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.
Paul, was the solution to change the wording on the box (to "nominal 3 inch" or something) or did you actually find a way to make the bandages the right size? :cool:
Yea, when Dave first started talking about his tank being in the sunroom I mentioned that algae could be a problem. Frankly, I'm surprised its not worse than it is or that it didn't happen sooner.
The output shouldn't have more TDS than the input. Assuming you are using a dual TDS meter, you may have the sensors connected to the wrong tubes.
Can you post a pic of your RODI unit and try to describe the direction of flow?
If your flow is running faster than it used to, it could be due to...
Actually Dave, I have a brand new Chemiclean Red Slime Remover at my house, but I just don't have the scooper that comes with it. When I helped Mike Bodell clean out his house after the incident, he gave it to me.
If your cyano gets too out of hand, you can have it... but we just have to get a...
Haha, yea, they conveniently put the gift shop at the end of the Shark exhibit. They know everyone is going to go through there and that's the only way out unless you back track. So they force you into the gift shop and then kids take over from there!
Next time, try to talk them into the...
Dave, manual removal seems like the best approach. Just use a fish net to scrape it off the sandbed as gently as possible. This might help too...

From my experience and what I've researched, the Salifert and Elos kits are the most preferred and most accurate. I have several Salifert's and they work fine... but I love my Hanna meters. A digital reading is so much easier than trying to match a color scale on a card.
Phil, that link you...
I saw this thread, but I have one with probably the same coloring, and it has about 20 heads. It's a real nice acan, but I'm kind of looking for different too. ;)
Good luck.
I can attest to Paul's statement. I originally had a 75 gpd unit from TB Aquatics. Waste water was about 3 buckets to 1 bucket of RODI. I later added a 75GPD upgrade kit from Bulk Reef Supply, and after that my waste water went down to a little more than 1 bucket of waste to 1 bucket of RODI...
Walmart also sells something like these too. I remember seeing them when I was shopping for camping/fishing stuff last month and thought they would be good for the home aquarium.
Here's a list of items that could work (not all of them are battery powered)...
Have to agree with Paul. I thought it would take them time to dig out a home... but he literally drilled right in. Awesome vid Sandee, thanks for sharing that!
Keep in mind that this thread was started over a year ago also. The flat worm issue was surely taken care of or else they wouldn't still be in business.
PS, what's with the post above me?
Wow, I was coming on here to report that I had no real problems at all. Heavy rains and winds was about the extent of it. Never lost power, no damage to the house, etc.
If figures, because aside from not getting a generator, we were extremely prepared for this storm. Brought in all the outdoor...
