Good call. I agree that the max watts rated by the manufacturer should be correct. And I certainly hope so, as that was one of the main reasons for...
See my response above ;) These lower priced refractometers are just not accurate enough to calibrate at 0 PPT and then expect them to be accurate at...
Every measuring device has some error; the farther away from your calibration point, the less accurate it will be ;) Now some have higher accuracy...
Honestly, if you don't know what you are doing, I would not attempt to do this. Pulling plugs out partially can be very dangerous. I would either...
This made me :laughing0
Yes, you need to use the air pump at all times with the sponge to be effective. Just move the sponge and air pump over from the DT to the QT/HT when...
All you need to know is what is on the AC side, no? Whatever it draws AC is your power consumption.
I think you already got the "right" answer, but I also recommend to leave them on the frag plug until they are fully acclimated. And I leave the...
Keep in mind not all refractometers are made to read the same range. If it says to calibrate with RO/DI, then it was not "made" to read saltwater....
Excellent update as always. Keep up the great work!
Case in point that you can't post responsibly...you can't even post under your own name :D Sorry to hear your troubles. I do hope your surgery goes...
I know you are joking, but you really should add a disclaimer afterwards saying so! Too many people see things on the internet and then immediately...
You could use a clamp-on amp meter I would think. Measure the draw at the 120V outlet. Run the pump full speed. If it was truly 70 Watts, you should...
Far too many unfortunately. I recommend to everyone that they calibrate every time with 35PPT solution. Like I said, I did a test with RO/DI and...
Whatever is needed for you to view them :) For reef tanks, most stay between 10-12 hours of lighting start to finish. On my FOWLR tanks I do noon to...
I don't think they are due to bad water personally. I had a ton of them shortly after starting my tank up. They diminish in numbers over time.
Yup, same with mine. I tried calibrating with RO/DI and as you found read 2-3 PPT too high. So I calibrate everytime I use it with 35PPT solution.
With the 6000, at full speed and assuming 4.5' head, it should flow about 925 GPH, which is well more than I need in my 125. But, now that I am...
No, the DC-6000 would be perfect for a 150! (assuming a "normal" head of ~4') I will PM you GB details.
Well nice job on diagnosing the problem! Too bad you couldn't get any help, but at least you figured it out.
