What sort of setup are you shooting for? It is drilled or are you doing HOB? The advice above is pretty spot on.

I was actually just making sure I got the spelling right, but yes I am a beer snob. Stone Stout is seasonal so you have to look during the right season. I have several liquor stores that are local that luckily carry it. Westy 12 (and a lot of other rare beers) can be found on ebay, you will...

Being a beer snob this is quite the thread for me All time favorites but rarely have: Westvleteren 12, Three Floyds Dreadnuaght Imperial IPA and Stone Imperial Russian Stout Treat beers, have maybe monthly easier to get: Chimay Blue, St Bernadus 12, Lindemans Framboise (nikki's favorite)...

The last step is to add a powdered reagent and shake it up, if you don't wait long enough and there are any air bubbles it will give you an artificially high reading

Happy Birthday Phyl!!!

I did not calibrate them, I did not see any directions for calibration but I will check that tonight. We used RODI water when checking calcium, don't know if that makes a difference.

The margin of error is + or - 6% and Salifert is probably around the same so it is close enough. I will do some more testing over the weeks and keep you guys updated.

So finally got around to testing. My levels are a bit low but don't want to go crazy raising them. Hannah alk 7.11 Salifert alk 7.00 Hannah calc first test 559 Hannah second test 438 Salifert calc 400 So alk is right in line calc you need to be careful when testing as getting a high reading...

It was camden, so it could have been multiple factors.

Yeah it was a 5.8 in virginia, and we felt it all the way up here. A little freaky to say the least.

Thank you to everybody that stopped in. We had a wonderful (and exhausting day) and it was good to see everyone. We will have to host again next year when our tanks have had some time to settle in. For those requesting pics, I will get some meeting ones up tomorrow or you can hit the Tale of...

Glass cages either has people who love them or people who hate them. Everyone will agree customer service is shoddy at best and your silicone will be sloppy. However, for the price they are very tough to beat and I know some people on this board who have had their tanks for years with no...

Will have mine on Saturday, have salifert test kits on hand and plan on testing side by side for a little while just to make sure.

Thank you very much. Those clowns have been together for a while now, we are waiting for them to spawn. I would love to see what their offspring looked like.

Paul, my hanna calcium and alk checkers are going to arrive at the meeting so we can test that as well.

Was out of town today, I can swing by tomorrow night if you want. I have beach volley ball so it will be a bit later.

That link is amazing steamman. I have only read about some of the clowns on that list.

Nikki saw these and had to have them which meant we had to have a new tank which takes us up to 4. The sign is back:

Tunze and Vortechs are really the best pumps you can buy. The reason they cost so much more is that they are made better and will last a lot longer than the pumps you linked too. You will probably throw more money at replacing the JBJs than on the Tunze up front. I know nothing about the Tunzes...

I will go in as well. GO GIANTS
