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.
I have been reading a lot on RC about peoples experience with BP. A good many people have not had good experience with them. It has gotten me a bit nervous about starting them.
I am relatively sure that many people that are having issues are because they are starting out with too much media...
It says for 200 gallons use 1.56 cups or 25 tbsp of the HC GFO. I only guessed at how much I poured in the container. After looking at it there seems to be less that 2 cups. I guess I will take it out and measure it exactly. I did another phosphate reading and it dropped another couple points to...
Thank you for the heads up and suggestions.
I do believe I am running the correct amount. It is a 200 gallon system. I am using about 2 cups of the HC GFO. The BRS website says start out with 1 tbsp per 4 gallons of water. 16 tbsp per cup = 64 gallons. 2 cups = 128 gallons. Although this is HC...
A while back I bought some high capacity GFO from BRS on one of our group buys. I was using it in one of my tanks and didn't really monitor how it was working. I didn't measure the difference before using GFO and after its use. Mostly because I had a regular test kit and hate using them.
Then...
Anyone out there that can estimate HVAC systems. I am bidding a 22,000 sq ft building for a heating and cooling upgrade. It is a design build project I need help with.
Congratulations. Shrimp need to be raised in a kriesel after capture. A kreisel is a sort of tumbler for the larvae. They also will have special diet requirements. They won't just live if you put them in a sump or frag tank. There is a lot of info and people on this site that can help you...
Does sci fi count as horror? If it does I would like to add the first Alien movie to the list. The shining is a great movie. The Thing (remake) was also a good one. There were so many great movies when you are younger. Movies have so much more impact at those ages.
I do believe you need to start from the source (the water company). Having your water tested to see what it is you need to remove would be a good next step. Then go from there. There are different types of whole house water treatments. Salt based water softeners remove mostly calcium and...
I would think the water company would be liable for poor water quality at your house. What would they say to you "Oh well the water was good when it left our facility. I don't know what happened to it from there." You know that you are responsible for the water pipe from the curb to your house...
It would help if Leafer would chime in on some of the ideas posted here to see which direction he was favoring. IMO the split unit is too much for what he is trying to accomplish. I believe that building the fish room in around the sump area is a great start. Install an opening for a inexpensive...
I guess I better keep my face out of the tank. That would be a nightmare.
The urchin actually gave up eating the carcass remains after I put in a piece of dried seaweed. I guess it was really hungry.
