FWIW, DKH and PH measurements in RODI water can be discarded. With hobby grade test kits, it is almost impossible to get accurate results in RODI water as there are not enough ions in the water to allow the tests to work with any accuracy. This is especially true of PH.

mmmmm, me thinks some sucking up will move you up in the drink and food lines .. ;D

Carbons differ highly in quality and ability to absorb. Though many will disagree on how long a certain brand of carbon will last, all will agree it depends on bio load. Carbon absorbtion drops off quickly in the beginning, then levels out before it stops absorbing. 2 weeks - up to a month is...

Hey George, I used to live in Turnersville and now over in Paulsboro, so only 15 minutes away. Your welcome to stop over here anytime if there is something I can help with.

We can still host it - your choice.

On some type MH Bulbs, the glass shield is a UV Shield. Without it, you would burn the corals.

If you come on down to Paulsboro, you are welcome to it. I throw away a ton every 2 weeks (It grows like mad in my sump)

I have no complaints at all with the new MVC. I live right near the South Jersey Regional Center (in Deptford). I bought a used truck 3 weeks ago and went in for new title, registration and plates, and was in and out the door in 8 minutes total. There were lots of lines, but lots of employees...

Looking up you account, I can see why you didn't get a card. There is no address information for you. Some how the membership information didn't make it into the files. Take a minute and fill out the form here: http://www.njreefers.org/membership.rtf When completed, email it to...

Dan, yours went out with this batch. It is listed in the membership card thread. http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=14216.0

Its normal, some salt mixes are better than other as far as residual. The problem is worse if you are the type that puts the salt in first, instead of the water.

Try going here and looking at the 2 part kits. It doesn't get any cheaper or easier than this. http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/Two-Part-Kits/c52/index.html

Magnesium levels drop directly proportional to the CA usage in your system. I forget the actual ratio, but generally when at the your targeted levels and to maintain those levels, for every gallon of CA you add, you will be adding 20oz of magnesium.

Pete and I can do the South Meeting in Paulsboro, NJ, but it has to be outside, we have a very small house. We camp in August every weekend, so the ONLY date open we can do it is August 22, 2009

Let make sure we are all talking on the same page. DKH is just a different measurement index of Alkalinity. So its is either 7-11 DKH or 2.5 to 3.5 meg/l or 125 to 196 PPM. These are all measurement scales for the same alkalinity.

I don't think any disaster is immenient, I have noticed the bow about 2 months ago, and the lip has only moved 1/32" since them. The stand doesn't have any left to right movement or shaking, so I don't belive pancaking will be a problem, but by the same token, I can't let it go too long. I want...

Well I found 2 positives if I go the 120 upgrade route (assuming I can even find a tank I can afford) - I had the forethought to run a 2inch drain pipe from under the stand down to the basement sump. So assuming a 120 uses 2 corner overflows, I can tie them into the existing line with a T - so...

How about a "Friend of Bill W" (lets see who gets this reference..
