You could raise it nice and slowly by using saltwater for your ATO. Just monitor SG until you are where you want to be. Slow and steady wins the race.

Edwin has said it....this is just the initial dose to adjust from 400 to 420....which is easiest to do manually. I personally have no problem with 400. But if you do want to adjust up to 420, I'd suggest dosing half that volume, and then testing. I've found these calculators to be...

Glad to see you're back in the game Ed. Looking good. Keep the pictures coming. Show us what the tank looks like.

They are in Allentown, PA....very close....quick shipment.

Jim, I am shocked and saddened to see this, but can also fully understand. You are among a few whos advice and posts I would never question. Please stay connected, and when you are ready to get back in, I'm there for you with whatever I have in the tank. The one coral I know I have from...

First off, regardless of what room you put your tank in, it will raise humidity in the entire house. The worst room for me is the furthest from the tank....upstairs north-side bedroom....the coldest room in the house. I too have a piano in the room next to the tank. I'll look when our...

If you have a probe set up properly with GFI or GFCI, it will do the trick. But I'm not a big proponent of GFI around our tanks as well. They trip when you least expect it....when you are away....and now your tank is not running at all....no heat or flow....dead tank! I'm a "have to...

First off, I won't get a grounding probe....that only protects you and not your fish and tank. The tingle tells you that you have a problem. You wouldn't feel that if you had a grounding probe and the fish would just fry. Start systematically unplugging stuff that is in you...

Congratulations on the potential new house. This is usually a good reason to upgrade. :grin:

The clamps come in 2". How often do you have to do maintenance? If it's infrequent, I'd go with the clamps.

Pete, I can't tell the size of the UV, but I'd consider two larger conduit clamps with SS screws.....secure it to the back or top of wherever it is.

Thanks Krista....it's an endless work in progress.

Jim, sorry for the loss on the biocube. :( I wish I could figure out your success on Copperbands. I've tried two, and refuse to kill another fish. What is odd is that I have a cousin....long nose butterfly...and he's doing great.....actually a pig...eats everything.

Out with the Old, In with the New Since going over to biopellets, the refugium is no longer needed. In fact, the Cheato that was there disappeared within a month, and the hair algae, that was longer then Fabio's hair, has almost completely disappeared as well. So the thought is to switch...

78 here. I have to run the AC in the fish room during the summer to keep the temp at 78.

No, he doesn't! :grin:

Today was a geat day to tinker. I purchase a used Eheim Everyday Feeder a while back and didn't realize it was missing the mounting bracket until I got home. Well today I made that bracket for the feeder, modelled off of the original bracket. Half inch plexi screwed together with...

Here's another try at a FTS

I'm running a JNS Alpha 2 that comes with the pump attached. As far as I can tell, it can only be run submerged in the sump. Here it is when I first started with half a cup of pellets.

Wow Jim, that is truly running the BP exit port to the skimmer take-up. I only got mine close....maybe 1 1/2 to 2 inches away....the clear tube in the upper right of the picture:
