i'm debating on it at this point, might just grab one from you depending on when i can find some freedom. Baby is due any day now. I'm hoping to have some stuff for you as well.
You can, but the wire may become brittle and start cracking so I've heard. Mine is sticking out on the top but gets plenty of splash on it, so far no issues
If it makes you feel any better, i used to work on industrial generators for caterpillar. One day i was sitting on the frame twisting a/c wires together for the fuel pump, i never wore gloves before this day, and i should add it was a hot day. Well.. theres no easy way to put this but the power...
i would take a stab at possibly water too clean then, stop dosing any calcium until that comes down to 440 as well. I would double check that reading as i've seen red sea be off from other test kits, it's the reason i switched to salifert for calcium. don't really need to put back the fish if...
also, do yourself a favor, get a second test for alk, i have both hanna and salifert, and make sure my readings are close (they won't be the same), to verify one is reading correctly. Always good to have a backup.
put something in to feed the coral possibly, could be water is too clean and they are starving with no fish in the tank, also, double check your refractometer was calibrated correctly. I've had that salinity issue in the past before.
Well, figured I'd give a small update after all this time, hair algae is gone, just in a small battle with bryopsis again, Its a slow battle but I'm winning so far. Added two more bartletts and a melanarus wrasse. Getting close to a full tank of fish.
