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

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?

not my photo but look identical to these. they have been causing my Zoa to close up a lot and i think it’s starting to spread, what do I do? should I dip them in coral RX?

been getting these ph swings between night and day and I know its normal but these seem larger then normal, 10 gallon tank, dosing All for reef as needed, and 10% weekly water changes

it’s a nicrew navareef 65watt and it’s on my 10 gallon water box but ive tried finding any posts or forms on these lights schedules and couldn’t find any, dose anyone know of any or what do you think for this schedule? how do I even know if it’s anygood?

I have a Parker 2120 and last year we noticed that we were getting some really bad scans mainly at any speed and last winter I found that the scanner was hanging off super lose Im assuming just from being hit by waves and stuff, but this year I tightened it up as much as i can but I feel like it going to come lose again and flop around, anyone have any tips for better placement?
