Bad news.....I don't think I'll need to upgrade....when I put the guy in the tank, he just floated on his back. I'm now trying to flush him down the toilet, and it's not going well!

Forever. NO! However, by cooking the baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), you have made sodium carbonate....the same thing as soda ash. So use the same dilution factor that you were using with the BRS soda ash.

I suggest that you still do water changes….but first a few more questions. What is your target salt concentration? Do you use a swing arm or refractometer to measure salt concentration? And if it is a refractometer, do you calibrate with RO/DI or with calibration fluid (1.026)? This...

It was time to cook up a little more Alk, and I thought I’d share my experience in the kitchen. I purposely don’t want to mention that “C” word, because I think many are scared away when they hear that word. If you’re a two part user, this is an easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy recipe that anyone...

I’m assuming all three test kits were within reasonable error, and agreeing with each other. Measure the calc of freshly prepared RC water. If it was like the lot I had, it was well over 500. However, with a 10% water change per week, and you have all those sticks, and now hearing you...

Also, which salt are you using, how frequently do you do water changes, and what volume of water do you change. One of the reasons I’m switching from RC to IO is because of high calc. I went two months with only dosing alk. And this was with a weekly water change of 15 gallons on a 90...

I think it’s a coconut angel. :grin::grin::grin: And yes, this was my Father’s Day gift from my wife.

My wife picked up a new fish for me for Father’s Day.

What I got from the swap was a lot of grief from my wife for being there Friday afternoon and evening setting up, and all day Saturday from 7:00AM to now (7:00PM). Actually I did win an RO unit from the raffles, (which I don’t need), and picked up some fragging stuff….plugs, bags, and the...
