Well, crap jimmy, 3 books on nukes, 1200 species and the Genus name is nowhere to be found :)

No Dave unfortunately not. That SLC report is the Cadillac of any WR I have seen. Our old WR use to be more like that one buy now it is more like yours. It has been a continuous effort recently for WR to have only what is required by EPA Ground and Drinking Water Standards. Many use to show...

You are correct Greg it was, mine was :) Old saying: What is good enough for the goose is good enough for the gander. However, mine should have been formatted in a more polite manner. Sorry Dave :D and Dave knows I thing he is a pretty good guy.

$300 :o :o :o I did not see that. That is a rip-of for that and yes one could easily DIY it. Phyl It is just marketing hype.

Yah Dave it is kinda of a uncalled for rant. So, now I'll rant. You seem to be the one ranting here about yourself. Some guys go out of their way, on their own time, to make some nice charts to try and HELP somebody make a selection and you whine about it. Where is your chart ?? And how are they...

I'm right here :) I fell out of my chair and hurt my head when I saw this be the equivalent of up to a 50 gallon weekly water change. No filter can do that :) I'll bet it is nothing more than having a porous media like a zeolite media, aka, Kitty litter, Nitrate sponge or ZeoVit media...

Well, holly crap Batman, that looks like a young famous Spanish Shawl, Flabellina iodinea The charge money for these things. But there is alos Cuthona sibogae or similar species Flabellina iodinea...

One thing about Jim is he will NOT try to sell you something you do not need or fill you with a line of BS like others. And he does NOT play the silly game of cluing the DI cartridge screw able base shut, which is NOT suppose to be, so you have to buy both resin and a cartridge. With his just...

Green water can be a real pain in the ass to get rid of. The best solution is to buy or borrow a good UV unit which is by far the most effective. Then do 50 % WC ever other day for 6 days with the lights out. By any chance are you getting any sunlight in this tank. That is often a no-no in some...

Billy I'm not up to date on current salt formulations but in the past salts were formulated in a manner expecting tap water to be used. That is why many salts when mixed using RO/DI needed to have buffers added as the expected contribution from tapwater was missing. Salts are not made with tap...

This is what a real water report/assay should look like. SLC Water Report http://www.slcgov.com/utilities/pu%20web/water%20report.pdf

I'm sorry but that is not a water lab report at all IMHO. Where is the Nitrite, Alk, Mg++, Ca++, Chloride, Ammonia, Barium, Floride, Mercury, Chromium, Cadmium, Arsenic, Copper, Sulfates, Chlorides, Zinc, THM, NTU,etc., etc.. It does not even give TDS or Conductivity, pH, O2 or BOD. This is...

Dave, usually when the TDS on the DI gets to a few PPM. There is no set rule. Some go with 1-2 ppm other up to 10 ppm. Tap water TDS it depends on the soruce and what the water assay sheet tells us. People kinda get ticked off when I show them my water report. TDS = 53 ppm and Conductivity 100...

Just let me know where i should go from here =) Tell you boss to send a unit to a certified lab for testing. If he won't is is just hype :)

More magic in a fancy cylinder. First, it DOES NOT remove WH. Meaning it does NOT remove cations or anions, such as Ca+, Cl-. What do you mean all that is left to be broken down is calcium and magnesium. You can't break down ions, what the heck are going to break them down into. There is no...

Haven't you guys seen these yet ? Only $99.99 :) From Atlantic Reef Aquaculture

We do not know yet as there are way to many variables. For some it may last a month for other maybe 2-3 months.

Paul, old buddy You and I have been sleeping under a rock for the last few years. These are not new but have been around for years. A buddy of mine just told me yesterday he worked in a LFS in Calif in 2004 and they had them then. Like you, I just found about about them :) AND from YOUR post on...

Old rule of thump, when anybody starts to do some thing new or uses a different product and seems to see something take place in a reef tank, the first thing they do is blame the product, which usually is not the case most of the time. I doubt it is Rod's food, maybe it is you just added to much :)

Fishtachio think your alk should be higher, between 12-15dKH. Having the Alk that high is like an accident looking for a place to happen. That is 2.0 x - 2.5 x NSW and there is not reason for it. All the Alk in the world will not fix a low pH from CO2. You run your Ca++ to high or do...
