I use to use RC only and switched to IO. In the process, I was mixing the two....and not problems at all. I'm now all IO......because I like my alk low.

Congratulations Ed and Team Josh. I have to work on Sunday, so won't be at the park. Enjoy the day and especially the little guy!

I've had it for the first and last time at the Cranberry festival is South Jersey last year. It looks real good....crispy and delicious...and not bad the first couple bites. But turns out to be real greasy. Let's just say you're a well oiled machine when you get done eating that pile of...

Now I see! Very nice job Juan. I'm liking it.

Pretty cool. If you're a carnival kind of person you might have seen something similar with Butterfly Fries....where they use a drill to butterfly the potatoes.....Here's a video of that. Butterfly Fries Video

NICE! Love the DIY stuff, but I'm not fully seeing how it's going to work. The pH probe can't be submerged and the alk and calc hoses ideally should be in the water as well. And the temperature probe, it depends on the kind you have. If you have the type that looks similar to a pH...

If you keep the sodium carbonate in a tight container you should be fine. Sodium carbonate is hygroscopic and will form a couple different hydrates (and in the process "gain weight" by the presence of water.) I have a pool and buy the largest sodium carbonate container they sell (maybe 40 pr...

Not sure where you got that weight, but the correct weight of sodium carbonate is 375 grams per gallon of RO/DI water.

Yeah, I buy the big bag as Sam's....I think 13 pounds or so....and it must be a commodity because the price is different every time I go there....between 4.50 to 6.50 a bag. Just to clarify, if you were cooking up one batch, you would use 2 1/4 cups of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), and...

pH of 7.6 without treatment....you have virtually no CO2 in that water. I'd now run that RO directly through the DI, eliminating the bubble step. That should make water production easier.

By chance did you measure pH of the water pre and post bubbling. That would be a better indication of CO2 leaving the water. I'll continue to scratch my head why the TDS would drop after bubbling....but it's not from CO2. And congrats on a new and better well....that's the great news here...

Mark, I'm not sure why your TDS is dropping over time with bubbling. CO2 has an insignificant effect on TDS.....considerably less than 1 %. That is, you can't use TDS to measure CO2.

Here's my guess....then again, that might just be rock! :grin:

Wow! I always took you as a city person. Life in the south is different. I have a house 70 miles east of Charlotte. The head of engineering at our NC facility use to say that there are two speeds down there, slow and slower. You also better like NASCAR....that's what you find on...

I have the cable....but I have to dig around to find it....and I'm out until about 6PM with soccer.

I agree, very generous Juan

I too was caught by the Sunday meeting. Unfortunately I have to work on Sunday. Enjoy the meeting.

Are Pajama Cardinals known picky eaters? I've had a pair for about a month and a half and the only thing they eat are shrimp. I've tried flakes, pellets, frozen mixed, frozen black worms and nothing. However, mysis, either frozen or freeze dried, they eat. Tonight I tried shimp...

Juan, I feel your pain. When we upgraded to the current tank in 2007, we were up until 2 AM, and went to bed. When we woke, the tank looked like someone dumped a couple gallons of milk into it, and the better part of the corals were dead....and more than half the fish. Our guess, having...

I'm in good shape.....about 3 1/2 hours and now down to 80.9. Thanks again.
