Done!

I picked up a melanurus wrasse this past Saturday (thank you to ThatGuy). After acclimating the fish, and placing him in the tank, he immediately buried himself in the sand, with a plume of sand being thrown up. It’s now been two days. Anyone wish to venture when I’ll see this guy?

Karen, just found my interface. Not sure if you got one from Brian, but here’s what mine looks like:

It looks to be a pineapple sponge. Google that and check out the images to see if it matches.

I’m not getting the MacGyver reference…..he would take a transistor radio, a piece of string, and a paper clip and turn that into a computer. I’m just a dumb, retired chemist. Let me give you a brief overview of the DI resin we use. First off, it’s a mix bed resin. This means that it...

Karen, if Brian doesn't have the correct wires, I'll look to see if I can find mine. Just don't know were I put them, but I'll look. However, that's not going to happen until after five today.

Anthony and Teri, thank you very much for a fun, informative and stinky meeting. I’ve looked at food recipes before, but this is the first time I’ve seen it made. A little messy and smelly, but not too bad. I think it was a good idea doing this in the garage. We had an exceptional...

Wow! For the DIY Calc/Alc users, you’re holding a couple pallets of gold! Peladow Calcium Chloride is good to use as a calcium chloride source. It too is anhydrous, so the formula is 2 cups to one gallon of RO/DI water. And if you get a 50lb bag….that’s about a life-time supply.

Prestone Driveway Heat.....an ice melt product....calcium chloride. Dissolve two cups in RO/DI water and bring up to one gallon.....again, the B-Ionic recipe. The problem might be finding an ice melt product now since it's seasonal. EDIT TO ADD: BRS also sells a calcium chloride HERE...

LMAO…..(sorry for your loss)……I read this as if you were doing something, and accidentally hit the heater with a hammer. I thought you had a controller??? Maybe Reef Angel?

Edwin! What did you do? You hit your heater with a hammer??? I’m going to come over there and confiscate all tools from you. Geewiz, city boy! :grin: I do have to ask…..what were you trying to hit with the hammer when you hit your heater?

You certainly can use straight baking soda….especially if you have relatively high pH. However, if your pH is running on the low side, cook it first. Put 2 ¼ cups of Baking Soda on a cookie sheet and cook it in the oven at 300 degrees for an hour. Let it cool a little….doesn’t have to...

I have heaters....but won't be home til around 3:15 today.

Sounds good John......30 mls in a gallon is at the 0.8 mls per 100 mls dosing.

So 25 mls in 3785 mls (one gallon) comes out to 0.66 mls per 100 mls of tank water. Even though I haven’t seen any scientific studies on Bayer, that seems to be a touch on the low side. Again, the YouTube was 0.8 mls per 100 mls of tank water. I’ve also read others who do super strength...

John, what dilution of Bayer are you using? The original YouTube I saw, the guy used 8 mls in a liter of tank water. I’ve since rounded it out to make dilutions easier, at 1 ml per 100 mls of tank water. I usually make up 300 mls if I have one to a few frags to dip, and let them soak for...

Very nice woodworking! I'm liking it. Keep the pictures coming.

+1 Wait it out. It may take a few days, but it will then find it's happy place.

Sayreville help you out....between Little Silver and Dunellen

Hidden Reef in PA has a large selection of tanks and stands. Some of the stands are highly integrated with the tank....not the simple retangular box.
