always nice to see representation from the south jersey/phila metro contingent matt - i'm in moorestown. it's also nice to find someone else sharing space at the end of the alphabet - as a fellow "z" name I've learned over the years that there are a relatively small number of us.... I have some...

As George suggested, I had the regulator tested and it was shot. lesson #1: you MUST fully back out the adjustment screw/knob (dropping PSI to 0 so the know/screw is lose - all pressure is off the spring in the regulator) before switching the bottles in or out. Looks like I skipped this...

thanks george (have the helped you with scuba equipment?) - hopefully it can wait for the next state holiday since they tend to not be open "after-work" hours

can I get the regulator pressure tested? - maybe at south jersey welding supply -- the place that I got the bottle exchanged?

I looked back at my notes and I was actually at closer to 15-20 per minute - about every 2-3 seconds) but that wouldn't indicate a leak, right? if there's a leak I would assume it would be somewhere before the bubble counter so more CO2 is escaping into the atmosphere before it gets into the...

I'm new to CA reactors about 3 months ago I picked up a used MTC mini cal. It had a base line regulator and solenoid with it. pH controller is a milwaukee. Not sure how much came in the CO2 bottle but it lasted about 3 months with about 45-55 bubbles/ minute. I monitored the bottle levels but...

Giving another shot...

YGPM I'll text you tomorrow

Ok. Thanks. Final order was placed for my heatsinks and last few odds & ends.

I'm getting started with SPS so I would gladly accept anything. Issue at the moment is my lighting is somewhat insufficient. I'm building an LED fixture but I'm still a few weeks out in getting it up and running (it's part led build, part new hood as well) so is live any new SPS to try but if...

I have a bunch of branching green hammer (branches) that I'm looking to clear off the frag rack. I had a large colony that broke up (sadly) and I spread it around my tank but what's left is monopolizing my lil' frag rack. They're basically up for grabs but I have a pretty limited collection so...

Wow. That's a lot of drivers. Where do you keep them. I have 80* optics for all blues n whites. No need for the reds/greens etc. I also have about 24 40* & 24 60* that came with one of the abandoned builds I bought. I thought I may use some on the edges around my rock structure to hit the sand...

I've been acquiring stuff slowly George. I have just about everything. Drivers are meanwell 60-48Ps. I have 4. May only use 3 though. With the Ps maybe I'll be able to add a reef angel next :). I had Ds I picked up cheap and then swaped for the Ps and one of the rapid PVM controllers. LEDs are...

This is my plan for an LED rig using 64 LEDs (plus 4 moonlights) - on [2] 9"x12" heatsinks - well actually 4 9"x6" heatsinks arranged in 2 pairs coupled together (allowing for the center brace to not impact the lights) so 34 a side. Right now that is looking like this: I had some trouble...

I was thinking my GFO may have played into it but I tested the output and po3 was 0. To me that meant it was doing its job. I'm gonna change it tonight anyway and adopt your schedule of 1x a month

Thanks Dan. That would be awesome. How's the Staghorn doing? I think some of mine is still alive. The RTN stopped so we'll see but hopefully the piece you have is doing well - I may ask for done if that too if it takes off under you LEDs.

traded: cyano problem for high phosphates an update of sorts... I used the chemiclean last Tuesday or Wednesday (I think 8/7-8) so it's been about 11 days. The cyano is completely eviscerated. It's actually quite nice seeing the sand this clean. As many might have expected, when I was testing...

I guess I didn't expect the chemiclean to solve the underlying issue. I've been trying many of the remedies suggested here for months. I actually had a HA outbreak that got pretty bad. There was a trace of cyano before that but as the HA got worse so did the cyano. Many of the suggested remedies...

Lights out sorta can't work for me. I suppose I could cover the tank with some tarps but my tanks in an all glass sunroom do I guess I hope your right. I regret the sand bed but short of moving if I want a tank in the house that's where it has to go.

I have an ongoing cyano issue that I attribute to excess phosphate. I'm thinking food may be the culprit put I'm not sure. I'm also a little behind on my GFO and GAC change schedule. I'm in the process of building an LED rig and I know my bulbs are old but given the LEDs coming I don't want buy...
