-ve Update And A New Toy For Checking The Tanks Return Pump.
Not much to update (well not much positive anyway).
A while ago I had an issue and my salinity dropped to 1.020 for a few weeks. By the time I got on top of it I had lot a lot of my softies.
Since them I seem to be battling a never ending fight with Algae, Dino's, PO4 and NO3. Still fighting it, but at least things have stabilised. That's not the thing that's is the most disheartening, it's the Aiptasia - man am I good at growing that.
Tried a Copperband - got a really nice one, was eating frozen Mysis/Brine, etc. All was good until those damn Damsels beat the crap out of it. Anyway, I am now trying to catch 8 x damsels - that's a slow process.
Anyhow, @Rob put me onto the SonOff gear so I order a 16A POW and one of their IP66 housings. Made this up.
and from my Mobile I can check on the power status remotely
What I still need to confirm is if the return pump is jammed/blocked for any reason, does it still consume power (which gives me another level on comfort hopefully when I am away).
