i have 3gs and its fast most of the time except for when im in crowded areas on campus. i assume that its just a lot of ppl using 3g at the same time
do you use moonlights? mine only closes to about 1/4 the way out for a few hours in the moonlights... but by morning its in the whole way
Ive tried my hand at multiple favias before... but my tank is a favia graveyard right now lol :( In the past my frags always seem to do good,...
7.9 isnt too bad. we keep it at that in the 500 gallon here at penn state. typically your pH fluctuates between day and night. its because of the...
If you raise mag to 1500 then Calcium can be held at higher levels... Might help but the algae in sump definatly is easier
"ill procrastinate later!" and my favorite: "it is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education"
i got it. since Ca can replace the H+ in the H2CO3 molecule, an increase in calcium will cause the dKh to have a more profound effect on the...
Success lol (i hope) So we have pH = -log(Ka) - log([HA]/[A-]) we have the log of ka which is pKh minus the log of the acid concentration over the...
does your alkalinity test give a value for dKh or does it give you concentration CO3? and what is the exact value you are getting?
well i got distracted on campus and got home a little later than planned... neways, im working on this now so hopefully i can turn up an answer!!!
I have class until 1... Once I get home I will pull out some old equations I derived for buffering compacity and pH from a few years ago. In the mean...
Have you ever observed your pH at higher temperatures like 80-82? PV=nRT --> n=PV/RT since pressure, volume, and R (.0821) are all constant,...
Quite possible... I did a google search real quick. I took it out just imcase, but are they good bad or indifferent?
this is a debatable topic... each time you do a change you will be taking out less and less of the old salt and more and more of the new salt:...
its up to you. both methods require time and multiple water changes to fix
make sure you monitor your calcium levels while doing this though
11 is a perfect dKh... it will take a few water changes over a few days to make the dKh stay stable at 11 however
yes, two CO3 from above rxn dissociate an Oxygen each to make O2 and CO2 in the presence of a (base)buffer. the O2 evaporates into your house if your...
well now that i think about it a second time, the vinegar is what makes the solution slowly lower the dkh so id go with 5 to 10 ml then dilute to at...
this can be adjusted in more ways than one. do you have your tank parameters and ill see what i can do to fine tune your pK?
