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.
My bottom was open. However, it was more or less buried in sand with some rock around it. Closed would work as well. I also drilled a couple holes in the reducing coupling to allow air to escape. Oh, and obviously my drain lines coming down from the DT are 1 1/2 pipe. You will need...
I’m typically a slow-as-you-go type of person with the tank. However, your alk is burning high. It’s damaging! So I personally would start with a 50% change to get it down to something less “burning.” I say this with ignorance because I’ve never had 19dKH, but that is coral-damaging...
Here’s the bubble trap I made for the incoming pipe in the refugium. It was made using a 3” by 1 ½” sanitary tee with a 3” to 1 ½” coupling in one end and a short length of 3” pipe on the other end. The 1 ½ hole in the coupling was slightly widened using a rasp so that the 1 ½ pipe could be...
I have to agree.....nice pair of cans!
I had to make my photobucket accounts "private" because of the threatening comments I was receiving, and not being addressed by photobucket.
I agree with George…..all for adoptions. However, if I want a German Shorthaired Pointer because I’m a hunter, I’m not going to find that at a shelter. If I lived in San Diego, I’d just have to drive to the next county to buy my dog. Don’t punish legitimate breeders because San Diego has a...
Kenpa, I switched from T5’s to LEDs for the same reasons you mention……The cost of bulb replacement, cost of electricity, and heat…..and I couldn’t be happier. Did some stuff “color morph?”……YES. But I still like what I got. On my 90DT I’m running two Apollo’s and on the JBJ28, a...
+1 for an egg create stand. A couple zip ties and egg create (light diffuser), and you’re done. The egg create is easily cut with a pair of wire cutters.
Here you can see an egg create stand for the biopellet reactor, and a plexiglass stand for the skimmer on the left (sort of hard to see).
As a loooooooooooong time moderator, I would think you would know the answer to this!
Now where is that “report” button. :grin:
And when you get a jar, I like mine on a little piece of toast. :o
Plenty still available. However, not available this Saturday….yet another funeral to attend…..third one this year…..don’t get old!. I’ll be back some time in the afternoon.
DARN! I'm one of these and if I had the time I'd figure out which one I am....just give me a little more time and I'll let you know which one I am. :grin:
Thanks for clarifying….but I still have a problem. dKH is alkalinity, just like your milliequivalent per liter you are reporting with the Red Sea test kit. The two obviously don’t agree. Below is a conversion table that converts dKH to ppm to Meq/l.
One of your test kits is...
I'm confused.....you say high kh but report an alk number of 2.0???? I'm not sure what units you're reporting, but I'd actually guess it is meq/i, which translates to approximately 5.5 dKH. That's not high....that's LOW!
What am I missing?
