Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Knock on wood, or should I say concrete- not yet.
Between Float valves, a water bug water alarm tied into an Aquacontroller. Come close, had a crack in the line to the water pump, but the water bug alarm triggered the AquaController to turn off the pump, so it was very little watter.
I am not aware of any vendor requiring that - BUT if that is an issue, they can verify it with me either via email (phil@gnsgroup.com) or I can send a verification to a vendor for you.
Because the Officers and lots of volunteers are completely consumed with setting up the badges and packets for MACNA attendees, I will be unable to print membership cards until after MACNA. (The badge printer is totally tied up for now)
If your membership is about to expire, fear not, you won't...
If you are at a balanced stage, the total consumption will change (more corals equls more calcium), but the consumption rate willbe the same for both CA and ALK. If they are going down at different rates, then the tank we never reall balanced to begin with.
420 CA x 9 DKH
440 CA x 10 DKH
460 CA...
Lab Grade means that it can be run under pressure (The tip can be mounted in a high pressure return). Lab Grades tend to read/stablize faster, but are not necessarilty more accurate.
I have used both at home and in our labs in my office and for the most part the readings are the same.
WHat you are missing is the fact the as DKH increases, calcium decreases. And conversely when you increase calcium DKH is depleted.
So the first step is to get the 2 levels where you want them with individual 2 part solutions, then once they are at that level you must add BOTH CA and DKH of the...

I like reefgeek because every bulb has a detailed description and a color wavelength chart so you see where the bulb is in the color spectrum.
For those that asked what bulbs were in my T5 unit, I found my cheat sheet for them.

Well the Meeting jinx as started - no, its not a tank problem, but my Beer Dispenser Tap system head broke right off...
Fear not - there will still be Yuengling - just not from the Keg. I am sure we can still suck down some bottles.
Yes it was a great one.
We a great outdoor party at the private campgrounds we camp in up in Gibson PA (near Binghamton, NY). It was Peter and I and 275 of our closest camping friends. Add 2 kegs of Yuengling, a keg of Birch beer, 300 hotdogs, 75 lbs of meatballs, and endless other knosh...
Once you mix salt, then readings become accurate - its just if you are trying to test for something in RODI water with nothing in it, the tests are inaccruate. Only TDS - which should be "zero" is accurate with hobby grade kits.
