Cool, I'm not familiar with those, but they certainly seem to brighten the tank nicely. Was it pretty much plug and play, or was there some diy...
Small 2KW generator. Sunday power was down from, IIRC around 9:30am to 2am. Yesterday just a few hours. Hopefully everything is fixed now. I...
Whether it's harmful or not will depend on the purity and composition of the metal. There is probably no way to tell without fish dying, but I...
Ah yes, that's right. Sorry, must be worn out from all these power outages. Looks great though either way :lol:
I'm surprised your PO4 is detectable with the Hanna. I think my setup is fairly similar to yours. I don't have a fuge either, and just run a 2-3"...
I apologize if this is covered in the coral article, but I won't have a chance to read it until latter. Anyways, how do you fine tune GFO with...
I think filtering out the precipitate is the reason it hasn't become popular. How were you thinking if doing this? Sent from my iPhone using...
Agree, except, GAC removes organics and with the organics, inorganic toxins bound too them. Also, GAC removes organic toxins. Your CUC can help...
:o Are you serious, you are only feeding 2x per week? This is why I hate when people bring up this feeding BS. You tank needs to eat, period....
Looking great Steve! I think your tank is definitely liking the extra intensity. Shows T-5s, without individual reflectors, really can be...
I always cringe when I hear this, especially when I see so many skinny fish and corals in tanks with "alga" issues. I'd prefer to word it as:...
GFO and GAC. Probably more than the recommended amount at that and change out frequently. Probably at least weekly for the GAC and biweekly for the...
Line conditioners aren't that expensive though. Especially if you don't need much voltage. Regardless, I'd rather sacrifice a pump than my corals...
Got home from dinner, power was back on... malac0da13 that's awesome, both the power and your son. Of course as I'm writing this, I'm sitting...
D'oh, just got a call. Power went out again... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I don't find much variation at all as far as evaporation goes. Maybe a few percent variation daily within a given month. Not enough to worry about....
Same here really. I happened to be looking out the window and there was a big gust for about 30 seconds. My entire yard was raked a few days ago,...
Few states north. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
True, but also much of GACs capacity comes from the surface area created by all the small pores. These are so small they get clogged up easily and...
Good advice, or if its more than a few years old, I'd just replace it. You can wash it and siphon the detritus all you want, but that isn't going to...
