Did you get the 306 wifi? I liked the 308 since it was able to turn on the fans and/or heater, but they don't make a wifi aquarium version for it. Customer support said you can cut off the metal probe and attach the silicone probe, so it's something I was looking into doing.
Just found out this was a thing, I ran a regular inkbird and it worked well until the readings went out of wack.
Anyone try the ones with wifi and 2 probes? Looks like if 1 probe is 5° dif from the other, it will message you.
Found some post on R2R and there was an interesting paper on Nitrogen/Phosphorous limited growth. This one didnt test chaetomorpha, but did test some other of the common algaes. For those interested in this kind of stuff...
More recommended to use an acrylic tank for those, people say they can shatter glass, and better safe then sorry. Unless its the spearing type of mantis. Those you need sand for them to burrow themselves.
I kinda wanted one to sit in my sump but its not worth the risk with a glass sump sadly. ☹...
You can try making a platform with plywood and have one side 1" higher than the other. Asthetically, it wont look good (unless you put some extra work into trying to make it match the cabinet) , but 1" is alot to rely on shims.
Pic is not to scale and the amount of legs is just a concept, im...
For a 72x24x30, every inch of water that gets drained is ~7.5gallons
So lets say the sump is a 40 gallons, and it holds 23 gallons of water when running, the water can drop a lil over 2 inches before the sump starts to overflow.
L x W (of tank) (inches)
x h (difference between top of water level and return nozzle hole) (inches)
/ 231 (conversion in^3 to US Gal)
= # gallons of water that will siphon back
***You can drill a hole in the return line, or just adjust the height of the nozzle to affect the water level...
