    Neptute Conroler Owners

    Just as an side here to be fair to Aquacontroller hardware (and speaking from having and in house lab with guys that play with PH all day)..... PH probes that are sold to the Aquarium community generally are low end single joined sealed units. They tend not to last very long as the internal...

    water test kits

    Lamotte are nice kits, I just hate that you have to do conversions. (No reason that can't put a chart in there). Elos (now carried by Marin Depot) has a very good MG and Phosphate test kits.

    TDS reference solution

    Does anyone has an 342 TDS NaCl reference solution for calibrating a TDS meter. I want to adjust my DM-1, its reading a bit low. I haven't found any locally, and I would rather not wait until the Group Buy is in.

    I will bring 2 or 3 frags of Billy's original POM POM Zenia to raffle off. It is growing like mad in my tank. I don't see an RSVP link for this event?

    Polling Aquacontroller 3 Pro for log data

    The AC series has a telnet server in it, so you can have a service issue a telnet command and get the status, capture the display and then parse it. You can also dump the log, but again then you would have to parse it yourself. If you are only doing status, then just telnet it, if you want to do...

    Coraline disappeared

    Strangest thing I have every seen in the 15 years I have been doing salt water tanks.... My 90 gallon tank back was covered with coraline and I have never had an issue growing it everywhere. Have to scrape from the sides all the time. I woke up this morning and over 75% of the coraline on the...

    Dropped packets - AC3Pro

    I totally agree with Sam here, as Cisco equipment in general is terrible about Auto and Duplex. For gigggles, just use a crossover cable and connect from your computer to the AC3 Pro and try the ping and see what you get. When in doubt, lock in a 10mb, 1/2 duplex. IOS version 12.2/12.3 are...

    Basement Fish Room Plans

    If my bar was in my basement with my fish stuff, I would never leave the house. Sure would make water changes a little interesting. Though the thought of cleaning the skimmer cup in the bar sink makes for tasty discussions.

    Fish Only Tank

    I disagree here, FO or FOWLR is what I did for almost 12+ years. A cannister is a perfect solution, but some are better than others when it comes to cleaning. We all now know that keeping the sponges clean is important, but not as critical as reef because of Nitrates buildup. (Fish can tolerate...

    Favorite Controller...

    If you make a cable from Cat5 cable, you can get some distance. Before I got the basement project finished, I have a cable over 50' running down the stairs temporarily and it had no poblems.

    February meeting

    I can only host South Jersey if it warm weather, my house is way too small for more than about 20, but in warm weather with a tent outside then its a posibility. (Paulsboro, NJ)

    How often do you change your filter sock.

    Just keep in mind you might want to post a pic, or point them to mine, as since they are NYLON and not felt, they will look quite different from what people see in the store.

    flood

    Not that this helps now, but a simple suggesstion can fix this. On any line that has a valve where I have had to "tune" it. I have another valve AFTER it. So when I change the valves to dump water for my water changes, I am hitting the 2nd valve which is just ON/OFF, not the first valve that is...

    How often do you change your filter sock.

    Here is a pic that shows how I do it. Very very simple, just a bumgie cord. And since I am using the 7 inch ring size, there is more open surface area. This is a 150 Micron Nylon Sock. It has probably been washed 20 times so far. Change around every 4 days. Take about 20 seconds to change it.

    How often do you change your filter sock.

    I have a lab in my office as Civil Engineers and we get socks all the time of the different types... The answer depends on the TYPE of filter sock (felt vs microfiber vs nylon) and the Micron rating of the sock. Felt is the cheapest and usally found at 100 or 200 Micron, and washable about 4...
