A lid would slow down evap, but would also raise temp in the tank. You may counter the increase by using an external return and moving electrical...
I've been running mine at about 77 degrees. I've been sending about a gallon a day into the air with a 120 gallon tank. Seems like with your house at...
Why do you want to know the weight of the glass? How does that affect what you put in the tank?
Looks like a class act.
I don't know that it's that important how much bleach. A cup in 30 gallons would take out any microbes. Think in terms of how much goes into a...
Welcome back PJ. I recommend just putting the rock in a big bucket with salt water and a pump for circulation. It may take a couple weeks to get the...

Here's a good article that gives some perspective on the sources of phosphate. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2012/3/chemistry
I'm not sure of the best acid to use but I've seen other posts on here of people using acid on rock. Maybe someone else can chime in on that.
Phosphates in the rock would likely be only a small portion of the phosphate. The majority comes from fish and feeding. The phosphate that is in the...
Wow Cheryl I'm blown away at the progress on your tank in such a short time. Good to see a master at work.
