...

I’ve just had it with Echotech, it’s the most complicated unreliable overpriced garbage I’ve ever owned in this hobby and by no small margin. Buy Tunze, it does what it’s supposed to fro manny many years and if not Roger makes it right ASAP Roger aside, all other brands do about the same...

I’ll take all the metal halide.

+1 on the OGFH phyto! best stuff on earth!

@o2manyfish Has had some experience with fish and remodels, not good ones BTW I'd probably cover it and have a filtered air pump feeding it.

Yea, I've noticed .... so has my wife and she takes the opportunity to affirm her undying love for me and my fu***ng fishtank...

yea, house is warmer... I don't know if that accounts for it though. I did get 25#'s of new kalk. the stuff I'm using for the last 2 years had been stored in that bucket 15 years prior.

There abouts.

Is there a parking lot sale today (sunday)?

I don’t think so. I keep the big bucket sealed tight. The old IO bucket that you have to hit with a hammer to open and close. The smaller bucket has a snap lid but it’s has an O-ring too. I split a 50# bag with @laverda but we haven’t opened that yet. I‘ve emptied the 5 gal bucket and it’s...

I keep it sealed in a 5 gallon bucket with a screw on top and a rubber O-ring. I transfer it as needed into a 1 gallon bucket with an O-ring lid and use it from the 1 gal bucket to limit air contamination from the main supply. The pH has actually dropped .1 since I opened this thread...

A few things to get out of the way: The pH probe is 6 months old I calibrated it Wed, the 6th and to rule out bad calibration fluid, I bought new pinpoint fluid and calibrated again Saturday. Yesterday I cleaned out my Kalkwaser reactor and added about 1/2 pound of calcium hydroxide to it...

Don’t be too appreciative. Your tank is still going to cycle.
