There's been much talk of pH. What is pH? Depending on who you ask you'll get a different answer but they all pretty much agree. :) Some may be easier to understand so I clipped a few sources: The Simple Definition pH is a logarithmic measure of hydrogen ion concentration, originally defined by...

Here's a commentary so the AVERAGE reader can understand what just took place (sometimes in no particular order of events, due to the nature of the posts). In Boomer's first post in this thread he objected to my use of "no CO2" in the sentense and said "For each eq of HCO3- you add 1 eq of Alk...

How about an update sinkingbeach? Are you still in need of anything or is everything under control now? How is the tank doing? Carlo

If it makes no sense, then why did you bring it up? What you posted didn't make sense at all. I don't have him on a wild goose chase. You're stating things as fact but they are completely wrong and not even applicable to the situation. What you might have meant and what you posted are two...

Well that's fine. None of us know anything. This was my point with commenting what Randy would say in different situations. You were basing it on your own opinion or understanding and calling things a typo or error. He very well might have meant "may" when he writes it as such. He might not...

No Boomer, that is not what I said. I've basically said I have to take what Walt says with a grain of salt because much of what I've seen him say is off from other data on the same matter. Often by quite a bit. I've also said I take his info and research it. He is surely a wonderful resource to...

Thanks Cris, Very much appreciated. Carlo

Really nice pieces! Carlo

Just an observation and something you will want to "fix" before you fill it back up with water or during your next water change. It appears your returns are solid PVC that go down to where your water line is in the pic 1/2 down. You need a small hole in each one up at the top just under your...

That sure is a sweet looking tank. KENT should make him their "poster child". Very nice tidy equipment setup room. I wish mine was 1/2 that tidy! Carlo

It's a tough fish to identify correctly. Angels in particular change so much from the juvenile stage that they can be especially hard. I got this fish from a fellow reefer, Billy98 a few months back. Carlo

I too have been able to keep Peppermints, Blood Reds, Cleaners and Sexy shrimps together in the past. Lost them in the tank electrocution around Easter. :( I now have all these same shrimp in the tank minus the Sexy shrimp but I'm looking for a few to add. I have also heard of many people...

Yea, could you imagine. "Went fishing today, lookie what I caught!" ;D Carlo

Same answer as Matt.

The pics I found online leaved a lot to be desired for the Chrysurus Angel but this is one of the better ones I just found: http://www.justrarefish.com/html/chrysurus_angel_fish.html He're a picture of my Chrysurus Angel Carlo

Re: 2008 Meeting Schedule With the larger and larger size turnouts the meetings get maybe the club itself could be on the lookout for a largish tarp type thing that could be used for some meetings. This could be ideal for the non-frigid months and take some of the burden off the smaller house...

I hope the hole derailment of the thread didn't get you confused on something. Back on the very first page it was recommended to just use normal baking soda since your pH is at 8.4. The baking soda will typically lower your pH at the time of it's addition. The BAKED baking soda as you have now...

It's already WAY BEYOND personal.

You then go into arguing with me about temps that corals bleach at. You quote stuff and tear it apart. I don't bight because it wasn't something I said. You quoted directly from Walt's post I cut & pasted where you wanted proof of what he said. Besides being funny in itself that to me also meant...

Haven't contradicted anything almighty Boomer. Get over yourself man. Other people know and understand things too you know. OK Smart guy please explain how your Dick & Jane formula pH = Alk x CO2 fits the example you gave: My calculator says pH = 1.025 not pH = 8.3 pH = 8.3 Alk = 2.5 meq/ l...
