Water changes are the way to go. Sugar or vodka dosing is not going to do anything. This “carbon” dosing is to stimulate the bacteria that converts ammonia to nitrite to nitrate. Once you get to nitrate, that’s it! Nitrate is the end of the line. The only way to get rid of it is to have...

LOL…..the word is piggyback. And yes, you can piggyback on this only if you take my TV. At that point, you may then post your item up for free (wives aren’t allowed :grin:).

First off, to the MODS, if I am breaking a rule posting this for free, please move this to the naughty place. I know there is a rule for SELLING “reef aquariums related items only,” but I’m not selling, I’m giving it away. I just wanted to offer this to my friends here before posting it...

Your other option is to get your water right from the source…..the Atlantic ocean. I don't think it's common here in NJ, but in Florida it is a common source for aquariums.

What he is saying is “Epsom salts alone is not an ideal magnesium supplement.” Just like magnesium chloride by itself is not an ideal magnesium supplement. However, if you mix magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) and magnesium chloride (MAG Flakes) in the right ratio, everything balances out. To...

That’s white noise with a mild melody! Now, if it masks my wife’s snoring, I’m sold! :grin:

HERE is the word according to the God of Aquaria Chemistry, Randy Holmes-Farley…about halfway down it talks about Epsom Salts and sulfate concentrations.

Looking good!

Quickly perusing through that link (I did not read for content). There were three things I did not like right off the bat: 1. Mag Flakes has contaminants that you don’t want in your tank 2. Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom Salt) can not be use (solely) as a Magnesium source….causes buildup of...

Thanks David, but when I click on that link, I also see "ONLY AVAILABLE IN STORE"

You’ve done a great job on with this build….love that rock work with all those shelves. The lights came out great too. Nice job in mounting them up. One concern is your sump….the partitions are very high, leaving you with very little additional volume in the sump. If you turn off your pump...

So I go to place the order for a new Acer AO722-0473 Netbook (and cable) on Amazon, waiting for today, since it’s Cyber-Monday, and hoping for an additional savings, but NO! Yesterday the price was $279, and today it’s $302?? What’s going on? I purposely waited, thinking that Cyber-Monday...

It’s not actually connected to the washing machine. Here’s the picture again to make it easier to see when I explain it: The rigid PVC coming out of the top of the drum transitions to a gray garden hose that is connected to a sillcock (outdoor faucet). My washing machine is just to the...

I’m already collecting the waste-water from my RO/DI unit…and that’s considerably more than what would be coming from the dehumidifier. Here’s a picture of the waste collection for the RO/DI….that white 55 gallon drum in the bottom of the picture collects the waste-water. If contains a MAG 12...

Before answering questions, I have decided NOT to do this. Instead, I’m running a dehumidifier on the second floor, where the collected water is going to waste. I’ll probably add another dehumidifier on the first floor. Now the questions: The fish room is not the problem. The problem is...

Only for paid members. EDIT TO ADD: Brian, we must have hit this at the same time!

Do the conduit thing. Here’s an example coming up from the sides. An example coming from the back….I think attached to the wall. And finally, an example attached to the back of the stand. I think you get the idea.

Brian, thanks for the heads up on the cables. Again, I have no idea what I’m talking about, but I plan on buying the computer and any additional stuff on Amazon. I searched 25 foot cables, and I don’t find them overly costly…unless I’m looking at the wrong thing. HERE'S an example of what I...

Thank you all for you comments. I’ve decided that I’m going to buy a new Acer HD netbook that comes with an HDMI port. I’m due for a new computer anyway. Also, the comment about short HDMI cables, amazon sells them up to 50 foot long. I'm looking at maybe 15 foot....that should reach the...

Nope! ......all battery
