DaveK, Thats exactly why I went with the "overkill" method. His tank wasn't healthy, it was obvious when I helped him break it down. He had been having problems for months. Deadfish, dead corals. And way more bacteria, algae and who knows what than I wanted in my tank. So I took the course of...

I had received about 200 lbs of rock from a tear down. This guy had such an algae problem I decided to completely clean the rock. First I laid the rock out in a sunny area for 3 weeks, rotated the rock every couple of days. Then, I bought a couple of trash cans, put the rock in and did a 10:1...

Same here.......

1. Use soda water, plain old soda water from the supermarket. Make sure it has nothing but water in it.The co2 in the soda water will drop the Ph. Put it in a little at a time. 1/2 cup at a time, wait half an hour, measure, repeat as needed. 2. 1st stop the kalk. let the tank consume the ca...

Howdy neighbor ........ I'm down on Hockamick ...... across from the baseball fields .....

I don't have that unit, but I do have one of their MH + PC retro kits. Happy with it except for the ballasts they use. I swapped them out with Icecaps. The PC ballasts were cheap and flimsy. Actually they were falling apart.

Mauro, see my post on the previous page.......

I haven't checked since the Ph rose lasnite, but I try and maintain cal at 430ppm and alk at 9-10dkh. Full canopy with 3ea. 175watt MH and 4ea. 96watt PC's with 3ea. 4 inch fans on the back and vents on the ends. BTW its a 125 long. All ATO runs through Kalk Stirrer. Even put the ATO on a...

Last house on final to McGuire AFB runway 6/24 from the north.... ;D ...... Cookstown

Ties with Rohm & Haas labs...... Same guys that have been testing the eggcrate for me........

Rich, do the airstone test if you have an airpump and stone. I tested a liter of tank water with an airstone indoors for one hour. Test Ph before and after. Then do the same test again (replacing the liter of tank water) but outdoors. The test indoors, the Ph dropped by .2 , outdoors it rose by...

I just purchased a spot ERV online for $299, gonna install it right over the canopy on the tank. Lastnite I installed a 1.5 in. hose from my skimmer through the attic to the eves of the house. Woke up this morning and my Ph is at 8.01. For the last week, the morning Ph has been ~7.8. Huge...

Right, Bayer spun off that division to Lanxess in '04......

I am pretty sure the sole manufacture and refiner of any iron/ferric oxides is Bayer AG. I may be mistaken.

After looking at the specs on that, I could install it in the fully ducted scenario. No HVAC required.

I don't have a furnace, its baseboard heat. House is sealed up tight. Fans in canopy and fans on sump. Going to run a 2 inch hose to the outside for the skimmer then going to figure out how I am going to circulate fresh air through the house.

You can send some of that Ph my way, I am battling LOW Ph, no matter how much kalk I add it will climb them plummet all in a matter of a few hours. Been hovering 7.8-7.9 the last two days. Ran a co2 test and its off the charts, so I am running a fresh air line outside to the skimmer to see if...

Well I was all set to come home and take a picture but the skin tag is gone. He is still not exhibiting any out of the ordinary behavior, breathing normally and is eating. In fact I was able to tease him with some food to get a better look at him. There is no sign of the tag at all. I will have...

I have had this guy for a while now, healthy, eating, all normal activity. Over the weekend I noticed on his right side about mid body, a milky blotch about 3-4 mm long and 2-3 wide. He was hanging out by my RBTA and figured maybe he got stung and it was slime. Then this morning the blotch had...

it all starts as powder as it is refined....... Spheres would be a better choice as they can assure even flow through the entire mass without causing unrestricted channels. This maximizes the contact with the media.
