    Rob's time for an upgrade 180

    That needs to be GE Silicone I......NOT II. And you need to let it cure for as long as you can.....3 days in nice, 5 days is better.

    I've not seen this before...

    Chris, I'm confused....what do you mean you used the bayer stuff. Bayer Complete Insecticide is a coral dip and not a tank treatment. Explain please.

    Grill Mat

    Gee-whiz James, maybe my Goldilocks method of choosing a grill is flawed. The Vermont Casting (closest to you), was tooooo big. The Master Forge (at the end), was tooooo small. But the Ducane (right in the middle), was just right. :grin: The veggies were cooked on the Ducane.

    Is that all of it or just a piece. It looks like a section of bristleworm/bobbit worm/eunice worm.

    Grill Mat

    I've resurrected this post because I've discovered a great use for the grill mats. I use to use grill baskets to do grilled vegtables. The problem with these baskets is that they don't hold much. I'd typically had to do three lots of cooking to get the vegetables done. Well, with two...

    Free 210 gallon RR tank, stand, and canopy

    Mike, I've got a truck if you need a hand....although I'm working Sunday, I could work it in. Let me know.

    Free 210 gallon RR tank, stand, and canopy

    It almost brought a lump to my throat seeing the title of this post. Glad to see you're staying in the game Mike. For those who don't know (too new to the club), Mike has been one of the most generous members of the club....in goods he's given away and in the time spent with members...

    Can I Mix Two Different Salts?

    I use to use RC only and switched to IO. In the process, I was mixing the two....and not problems at all. I'm now all IO......because I like my alk low.

    Congratulations Ed and Team Josh. I have to work on Sunday, so won't be at the park. Enjoy the day and especially the little guy!

    How real Men peel apples

    I've had it for the first and last time at the Cranberry festival is South Jersey last year. It looks real good....crispy and delicious...and not bad the first couple bites. But turns out to be real greasy. Let's just say you're a well oiled machine when you get done eating that pile of...

    Juano's 75 Gallons "The Re-Build"

    Now I see! Very nice job Juan. I'm liking it.

    How real Men peel apples

    Pretty cool. If you're a carnival kind of person you might have seen something similar with Butterfly Fries....where they use a drill to butterfly the potatoes.....Here's a video of that. Butterfly Fries Video

    Juano's 75 Gallons "The Re-Build"

    NICE! Love the DIY stuff, but I'm not fully seeing how it's going to work. The pH probe can't be submerged and the alk and calc hoses ideally should be in the water as well. And the temperature probe, it depends on the kind you have. If you have the type that looks similar to a pH...

    Baking Alkalinity Solution

    If you keep the sodium carbonate in a tight container you should be fine. Sodium carbonate is hygroscopic and will form a couple different hydrates (and in the process "gain weight" by the presence of water.) I have a pool and buy the largest sodium carbonate container they sell (maybe 40 pr...

    Baking Alkalinity Solution

    Not sure where you got that weight, but the correct weight of sodium carbonate is 375 grams per gallon of RO/DI water.

    Baking Alkalinity Solution

    Yeah, I buy the big bag as Sam's....I think 13 pounds or so....and it must be a commodity because the price is different every time I go there....between 4.50 to 6.50 a bag. Just to clarify, if you were cooking up one batch, you would use 2 1/4 cups of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), and...

    How to lower TDS and improve water quality

    pH of 7.6 without treatment....you have virtually no CO2 in that water. I'd now run that RO directly through the DI, eliminating the bubble step. That should make water production easier.

    How to lower TDS and improve water quality

    By chance did you measure pH of the water pre and post bubbling. That would be a better indication of CO2 leaving the water. I'll continue to scratch my head why the TDS would drop after bubbling....but it's not from CO2. And congrats on a new and better well....that's the great news here...

    How to lower TDS and improve water quality

    Mark, I'm not sure why your TDS is dropping over time with bubbling. CO2 has an insignificant effect on TDS.....considerably less than 1 %. That is, you can't use TDS to measure CO2.

    Ever see one of these?

    Here's my guess....then again, that might just be rock! :grin:
