Found this puppy for $49, add on a few more bucks for some wiring that I'll have to do myself, and I've got myself a single stage temperature...
Hey, thanks for asking. I'm still pretty set on them being Dispar, I guess I'll wait until one of the females morphs to get a final verdict. All...
Whoa! Careful, sodium bicarbonate (regular baking soda) will raise his KH, which is the last thing he wants to do. Baking the baking soda at 400*...
Bubbles and Dori (guess what kind of fish they are... lol). Dori follows Bubbles around the tank all day long, it's almost like they're a mated...
Most of my equipment/dry goods are ordered from Marine Depot, they usually ship same day if I order before 3pm PST, and because I'm local, the...
Just curious, what's the flow rate through your sump?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that these should only be used for bubble traps. Trying to use them to hold in a fuge seems to be a disaster...
Sorry to hear that Face. What happened? As mentioned before, if the water level is significantly higher on one side of a baffle, you will experience...
I've said that about many things, however, I've only been right a few times. Thankfully, I found 3reef, so that's one more I'm right about. Phew! ;D
Lol, and here I thought it was just me! ;D Having the same problem.
Good to hear the female clown made it.:)
And here's my plug for reconfigurable baffles... skip the silicone and have more flexibility......
No prob, just trying to help. Your's sure was a head scratcher for a bit... glad you figured it out!
Yeah, I'm talking the utility pumps as a return from my sump, not a circulation pump... I have Koralia's for that.;D
The new ones, I'm looking at the NJ 5500, which pumps 1385 gph at 0' head. I'm primarily interested in noise/vibration level, and what it's output is...
I agree, up your sump flow rate, but I'd aim for a minimum of 10x, so about 1200 gph. I'll bet your skimmer doesnt perform very efficiently either...
A few things that pop out to me: - Running GFO in a reactor can help bring those phosphates down to 0. - Why are you only running a return pump...
Just because you arent seeing phosphates show up in the test kit, doesnt mean it's not there. It's being consumed by the cyano as fast as it's being...
Yes, my skimmer has overflowed, but this is usually due to my ignorance while doing maintenance on the tank... My skimmer is in-sump though, so...
I was going to start a thread on my thoughts about ich, but it seems you have beaten me to it, CG. I'm always reading emergency threads on this...
