    How many times have you flooded your room?

    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.

    PH probes

    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.

    Calcium and Alkalinity issues

    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...

    August Meeting-Thank you!

    http://www.reefgeek.com/lighting/T5_Fluorescent/Bulbs/54_Watt/ 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.

    Water Chemistry

    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.
