Welcome neighbor. We're building in Security.
Good work dude. Perfect example of hydrometers being crap.
My octopus BH-100F HOB's inlet is a surface skimmer. At one time I had a PH pointing to push the return water away from the intake. I eventually...
OK, I misunderstood your situation. Exactly my recommendation at this point. Take some SW out and replace with FW. I forget how big your tank is...
I like that idea... Honestly, I'm on power companies side. I totally think it's bs and sucks out the kazoo but they did restore it as soon as it...
unless, were you topping off with SW? It only now occurred to me that I have been assuming you have overdosed Mg and/or Ca specifically... Would...
yes. that is what happens when your Mg is that high. It raises your SG. That is a different 1.028 than you would have if you were, say topping off...
IO is perfectly fine for reefs. I don't know why anyone would say they don't have all the trace elements needed. Plenty of people use it...
well now that is pretty is cool. thanks for sharing
What do you mean? I still don't do water changes... I guess I'm still in that camp. I did maybe 1 or 2 in all of 2010. This post is over a year...
It'll eventually come down on its own. IME Mg doesn't drop all that fast though so it would take some time. As far as WC, this reduces it only if...
I do not understand your question... I said IO in my post... Do you mean something else? It has been shown that having Mg readings over 1600 will...
I think you're right OP. IME, Mg levels over 1600 will indeed stunt coralline growth (IMO, a reason to keep Mg high!!!). You can use a salt mix...
That's neat! I assume someone notified them? It's awesome you had that water sensor to alert. It's also awesome (in a way) that the tank was still...
wowzers, that's one messed up car. Glad things are getting better. Relieved actually might be a better word. :)
what's the problem with the glass? I know some folks intentionally put coke/beer bottles, etc. in their tanks... Is this glass different somehow?
;D I got a good laugh out of this thread. Mine is informative. P
Glad you're back! Is the tank still up? I guess it is if you still have some of those awesome fish. You are rebuilding completely? Do you still...
I feel like you are already bordering on over stocked. A mandarin probably won't last long in a tank that size (regardless of other inhabitants)...
sorry bout the shrimp. Nice to see you around Jwin. GL on gettin the peacock you two - looking forward to the pic updates ;D
