Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
In that case it's a tie. The two choices offer almost the same footprint. So it comes down to which looks better aesthetically. IMO the cube is nicer.
When I was looking at the 120g for my upgrade the overflow was on the wrong side. Cube would not have this problem. With a 18" front to back the...
Whenever I travel local food and aquarium are on the top of my list to do. I have been to
Adventure Aquarium
Jenkinson's Aquarium Point Pleasant
Brooklyn Aquarium
Aquarium of Niagara
Georgia Aquarium - we had to take a detour due to Hurricane Irene. So we ended up in Atlanta and visited...
I have been trying Kalk in my own experiement and it's easy to apply and harmless. You can use a turkey baster to remove the Kalk so it won't cause a big alk swing. However the first pass won't kill them all most likely you would need a few more passes.
I do have a patch in the back of the...
Running ALK off PH? This is the first time I heard someone doing this. Can't imagine this will actually work. Do you have this running for a while now?
Another option is to get a DC pump. Adjustable flow to your liking. I am only running about 3x tank volume and it's perfect. That's 120gph for you. More flow more noise.
This is usually limited by what can fit in the stand. Get the biggest that can fit in the stand.
If you can setup a remote sump then I agree glass DIY is the best. It can be customized to whatever you need. All it takes is to get a few baffles from the glass shop.
I use BRS doser as well. Here's my program:
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
OSC 030:00/000:50/029:10 Then ON
The OSC sounds intimidating but actually it's quite easy. (It's easier than figuring out the FIOS remote control).
The first number (030:00) means it will turn on 30 mins after the cycle starts...
Thanks guys.
3 days after turning off GFO PO4 is now 0.06. I know high PO4 is not good but zero is not good either. I am never able to maintain a optimum level with GFO.
Nitrate is high too. > 10ppm. Chaeto not growing well maybe due to the lack of PO4. Going to get a home depot CFL light...
Tank has been running for a while. Doing well but not great. SPS are kind of brown/purple. I initially have some minor PO4 problem, which was as high as 0.20 ppm. Turned on GFO and this morning it was 0.00. It must have been at this level for a while. I do not have a good NO3 test kit but using...
It will. But it will defer the alarm for all the other conditions as well. For example if the Temp > 81.0 it will alert you 2 mins later.
It does not matter where you put the statement.
You should test your code by turning on the alk out manually to make sure it works.
