    Sadly that's not how it used to be here. Not sure what changed beyond volume of people.

    how to balance sg formula

    You would need to do a 40% water change at 1.020. If you used fresh water you would only need a 10% change. Here's the formula that I used: ((165g*.9*1.027)+(165*.1*1))/165 = 1.0243 ((165g*.6*1.027)+(165*.4*1.020))/165 = 1.0242 I plugged it into excel and changed parameters until I got the...

    Can't do this anymore

    Wendy, such a beautiful bird and so heartfelt a post. I cried with you. I know you're in terrible pain now, but I can only hope that the pain and tears are replaced by smiles as you remember the good times you had with so special a friend. I imagine that Hunter will be heartbroken for a while...

    Thinking about getting a tank again!!

    A 120 is a good size setup. I'd prefer the 2' depth front to back over the 18" dimension. We were happy with that until the 180 fell into our lap. I think you could be happy with 120 for a long time! Keep your eye out for a used 120 setup. They roll by all the time. Lighting is taken care of and...

    Kati Ani vs RO/DI

    If your tap water has a low hardness reading then you're a good candidate for using Kati-Ani. Otherwise you'll burn through the resin and need to recharge more often. I think most people use RO/DI because it is easy, cheap and "disposable". The better solution is definitely kati-ani if it is in...

    Some shots of my tank

    They're nice pictures. I think if you back up a little bit so that you are in the focal range of the lens you're using you might get a sharper photo though. Keep practicing until you find the sweet spot.

    FAMA Magazine Fading Fast

    Calfo's C journal will be at the show. I don't know much more than that though. All of the magazines are struggling to attract advertisers. As the economy recovers, hopefully the ad sales ad magazines will as well!

    starting a Inet Business

    I started my business "boot strap" with money from my pocket. It was me and a partner who started and ran the business for 10 years. At about that time he decided he wanted to do something else when he grew up. Luckily the "buy out" was very low, but more because we were good friends than...
