    Algae problems but PO4 is .03?

    Just to add to this. I don't know if the OP normally runs filter socks but I put a sock on my drain pipe before blasting my rocks before every WC in an attempt to catch the detritus.

    CO2 Scrubber

    My windows have been closed for the past week or so. I have not noticed any change in the life of the media. I'm assuming the media does not have to "work" when the windows are open? Some rough math tells me a bucket will last me about 43 weeks. I'll estimate that costs me $100/year. Rob...

    CO2 Scrubber

    Wayfair sent me another bucket of soda lime, since the initial bucket was expired. I haven't opened the new since the old seems fine. I'm running through a small Gatorade bottle every seven days so far. How long will the bucket last? I don't know yet, I'll have to do some maths...

    Walking dead

    I have watched seasons one and two on Netflix. Then, my PS3 died and it's in the shop. As soon as I put it in the shop, season three came on Netflix:( Sooo, I noticed Classklown90's spoiler alert thread, and I'm trying really hard to not open it.

    CO2 Scrubber

    From the minimal research I did, I do not think there is a way to recharge it... If anyone knows a way, I'm all ears. I should have mentioned that while I was looking at the bucket today, I noticed an expiry date of Sept 2013. I'm not sure if that means anything? I emailed wayfair, I'll post...

    CO2 Scrubber

    One week of CO2 scrubbing I installed the scrubber last Saturday, so it's been going for a week. My pH has improved. Lows of 7.9ish to highs of almost 8.3. Problem is that last night I noticed some of pellets had turned purple. The color change indicates that the media is exhausted(it's a...

    CO2 Scrubber

    Ideally, I would have loved to run the airline outside, but it is not an option in my apartment. I'm hoping I don't run through the soda lime too fast. I read a bunch of reviews and it was 50/50. Some people claim the bucket I bought lasts well over a year, others run through it quickly...I've...

    CO2 Scrubber

    I've been battling low pH in my tank forever. I do not like the idea of dosing buffers or using any other chemical to raise pH. I came across a thread in another forum and decided to give it a shot. This is a typical week of my pH before I installed the scrubber. Notice the 24th to the 26th...

    What PO4 test kit?

    I'm kicking around the idea of carbon dosing but I don't have a phosphate test kit. What is a reliable kit? Is one even needed?
