I'm thinking of doing them all again as well. But since I just did all of them between June 11 and July 22, I think I'll give Harry a rest for now. I just started Homeland, Phyl. I do remember reading it and enjoying it, so I will read this trilogy before going back to Harry. And yes I agree...

Outstanding! Now don't go to bed until it's running! ;D

Oh Merv, Steve68, time to come out and play! Great tanks and pics Jorge! Thanks for posting them.

Good luck Bill! Unfortunately I've got church stuff scheduled.

Lookin' good Matt. I'm going to have to figure out how to squeeze a Duncan into the 75 someday!

But the good news with these is that is really easy to do!

Cool! Do you plan on collecting them all?

I have one on my 55g softie tank with a maxijet 1200 for a pump. When they first came out a Rio pump was standard and the MJ1200 was an upgrade. Many folks upgrade to a Mag3. You will get mixed opinions on them. They are handmade and there seems to be some variation in performace. I'm very...

Been there, done that! I just bent a large net to fit and eventually chased him into it.

Hey Dan, How is the Toadstool? I might be able to stop by and look at it later in the week and drop off your AWI order as well.

Hey Carlo, Where did you hear about the Alk problems? I want to get batch numbers and check mine out. Thanks!

Hey Nick, As Carlo and I have both said, the steps right now should be: 1)Stop dosing. 2)Get accurate Alk, CA and MG levels. At that point the most likely action will be to lower the Alk gradually through water changes. But post your parameters first. Bill

The only reason I watched any of Voyager at all! But she's Borg. Sort of.

Now I'm going to be dreaming about Dax and Kira all night! I really liked DS9. Actually I haven't followed any Star Trek series since.

Hey Arvin, the Trees are the frags, Kenya Tress! Steve was being nice! Thanks for sticking up for me, but it was a case of mistaken sarcasm! ;D

Hey Steve, It's a good thing to try and minimize wastewater. As you get going you might find that setup cost prohibitive. You can get rechargeable resins, but that requires the use of some additional chemicals that present other issues. Many folks with RO/DI units use the waste water to fill...

Tina, Tell Don he owes us 40' of tubing, we didn't get it in the buy. I wasn't going to bother because it was mine and only $3. Tell him to send it to you.

6 meq is far from normal. Natural seawater is 2.5. Most reefers shoot for 3 -4. 6 is about 16.8 dkh. As far as adding calcium, if you aren't testing for it, rely on water changes. Only add elements that you are testing for.

Let us qualify that statement with if you are testing your CA and it is stable you generally do not need as much with softies. Softies do use and need CA. They just don't suck it up as fast as the stonies and clams.

See my post that just popped up, you are not dumb. ppm is not the most frequently used alk or alkalinity unit of measure. You have the right thing. 50ppm = 1 meq/l = 2.8 dkh.
