    Our new project

    I apologize Praveen....I didn't understand your original question and answered with one of my usual smarta$$ answers. Yes, you are correct that it is "closed," so when the power goes out the closed loop loses nothing. Here is a diagram of a closed loop and sump setup. The closed loop is...

    Dan's 150 Rebuild

    Oh! It's just the tubing that transports the water. I took it as you pumping air into your ATO. I use scrap acrylic and put a groove into it that snuggly fits the tubing. Nicely holds the tubing at the bottom. I use these in my ATO, and both dosing containers.

    May Meeting Announcement

    I agree Bob.....that kenya tree filled tank that Darren has takes on a whole new look once you get the beer goggles on. A keg should just about do it. Makes the tank look amazing. :p Oh, and congratulations to your daughter.

    Reef Threads anyone listen to this?

    Looks like we got the answer over on RC.....when using Randy's DIY 2 part, his Mag recipe is correct for ionic balance (with the other ions being contributed by the alk and calc solutions). The Bingman recipe is correct when wishing to dose MAG and you are not using 2 part. In retrospect...

    Reef Threads anyone listen to this?

    Yes, it is more concentrated, but the dilution doesn't matter when compairing ratios of ingredients (mag chloride to epsom). This is what is important when discussing ionic balance......specifically of the sulfate ions in epsom salt. Bingman 10 to 1 Farley 5 to 3 For the sake of...

    Reef Threads anyone listen to this?

    Thanks for sharing Ed. The one thing I noticed about Dr. Bingman's talk was how his DIY Mag solution totally differed from Dr. Holmes-Farley DIY Mag (Recipe 1, Part 3a)....both supposedly ionically balanced. Bingman says mix 10 volumes of magnesium chloride hexahydrate with 1 volume of...

    Stupid stupid stupid mistake

    Hope all turns out OK. We've all had our "Doh" moments....more some than others. It boils down to the fact that men cannot multitask. I was doing a water change a couple weeks ago, siphoning out the water into five gallon bucks, and my wife asked me a question. That's all it took...

    I can't belive this...but this is my getting out sale..

    Kyle, so very sorry to see this. :cry: I've got to believe the bright side is that I'm willing to bet that you'll be back. Stay well and good luck with the sale.

    I'm done with fish.

    I'm no expert, but could you have some disease hanging out in your tank that is doing in these fish. Did you carefully examine these fish to check for disease? The other thought is stray voltage. You're young and healthy.....stand barefoot and put your hand in the tank. Do you feel a...

    The Hummers Have Returned

    You will need a hummingbird feeder: Walmart sells a nice glass feeder for around $15. I make my own food......1 cup regular table sugar made up to 4 cups with water. To first attrack them, make 1 cup sugar made up to three cups with water...this super sugar water really attracts them.

    The Hummers Have Returned

    We had company over tonight and were sitting out on our porch where I have our humming bird feeders. I filled it about a week or so ago. A male hummer came in to feed. First one we've seen this season. Seems early, but they are back. Get those feeders out there.
