    Default "Reliable Reefing" - Live Reef Chat Sunday 11/15- 9-11p EST

    This thread will be opened for our Live Topic Reef Chat at 9 pm EST.

    To best use this forum technology, set your user options to allow you to view the maximum posts per page (40). Occasionally, you may still need to refresh your page view to catch up in the conversation. Live Topic Reef Chat will automatically update the thread as if it were a live chat as people reply to the topic.

    This weeks topic is "Reliable Reefing - Beating Murphy's Law". We will talk about disasters and ways to avoid them...from simple to complex.

    Our chat may include discussions about generators, battery back ups, battery powered air pumps, controllers, redundant pumps, separate circuits, on hand water, etc.

    If you have had an incident with your tank, please bring it up so we can discuss it and brainstorm precautions for you and others to take to avoid having it happen again.

    I have the two closed loops (although I was recently a victim of low tide) that help with circulation (I dont run one of them right now) should one fail. All my ballast are seperate so I dont loose all the lights in case of failure.

    I have multiple dosers as well incase one fails I always have one open to switch over to.

    I have an extra dual ballast on stand by as well just in case and an extra return pump here.

    I run heaters and a chiller too in order to maintain a temp range of a few degrees.
