I've been dealing with BA for around six months. I'm slowly but surely winning with it.. but it takes persistence. Every weekend when I do my water...
Heh, usually do. The compressed one was a little blurry though. Missonsix: That was my worry. :( I'd better start working on it. Many thanks.
Anyone confirm what this is... (please say 'rare jurassic furn algae' rather than what I'm thinking.) :-/ Warning, full res. [IMG] Only a few so...
Most of the overflow lines I've read about are 1.25 to 1.5. IIRC my 300 gph rated overflow recommended 1.25" to keep the 300, smaller and it...
No problem. :) The writeup is Here. No sonic ranger though, long term it would probably fail that close to saltwater. Float switch...

ATO Using Microcontroller & Float Switch Part I Preface: This won't cover all of the things needed to understand exactly how this works, such as...
I found 3reef from doing some googling. I'd been reading a variety of sites and there were two that had really had the most info/results. 3R and...
That looks very similar* to what came with my live rock. I can't find the link, but I believe mine are oysters. * Based on the light colored...

Ca is around 530 ppm. It won't bother me a bit as long as it isn't harmful having such a high mag/ca. The readings have been pretty stable since...
I've had a very high Ca reading the last three weeks. Dkh has remained at 8. I've had some trouble trying to keep my PH up (7.9 as of 20 minutes...
Love the work! Really makes me wish I didn't suck at woodworking. ;) K+
I'm a little shaky on the principles behind it, but my understanding is that Lumens and Watts aren't the best things to use to measure total energy...
ATO is jury rigged. It should work well until the float switches come in. Right now it is limited to two seconds of run time every two hours. That...
For the ATO, the plan is to try to make the system have some intelligence rather than just relying on switches that can fail. I want to avoid coming...
[IMG] Overflow and return line. The nozzle on the Loc-Line is about 1/4" below waterline. Power off test drains about three inches back to sump...
Now on to the overflow.. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Looks like it's going to fit. Bottom 45 won't be cemented so I can adjust it for bubbles/noise....
Sump is complete. Started it up two days ago, but I've been lazy with getting the pics off the camera. :P [IMG] [IMG] Fitting the return...
