Help, snake had koi, not sure for how long he was still breathing and is moving and swimming

Updating printer not going well

I'm having trouble updating the firmware on my K1. Every time I try to install the update, it fails with an "Installation Failed" message. I've already tried factory resetting the printer, but the issue still occurs. I also noticed something confusing on the firmware download page. The version listed as the latest is V1.1.0.27, but under "Older Versions" there are versions such as V2.3.5.34 and V1.3.3.46, which appear to have higher version numbers. I'm not sure which firmware I should be running or if this is related to the update failure? what should i do? i reached out to creality support but as usual you need to wait 2 days for one message

Upgrading tank from 10 to 20 and concerned about stand

so I currently have a 10 gallon water box aquarium and i just picked up a cheap brand new innovative marine 20 gallon long tank, im planning on setting up the new tank in 2 weeks and taking everything from the other tank. but now im worried about the cabinet that it is on, because its a fairly cheaply made cabinet and has a slight bow in the middle of it that for now has not become a problem but im worried when I fill the 20 gallon it may cause more bowing, the tank came with a leveling pad so that should help but im still concerned any tips would be appreciated

Not going well……

any ideaa on how to lower temps its in a sunroom that is fully in closed and sealed but has big windows and no cooling so it’s only 10 or so degrees cooler then outside and right now I’m going through a heatwave over 100F up to 120 later this week, I’ve tried it all but a chiller is too expensive for me any tips ?

Candy can Acan STN? Or what

(The last 3 images were taken on may 5 and the ones after all all from today)

so in early march I got this 2 head candy can acan, I put the coral on my frag rack closer to the top of the tank (shown in photos) withen probably 2-3 weeks I noticed it was not looking the best but not to bad so I did some research and learned its more of a lower tank coral and lower flow coral, because of this I moved it lower on to the rock shown, after a week I noticed some tissue recessing and figured I just pissed it off and left it but 3 weeks later I noticed more exposed skeleton and took photos in case i needed them later (last 3 photos) come to now I’ve noticed it seems to have gotten very slowly worse so I came here, it’s later in the day 7:30 pm so it’s closed up more then during the day and definitely opens up more during the day. Im assuming this is STN? I’m unsure, what do you think?

also the aenomone never moves and stays in his spot happily (thank god) and the Prada cup below dose sometimes send out sweeper tenticals but none have ever reached the acan.

NJ well causing water filter to become dark black within minutes

started filing my pool for about an hour a day with the hose mostly open and on the first day I got these dark black filters within minutes of finishing filling, (we have filled our pool like this for the last 3 years without problem) and now I’ve slowed down to less then 45 minutes a day but they just get dirty supper quickly like within 30 minutes of even not filling the pool, I noticed that the partials seem to be caught mainly in the last finer layer of filter, located in north west NJ of that matters, setup of filters in the last photo and that filter on the right is first in line and was just replaced under 10 minutes ago

Neptune apex Brain or PH probe broke?

so sunday afternoon I did some work to the tank and cleaned just the outside of my Ph probe with micro fiber and put it back in, and it worked totally fine, but then the next morning (Monday) I woke up to several notifications of a low and high PH levels so I panicked and ran out to the tank to see what happened but everything looked totally fine so I went into the apex app and realized these reading would be impossible from going from 7.8 to 5 to then all the way to 12 ph withen a hour would be impossible so later in the afternoon and check the probe was fully submerge and took it out and noticed a few air bubbles in the probe itself and I asked chatGPT and it told me to flick it like a doctor dose to a needle and it worked and showed accurate reading for about 45 minutes then jumped around and then today/ last night the probe jumps up and got locked on 12.4 ph like a solid line, not like it needs to br calibrated but just locked there so I get home today and unplugged the probe to do a RO water bath and vinger bath to clean the probe but during this cleaning I noticed it was still showing the ph locked at 12.4 while it was unplugged and was saying it was still reading it so I reset the Apex brain but nothing worked. do you think this would be a bad probe or a bad Brain?
