I have this sneaky suspicion you're using tap water? Forgive me if you're not, but if you are, you simply can not expect your algae problem to...
Banggai cardinals are nice. A percula clown is nice too. Mushrooms, zoas, green star polyps. Add everything nice and slowly, though. With...
Nothing for me.
Thanks for the input. I don't store the RO/DI water. It comes straight off the unit into the sump only when needed as dictated by the float valve...
Nice work, Orion!! :)
Maybe I can clear up some confusion. The float valve is a device that makes water stop flowing at THAT device. The ASOV (4 port rectangular device)...
Try plugging that lighting fixture into a GFI in your kitchen or bathroom and see if it causes the receptacle to trip. If so, you probably have a...
Increasing to 20 Amps is probably not necessary. If you were at the upper end of amperage draw approaching 15, that would not be a variable which...
Hey, BM. I'm pretty sure that's the one I used today. The guy at the LFS said I was welcome to come in and use it, as he didn't know how to operate...
Thanks, amcarrig. I went to the LFS and used their TDS meter today. My RO/DI is at 0 as I suspected, and as promised by airwaterice.com. A...
I've used a Simpson Analog Model 260, and my Fluke T5. I place a probe in the water, and one to ground. I've also tried a cheap $5 probe. None...
Hey gras. You can get the dKH from meg/L by multiplying by 2.8. The table Salifert gives to derive the meg/L is the first step. For you, what...
Wow!! That's funny. You really had me going there. After the 4th sentence or so, I'm asking myself, "Is this Shehan? Has he read ANYTHING I've...
I'm using the mag. supplement from Bulk Reef. It's half mag. sulfate (epsom salts) and half mag. chloride.
2 400's would be something!! I'd probably move to 2 250's first, though. Yes, Luna. I know what you've got! I know also that Casey has 2 250's...
Hey Bogie. Thanks. But no, I had an Aquactinics 5 bulb T5 fixture on the 55. I switched to MHs after the swap.
Thanks so much!! I've not yet seen any real coralline growth. I have two round masses on my glass in the back, and a few more on the plastic...
Casey--my AC runs 24/7. I keep my place at 70F. It sounds chilly, but I'm in FL where 95% humidity and 95 degrees F are the norm. It's refreshing...
I did not. I was unaware there was a seal to be checked. Would this be the rubber O ring (or pair of O rings) atop the membrane cartridge? Do...
I'll read it, thank you. :)
