    Toxic Salt??

    It is used in water treatment plants to remove heavy metals. So if you search "water treatment" and either "iron oxide hydroxide" or "ferric oxide hydroxide," you should find a wealth of literature on the stuff.

    Sump without drilling

    By siphoning directly, your outflow water rate MUST EQUAL your inflow water rate. If the outflow is greater than inflow, eventually the water level will drop below the siphon, the siphon will stop, but the return pump won't. It will continue to pump until you sump is empty...flood. If the inflow...

    Sump without drilling

    Couple comments: 1. By running the siphon directly from the display to the sump, you are not controlling flow rate...it will siphon dependent on the physics of pipe diameter, friction, column height, blah, blah, blah. You need to put an overflow box on the back of the display tank. It will...

    Toxic Salt??

    Chemistry 101: Phosban (i.e. GFO, GFH) also removes heavy metals. Assuming they are there in "high" concentration, they are removed by phosban (assuming you are running it).

    A Shocking Discovery

    Could the tingle just be the salt in the wound. If you have a VOM multimeter, see if there is actual voltage. Stick one probe in the water while the other is grounded...set for AC volts.

    A Shocking Discovery

    I agree with mike, you have a house voltage leakage problem. Never a proponent of the grounding probe. It only protects the tank owner, not the inhabitants. If you have the probe, it typically hides the voltage leakage problem....unless, like John, you're running the voltage out of the probe...

    Belmar

    Hey, we just got back after taking a moseyed ride back and forth across that part of the state. Kerry and I had a good time. I was supprised that no other bodies showed up after the original post, showing so much interest. Anyway we're ready to do it again at some later date. I'd like to be...

    Few Questions....Not sure if serious

    Water running through the few feet of copper in your house is not going to dump that much copper ions into your water. The water should be pretty much neutral pH and the flow too great. If you went on vacation for a year or two, I'd be a little concerned about the first few gallons out of the...

    Jersey shore fish & invert collecting.

    Could we possibly get a name of a road...by going to mapquest or some other mapping program. I'm not sure if you are on the Belmar side or Avon side of the inlet. The one area I know of where we could possibly meet is Maclearic Park, right off of Rt 35 as you are coming into Belmar (from route...

    need a wiring diagram for a 150 watt coralife M/H

    What are the colors of the other wires....in conventional house wiring, black is the "hot" wire. Also see if you can go to their website and find the info or contact their customer service department.

    Fans

    More detail. What size tank? Do you have a sump?...you could use the fan on your sump if you have one. Do you have an enclosed canopy? What lights? If you have open tank top or sump, you could use one of those clip-ons from Walmart. If you have an enclosed canopy and wish to cool that, the...
