Re: February Meeting Please make sure to RSVP on the home page so that we can keep accurate counts for the hosts! Thanks!

We feed fresh water into the aqualifter and then into the kalk reactor, so it isn't actually pushing slurry. It works just like Chase said. We're available most nights (except Saturday night this week) after 8pm.

We're in Jackson.

If you're just dosing and are looking for a better solution you have the choice between Ca reactor or dosing Kalk. Of course, there are many ways to skin a ... fish, but I wanted an automated way. Ergo the Ka reactor (v. a bucket). Between the two I would get the Ka reactor first (though you...

That's what I did.

No need to change a thing. That's not the start of hair algae. Looks like green coraline. Not the prettiest, but it won't hurt you either.

If you don't get any takers, you could call a plumbing/heating/air conditioning person to come make the fix. Should be a fast enough fix not to cost an arm & a leg.

You need to measure the PH of the effluent because you need to keep the water inside of the Ca reactor at 7.0 (for Arm media, lower possibly for other brands). Much lower than this and it is mush. Higher and it won't dissolve. In order to do that you need to measure the water coming out of it...

I own THIS one. I like it, but I haven't owned it long enough for the ideosynchrasies to outweigh my love for it. This keeps the PH stable in my 570g system topping off 6g a day. I personally stir 2x a day for 5m. I don't mind siphoning water, I'll keep a couple of spare MJs in the pile with...

PH in the effluent for the Ca and float switch for the Ka. If you got fancy, you could have the float switch choose between fresh and Ka based on the PH in your tank, but I don't have the logic worked out for that just yet!

I find Turbos/Mexi turbos best for cleaning the rock (along with some blue leg hermits). Is the green flat, or fuzzy? Any chance at a picture?

It isn't a forum, it is a menu selection at the top of the page, accessible through HERE!

LOL. That's what I like about the design, Chase. I siphon enough water out to make a slurry and then I pour it all back in. There's no waste. Ok so I have to start a siphon, but that doesn't bother me (I just make John do it, lol. J/K).

Very cool. Sounds like you've got a keeper.

Sounds like the start of hair algae. I'd increase your CUC before it gets any worse.

Looks like my acan lordhow....whatchamacallit. If it needs to be fed (I haven't ever found it NECESSARY), then feed it mysis. The feelers out make it seem to me like it senses something in the water it can eat. Had you recently fed the tank? Have you checked your PH, Alk & Magnesium lately? I'm...

Looks GREAT, Bill. Can't wait to see it in person in February!

Rich, let me tell you... single best thing. Really.

OMG. That picture is SOOOOOOO hilarious!!

We can get those for 230$, no shipping (we will pay tax though). If we hit 8, we'll get them for 220. Can we get a head count of those who want one (sorry, Members only)?
