Ifogot For calculating things co2sys by Ernie Lewis and Doug Wallace. Yes that is the program I mentioned on this thead:) Also have you looked into ? CO2 in Seawater: Equilbrium, Kinetics, Isotopes by Zeebe and Wolf-Gladdrow

I would not disagree with Walt per se, but I would suggest that he is somewhat mistaken Fare enough but have you monitored temps at those depths / what Walt says. Yes, I know the shallow water mixing often gives much more of a constant temp. I do have some faith, in that one who has been diving...

Ok, but that is just too far a departure for my tastes. pH = TA/TCO2 as a model suggests to me the general manner in which they covary. pH = TA x TCO2 just gives my brain fits For your taste, Randy's, Habib's or a chemists yes, I would agree. If you were asking the questions you would have...

Thanks again Chris For most reefs, I'd shoot for a mean temp of 80 - 82 F Pretty much what I posted as a limit, not need to attempt higher temps. Do you agree with this post or not by Walt Smith and Bomber is the issue on SST. Walt has lived there for almost 20 years or so. And some SST can...

Nice to see you Chris. And sorry for all this arguing nonsense we have created. I looked up and read that pdf abstract a nice piece. Don't know why I have not seen it before or others for that manner. pH = Alk x CO2 makes no sense to me as a conceptual model Of course it makes no sense that...

The only one that needs to get over themself is you Carlo. You then go into arguing with me about temps that corals bleach at. You quote stuff and tear it apart. I don't bight because it wasn't something I said You most certainly did you said Walt Smith does not know what he is talking about...

There are probably crap loads, posts, of them on RC or RF. You might also want to check Bomber's forum The Reef Tank. I'm not into temp' s really at all. I do not know of any articles other than those mentioned. You may want to do a search on Reefkeeping, Advancedaquarist or the files on reefs.org.

Skipper, Habib, Jim (the filterguys) and I had dinner on Thusday night. Then Habib had the bright idea, lets all walk out and leave the bill with Skip, since Skip went to the Menes room :) No, we came back :D That is was where I learned 2 day in advance that Randy was getting the award. Boy...

What you clearly missed was the fact that I was poking fun You were not poking fun at all, so too trying to fool people. ssehee all one has to do is read this last posts of yours. You just keep contradicting you own posts. My point was that since I was only correcting your error with a...

I think Rich it is time fo a new keyboard I guess :) My error, yes Skipper. And so much for the work "tile " also.

Carlo I did not read all that and probably wont' it is not my cup of tea so to speak. Ron also has an article in either ReefKeeeping or Advancedaquarist and I think it is the later. You should also have posted a link to Eric's quotes but it is not need IMHO, as you have his name there but...

Phyllis I hope you don't get in trouble with Skimmper for using the tile on this forum :D But I will not tell :)

Carlo PINPOINT II Oxygen Monitor Yep positive, it's designed for salt water use. Same as the other system by Neptune Well you are were mislead it does not work correctly, it can't and was not designed for SW, it will read close to ~1.5 mg / l to high. Even Lou Dell has made a grave mistake...

I will reply to your post Greg to just answer your question. I run a chem forum on another large board and am they major poster and contributor to Dr. Randy Holems-Farley Reef Chemistry forum on RC. Yes it is going nowhere I could not agree more. As far as the comment, sorry, to late to remvoe...

Omega I agree on looking out for others. But as you said it's just a guide and it seems to be "off" by a wide margin in practice at times. Doesn't mean it's useless or anything and I agree and use it for working with others on their tanks for a measure of safety. You answered my question on it...

He has posted the information I mentioned in the forums at RC to answer people's questions and also has it here. You should reframe yourself again as if I don't know who Randy is, have not read his articles or do not know what RC is. I have reviewed many of Randy's articles before there were...

running calcium and alkalinity on the high side when pH is low MAY help calcification Nope, only high or somewhat high Alk and pH and not Ca++. Ca++ does nothing So while he doesn't say it DOES he seems to indicate it can. You should try to reframe yourself more from reading into things. He...

Carlo and I have had this chat about temps and O2 levels Well, I often chuckle ( don't take this wrong) ;)) when I hear this as many assume their tanks are at saturation with respect to O2, because "I have greate circulation" and 95 % of them never are, accept maybe for a brief moment. Most...

OK, I don't think that is the same one Jessi showed me. The one on the middle self on a small stand, right across from Jessie's chair. The so called 'prototype' not out yet ;)

Randy likes higher levels not because they are needed but to act as buffer for lazy people so to speak. I might add he also thinks it is OK to have somewhat large pH swings and says a constant pH may not be a good thing, where I also disagree. My ranges are just a little narrower but are still...
