I have always used the same SW from my LFS. The calcium isn't too scary, just never saw my Alk that high and I didn't dose that crazy. My other...
So I don't have that high of demand for calcium. Did weekly WCs and dosing calcium every 3-4 days. Alk was also not hard to stay on top of. Keep it...
Thanks. When I bought the tank, my friend told me his regiment of dosing. Every other day stuff. I thought that was silly. Dosed both and had a...
Still thinking about it Van. I think I can do it and it does not seem as "scary". Then again, none of my "great ideas" sound scary until I do them...
Could you please explain why to bring up slowly. Thanks.
So far, I'm happier cleaning my skimmer than replacing, or cleaning filters. I think I could live with cleaning the one I use to break the fall from...
Thanks Van. I could not visualize it before, but it all makes sense now. Man, that is so scary looking. I know it's braced, just gives me the...
Finish your fuge already!;) Cool fish and FS. Just waiting on mine to mature. My boss is harvesting some Grape and feather for me. My Ca and...
Well... took everything out I thought would be OK. Now it is just a sump room. Got the carpet out and put down the rubber mat. More like foam, but...
I got some of that interlocking rubber mat. Mainly for me to have some cushion. That pink board would be a good platform to insulate. I will also...
I thought about that too. My thing is that it is on bare floor. Great in the Summer, but not in the Winter. I guess there is no one way that is going...
In my closet, my 60g sump is on the floor on carpet. I am taking out all the carpet. I don't care if it is on the bare floor, but I want to insulate...
Why do you need that much flow??? Anything more than what your skimmer can process is just wasted energy. I was concerned about the same thing with...
Thanks for the input guys. I decided to go with a Herbie overflow setup. No noise, no bubbles. I'm going to do a separate write up of what I did when...
Won't be able to do till next week. Ordered a gate valve on line. $31. Well... it's better than $46 and a week and a half. I'm still waiting to get...
So I decided to do the Herbie overflow. Glad the stuff I did isn't really wasted. I can keep most of what I have and just buy extra to add on to. Got...
The tee sounds better. Odd though. I would just adjust it for a new level and call it good. I have talked to the guys at AquaC for a couple of...
So here is mine [IMG] [IMG] I tested tonight. PO4 < .25? NO3 zero PH 8.2 Ca 400 Alk 4.0 SG 1.025 Temp 77.2
Bubbles from falling are big. Micro bubbles are from the skimmer. My valve is only an inch and a half above the water and that annoys me. I just...
You might want to hold off until the 120 breaks in. I have one and I have zero bubbles from it. The directions say to put the level at the inside...
