Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Thanks for the insight guys.
I'll stick with the stirrer and dose via Apex controlled pump into sump.
So, if anyone has a kalk stirrer up for sale...
Otherwise I'll pick up the Avast 'Build your Own' option.
WTH was that? Someone should have either pointed it out or called an ambulance for me. Don't think I was drinking, but I'm probably wrong.
Shhh, obviously all the fish stuff need to be cleared from the back before we can start such a project.
IF anyone is available for...
Decided to go with a kalk stirrer (Avast) and peristalic pump.
Screw simplicity, my credit card burned way past that.
So do I make Kalk (in the avast) and have the dosing pump drip it directly into the sump?
This, controlled by Apex, is my preference. I can calculate my tank usage and dose...
The algae scrubber fix
As posted in Help - LED work & scrubber rebuild the algae scrubber that came with the tank had a number of non functioning LEDs and a few other concerns.
In not wanting to deal with another learning curve (LEDs) atm, I came up with another plan, which I share for your...
So, with an offer I couldn't refuse, followed by more offers I couldn't refuse, here's the team (so far)...
120g (vinegar bathing)
Jecod 6000 DC return with controller
12g Frag tank
3 Kessil a360w with Apex link
Coral Box D500 DC with controller
Custom 302 Aquatics sump (47g)...
Cool, thanks guys.
The ATO is going to win.
So I prep by mixing X amount of calcium carbonate (hydrated lime/pickling lime) in 5g.
Let sit for a day or two.
Skim off top layer.
Empty clear fluid into ATO.
Monitor
Adjust CaCl 'top up' concentration as needed.
Sound right?
Oh, and check...
Hey folks.
With new big tank and my general laziness I’m looking to dose as cheaply and with as little equipment and effort as possible.
Initial thoughts were a doser and ESV or the Seachem 2part then I came across a post from 2012 from some guy named Red Fish Blue Fish, which led me down the...
Wish I knew before Saturday :)
These things seem crazy priced (not from you, just in general) and honestly most of them look like ^&%$.
I may be considering a DIY build.
Are they the goosenecks or the rigid?
Hijacking my thread back :)
Title change as secured a few lights.
Looking for a Kessil A series controller.
Also any mounting options for 3 A360s (I'm not too hot on the goosenecks).
So, no help on the horizon, and don't want to get into a whole 'learn a new thing and spend lots of money' situation.
Research indicated I needed at least 20 watts of mixed red 660 and blue 420-440 LEDs, plus new fans which would ultimately lead to overspending, frustration, and overengineering...
