To be 100% safe during a severe lightning storm, the only thing you can do to make sure your tank is separated from the power lines and the earth's...
I hear Tangster makes some awsome Ca reactors, de-nitrator coils, and can get you just about anything - lights to skimmers for a great price. He...
I think one should be fine. As long as it provides a path to ground, it will serve to give 'stray voltage' a path out of the tank. If lightning...
WELCOME... and thanks Otty :bigcry:.
*clap, clap, clap* Yes, and for conventional use, meatball may be correct. But like you (PharmrJohn) now understand, that voltage potential in your...
yes, placed in the saltwater, sostoudt.
So explain it then.... Where are you measuring this 110 or 120 volts to and from if there is no closed circuit? On a closed, grounded circuit it...
Good call ReefSparky. I guess what I had really meant to be saying was that there is no voltage without current in a closed circuit. So you can't...
Home depot sells a "GREENLEE GT-11 Voltage Detector", which should light up and chirp when you put it near the hot (typically black) wire, with the...
"Let's get ready to RUMBLE..." Do you even know what voltage is or how to measure it? Voltage "is the difference of electrical potential between...
We can't talk about Fry without our old pal Zoidberg.
From that article -- "Voltages can exist without there being any current. For example, birds sitting on a power line may be in direct contact with...
Tom, you always make me take out a dictionary when I ready your posts, LOL.
Yes, farmerjohn, ReefSparky (if "Sparky" didn't give it away) is an electrician, and Tangster did HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work. I was a...
And if you don't want to do water changes, FWIW, I think vinegar could be used to bring the Alk down, but like Tanster said, why would you want it...
Ok, that makes sense. I can't mix a full 5 gallons though, because it would be too hard to pour it into the tank w/o spilling everywhere. I only mix...
Water changes will dilute any levels too high in your tank.
Gazog, if i were you I'd be using 2.5 cups for 5 gallons or 1.5 cups salt mix for 3 gallons. I mix to 1.025 SG, but maybe your SG is lower for some...
The problem might be your tap water. But how much undissolved salt are we talking about here? Half a teaspoon or less at the bottom of the bucket?...
