Actually it was our infeed line that was getting clogged (aqualifter). The feed was in our frag tank and was clogging with algae. D'oh. We didn't run a lot of flow through it. We actually didn't see any crazy increase in our Mg numbers at the end of the experiment. We tend to dose a lot of Mg...

We ran a sulfer denitrator for a while. You need to run the flow through it pretty slowly and as a result ours kept clogging so I finally gave up on it. I suppose that you could do it so that it didn't clog, but I gave up before I got that far. We used a low end dual chamber Ca reactor and put...

Very interesting. You could use a soloniod valve to stop the back siphon. Or you could run it through the same water vessel (out and back to the sump, for example, rather than the tank). I think I could run to our freezer with ours too. You could try 2 or 3 aqualifters in sequence to see if that...

Happy Birthday, Ed! Hope it is a GREAT day!! Make IceCap buy you lunch ;D

Very cool! Looking forward to a whole new Tale of the Tank thread!

Way to pay it forward and keep it well fed.

This is a female Lubbocks.

I ran a wet/dry when I first setup my 120 (would be willing to sell it if you've got your heart set on one). I soon traded that out for just a sump (currently a rubbermaid tub, but any box of water will due). I ran an ETSS skimmer for a while and didn't really find it easy to use. I traded that...

I know nothing of them other than the "myth" (we'll call it a myth for now) that you can't do it that way... maintenance blah blah work blah blah nitrates blah blah. Enlighten us. What does it do? How does it work? Why is it maintenance intensive (or is it?)? What do you like about it?

Those are some fat fish!

We don't mind the ol' folks 'round here! ;D

A big NJRC welcome to the Infamous Paul B! :) Your ears must have been ringing!

I just can't picture a flat worm sneaking up on a pod! I'll just put that in my "learn something new every day" pile. Very interesting.

Flatworms (red bugs are a completely different evil) can be tough to eradicate. Starvation helps, reduced lighting helps a lot. Siphon as many out as possible and then when you're ready use as big a dose as you can stand of either of the two popular medications. Blow off the rocks, siphon what...

Love it, Wendy! What beach did you take Max to? I wonder if I could take Zenni to the beach like that... I worry that she'd run off on me though! The picture of Max wrapped around Alex's neck is so cute. I had a cat once who slept like that on me.

Medford is actually South, but great to know that we have folks interested in hosting! Rod, we have a "maybe" for the June meeting, but if the "maybe" ends up a "no" we'll gladly take you up on it!

Sweet! When's it get here?!

Happy Memorial Day. Thank you to all who have served and sacrificed for our great country. We appreciate your service & dedication to our Freedom.

Did you get a brand new 180 for your birthday?! ;D

YIKES! Happy Belated Birthday, Brian! I can't believe things are so crazy around here and I'm sorry that we missed such an important day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
