Got myself a smart power 4 gang outlet with 4 USBs and a surge protector which as Wi-Fi built into it and works with Alexa and Google home assistant.

Been trying this 4 gang outlet out now for a couple of days and I've got to say its actually very good.

Afternoon,

Got a RedSea Reefer 350 yesterday. Some minor scratches, no chips or any major damage. Paid £400 for it. Bargain if you ask me.

Mg is coming down to usual levels.

See photo. Do I buy a chemical to fix it? Do I let it be? The fish seem OK. They are eating and acting normal. All of them! I’m concerned it has something to do with the hermit crabs. Something tells me it’s them. Could be way off of the mark, mind.
