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.
The coral you have listed as a valida looks more like a blue stag (to me).
The one you have listed as I have no idea looks like a tort to me (as opposed to the one you have listed as a tort).
They're very nice pieces! Good luck and enjoy them!
Those are just my guesses. Hopefully someone...
I'd probably remove it, with my thinking being that it could feed hair algae in due time. I'd rather start without that disadvantage, personally. Will a turkey baster solve the problem?
You can appeal the feedback and possibly have ebay remove it, since you had to file a claim with PP to get your money back. I'd give that a try, just out of spite. But I'm sure you don't know ANYTHING about spite! LOL!
I'd buy water from an LFS first, but that's me (today). I started off my tank 3 years ago with straight tap water. :) You could also buy bottled Di water from the grocery store.
It is best to drink RO and not the RO/DI so it would help if you had a split off before the DI cart. From what I've read, the DI process strips the water of some ions and that can mess up your system if you drank it exclusively. Just what I've read though. You could probably drink it in...
You can use the X10 to control many things, they're not good for anything with a ballast. Something about the way they work causes a flicker. They're well suited for heaters, fans, pumps, solenoids, fuge lights, etc. We're using a DC8 for all of our MH lights. You can't use the DC4 unless you...
When you send an image, please give me a little blurb with it. I need some caption/footnote to put with the picture. If you have no comments on the skills that went into making it a "great photo" then please tell a little bit about the animal, shot setup... SOMETHING that we can use for home...
Carlo, I was aware of the potential alk in crease by the use of dolomite, but I wasn't expecting to break enough down to raise my Mg by 100 points.
Our Alk levels run consistantly 10.9/11.2 with a pH (now) running at 8.05. Dolomite doesn't break down in a pH of over 6.5 and we run our reactor...
Raising our Mg has brought our Ca up and increased our PH without raising our Alk. Mg isn't quite up to 1350 yet, but at 1260 our PH is now "up to" 8.06. Intersting. Thought I'd share.
Greg, we saw that you were logged into the home page and we all sort of raised our eyebrows in surprise! You may have gotten a PM from someone using the home page. That would have taken you into the new system. My best guess, anyway!
Not ready for production. Maybe a couple of testers at this...
Just a reminder that we're now taking entries for the May Picture of the Month. We've modified the rules a bit, so please read over the rules prior to submitting an entry for the contest.
