    Volt Meter

    The wire don't reach the outlet. Can I use the light fixture itself? It is 3 pronged so has a ground. Or a piece of metal?

    Volt Meter

    Okay, I tried to use this but get no reading. Do I put both [robes in the water? Do I need to ground one of the probes? If so which? Any help appreciated.

    Volt Meter

    I just picked this up at Harbor Freight, the actual store. If you have the coupon and by any item it is free. So I bought safety glasses for 99 cents. http://www.harborfreight.com/7-function-digital-multimeter-90899.html Now if I can figure out how to use it.

    Vinegar Dosing

    I am hoping the 20ml will do the trick. No I have not tried a different test kit.

    Super bowl!!!!

    With all these G-Men fanatics who's have a SB party? I was thinking about it but last time the Pats and Giants played I was the only Pats fan. Not sure if I want the abuse again in my house...LOL

    Vinegar Dosing

    Tested today and no change. I have bumped the dosage to 20ml daily now. I plan to test every 3 days going forward and increase the dosage by 10ml until I get 0ppm nitrates.

    Vinegar Dosing

    I agree. As for peroxide and SPS; yes it could have been something else. Other forums and people here will also say SPS don't like peroxide but a few people have had success.

    Vinegar Dosing

    I would be very careful with peroxide. The little SPS I had died and so did some inverts like snails and the feather duster. It could be another reason got the inverts but I find it odd all were fine until I added the peroxide. Research it before using.

    Vinegar Dosing

    It takes awhile for the HA to go away. But you should see a decrease in Nitrates quickly and your corals will start to look better. I have been dosing Tech M, highly recommended here and other forums, also to help remove the HA. My HA has not grown or spread, knock on wood, and starting to...

    Your favorite saltmix?

    I always preferred IO. I had some Reef Crystals but it seemed to mix dirty but it was clear in the DT. I just picked up a bucket of CoralLife cheap and will how that works. I have also used Red Sea which was okay.

    Vinegar Dosing

    Every sight I found was 1ml vinegar per 10g water. Also vinegar is 8x the vodka but it depends on the proof. Maybe that is why. Do post the answer here.

    Vinegar Dosing

    I was going by this thread on RC. It shows 1ml of vinegar per 10g of water. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2096478 Edit: Search RC for many more articles.

    Vinegar Dosing

    I mean by starting out to low in the beginning. The dosage in the article I read was 1ml for every 10g. I should have started at around 8ml daily but I cut it way back and only reached that about two weeks ago. SO now I test between 4 and 7 days and increase the dosage by 5ml.

    Vinegar Dosing

    I test at least every 7 day sometimes 4 days. The article on Reef Keeping states to test every 3 to 4 days and increase dosing if no change. I was waiting a week but not anymore. I believe my hesitation caused my hair algae and cyano outbreak. I was feeding the bacteria to cause this. As I does...

    Vinegar Dosing

    Lights on as I dose in the daytime. Until I reach my maintenance dose I don't see value in adding to my top off. How much is going into the DT daily? I can go through 5g of top off in 2 or 4 days depending on quick water evaporates.

    Vinegar Dosing

    I have an API test kit, not very accurate for this measurement and am pretty much guessing. The color scheme is yellow 0ppm to Orangish 5ppm. I have a slight orange tint right now. I was dosing directly to the sump one complete dosage. However, some coral in the direction of the return flow...

    Petco in Brick

    AJ, That sounds like the one on RT9 in Old Bridge. There is a closer one by in Middletown but they only seem to have clown fish, damsels, firefis, snails, and hermits. Nothing spectacular to look at and the tanks are so-so. Sometime they get tangs and angels in. They don't last long and am not...
