I'm looking to start a deep cleaning of my equiptment and looking for some feedback; pumps, skimmer, wavemakers, replacing heaters etc..
1. Is citric acid what i should be using for the cleaning?
2. I got a inkbird monitoring the heaters and fans. Yesterday the readings went out of wack, it...
It happens to all of us, I was siphoning the tank with a hose into the filter sock one day. Had the pumps off and the sump overfilled and skimmer went crazy. In hindsight, it made sense but it still happened lol.

Thanks for checking on it! If he eats next week, might pick it up. He would be going into a qt for observation and treating internals so nursing it isn't a problem, as long he shows some interest in food.
Thanks for the update, that is why radiatas are hard to find, he might not make it if already in rough shape. :( If it's not out of your way @deepblue68, see if it is getting better.
Has anyone seen any stores with one in stock? Preferably one that is eating and is not in a copper system. I am very weary on online ordering and prefer to see whatever fish before purchasing it.
