SOLD!

1/2 inch can work....just make sure there's no high spots on the top of the dimensional wood. If there is, plane or sand them down.

Agree with @saltkreep88 ....you'll be just fine. There actually is no need for that off-centered brace. As far as the top is concerned, my preference is to top with 3/4 plywood. My reasoning is that dimensional lumber has slight lumps, bumps and twists, so that it potentially is not...

Mark, don't worry about alk and its impact on pH. Just maintain alk and your pH will be controlled by the CO2 in your tank.

PM'd you back.

Yes it is

Oh wow....sorry Jose. I'd still stick it in the corner of the tank and hope and pray there was a pinch of live tissue still on it.

I have four MP's...and I like them, but they are costly. I like two things: 1) They are not as bulky as conventional powerheads. 2) AC wiring is outside the tank. With that said, I very recently purchased a Jebao PP 15 for 70 bucks, and holy carp, does that thing push water. I think it...

Darn autocorrect.....I fixed it Sunny. Does your phone autocorrect powerhead?

I don't know fish problems....but I will say that that looks bad. Could it have stuck it's mouth in a powerhead?

What gets me is that this is a knock-off of the HM Digital TDS meter....that's only a couple bucks more......and this Mudder is known to be inaccurate and unreliable. Mark, I'd try cleaning it in vinegar over night and then rinsing it well. Then, once you put in in the solution you wish to...

I believe pyramid butterfly.

Looking great Joe!

One more thing, if you make large batches (that aren't measured out per batch of 2 1/4 cups baking soda), once baked, the volume has been reduced, and you now only need 2 cups of the baked baking soda (sodium carbonate aka, soda ash) per one gallon of RO/DI.

James, first off I'd suggest actually baking the baking soda at 350 degrees for one hour. The increased temperature assures all the bicarbonate will be converted to carbonate. And one hour isn't written in stone either....if it goes a little long, it can't hurt it. One batch I baked I...

Wow! My Mom typically bought me underwear and socks. :ambivalence: You're Mom got it right! :dance: Merry Christmas. Now DIY that two part......HERE's a good start.

I agree with @saltkreep88 .....Jagers are the best. Their glass is twice as thick as other glass heaters. The only thing I don't like is how long they are. And always have backups ready to go. Herb I have extras to hold you over the holidays if you need them.

@art13 , I'm not sure what you do to maintain alk and calc, but by "fixing" your salinity, you also raised up you alk, calc and mag numbers. That is a possibility of why you saw improvement. I don't think it was the salinity alone.

I fully agree that 1.o22 isn't going to kill corals. However, I am rather adamant that calibration solution should be used to calibrate your refractometer. Otherwise, I suggest going back and using a swing-arm hydrometer to measure salinity....about equal to a refractometer calibrated with...

Woo hoo! :dance:
