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.
If he was to kill off the Bacteria with the treatment, it should re-seed from the existing rock.
I would do some extensive researching on the pool algaecides before implementing. Also, chances are all pool algaecide are not created equal.
Please post your findings.
Sonny sure looks like he means business with that shank. Or maybe he's just picking the egg whites from breakfast from his beak.
Beautiful birds....thanks for sharing.
I've taken the reactor off line to see if there will be any changes in the nitrates. I'll post the results should anything change. Two days ago I was at 2.5 - 1.5. We'll see what happens.
I'm by no means advocating the method I'm using the media. So if anyone is going to try it I would highly suggest doing your homework. I was merely posting what I did and the results, again anecdotal.
Carlo - wouldn't I be able to smell the sulfur if the reactor was adding it to the tank...
I got the Carib Sea stuff from Premium Aquatics. I don't see it being offered their anymore. They do have the stuff from Midwest though that would do the job.
I'm sure your probably right with what your saying Carlo but as of right now, I have no nuisance algae, only cyno that I've had for longer than I've been running the sulfur, and its receding . As I've post above, my observations are purely anecdotal and until such time the nitrates rise, or...
normal phosban flow rate. 20 - 25± gal/hr.
Above the water line.
Straight from a MJ400 through standard braid reinforced clear tubing w/TLF mini ball valve to the triple inline phosban reactors.
Like I posted before my results are purely anecdotal. But there is no denying the dramatic...
I'm using sort of one until I get a DIY made. I have a phosban reactor filled 2/3 with sulfur beads, 1/3 argonite. That reactor is first inline with a phosban reactor filled with carbon then another filled with phosban. I have enough flow going through the reactors that the phosban is lightly...
Looks like Al should have done a fragging demo at the June meeting. Thanks for the info. I have a bunch of shrooms to remove soon so it will come in handy. What do you think is the best way to kill off the piece's of stalk that remain? I would imagine they would grow back into more shrooms...
Phyl, I lost all but a little frag of the microthalma. It's growing quite well now. Maybe I'll be able to break off a branch for you at the August meeting. HTH
I just got a call from Rachael at Dr. Macs. Someone had called about the rock pricing and she unfortunately gave out some incorrect information. There will not be any additional discount over their current sale pricing advertised on the web site. This sale will be running through our visit on...
I don't have any calibration fluid but I usually just check the ro/di. I'm sure someone will explain why that's wrong but if that is zero I feel comfortable it's pretty close.
