Love it and everything by The Doors but not your implication, pal!

I can totally hear that attitude when you said "Pal"

Considering you’ve never heard my voice, you have no idea. That may be remedied shortly.

have you guys ever tried just doing a video on your phone and the taking a still shot of the video? Wont be the "best" quality but would probably be easier than trying to get a single shot that isnt blurry.

Not too shabby of an idea....... Ran about 30 seconds in 2 videos

Nice! Whatever will you do for your next trick? Perhaps use a filter? I can’t wait to find out!

Ahem

Ahem

Nice! Whatever will you do for your next trick? Perhaps use a filter that actually filters properly? I can’t wait to find out!

Going European on the reef today, finally switched the Inkbird over to Celcius for more accuracy.

Fahrenheit on these things is only adjustable in 1 degree increments, however Celsius allows decimals, you can get more precise than a 1 degree F temp change. Albeit 1 F is not a concern on the reef, but I'm gonna get picky anyway.

The documentation lists 0.3 C as the minimum differential, however it let me set down to 0.1.. Running at 0.2 C now, range is clicking properly at 25.4 to 25.6 C.

So, instead of 77.0-78.0 F temp swings we should have 77.72 to 78.08 F.

In theory anyway, since it lists a +/- 1.0 C accuracy

Don't worry, I also installed an idiot gauge to be safe

Caught my XR15s acting up during moonlight phase last night, this has happened just a few times in the past year where one of them will stick on green and require a reboot.....

Annoying since it also overrides the light cycle, will not dim with the other at night so it sticks green 24/7 until you reboot..

All good:

Hey, bud. Sorry I've been in my own world the last few weeks. Just getting caught up to speed here. 1) love the pup pics, dude. Thanks for sharing those; and 2) the tank is looking great!

Geez, you can’t even get centered in the meme! If you really loved him it would be between the cheeks!
Or sheets…

All calm on the reef this week, not much changed except adding an overflow line to the skimmer cup. 5g bucket for now but this will get trendier when the ATO/RO stand is complete.. Getting ready to leave the tank for a week+ shortly, need to finish this move.. (spoiler, the LFS is on the way ).

Alaska intermission, had some moose visitors today. Dog status: "less than thrilled"...
