Stuff similar to the questions asked by THIS supplier.
I have no idea about output. I just assumed AC since it didn't specifically say DC on the label. This power supply is for an Aquabot pool robot. This is the third one I've purchased, and unfortunately when the other two crapped out, I...
I need help! When it comes to electronics, I don't know what I'm doing. A power supply I use crapped out, and upon investigation I found the transformer wasn't putting out any juice. The company wants $190 for the entire power supply, but I only need a new transformer, that I've got to...
Jon, rinising food does virtually nothing to your phosphate levels in your tank. HERE is an article explaining this. The conclusion from this Randy paper is, "So the hypothetical rinsing step has removed about 1 percent of the phosphate in that food...........That amount washed away does not...
A Sailfin or Orange Shoulder in a 150???? I've seen a full grown Sailfin in a 450 gallon, and it looked a bit cramped. THese fish get over a foot long.
Bottle up some saltwater and freeze that....two benefits.....if the bottle leaks, who cares and, it will cool your tank quicker because of the depressed freezing temperature of saltwater.
Ari, looks fantastic! I really like the clean look of you sump....nice looking manifold and plumbing. My only suggestion would be to switch out the metal hose clamps and metal pipe clamps with plastic. Both are readily available.
Wow! I'm impressed. Group buy!!!!
So help me out....do you use the gel in front of the camera or over the T5 lights? And would you use a different gel for, say T5s versus LEDs?
Do you know what type of clarifer you have........does it say if it's a flocculant or bio"magnet" type of clarifer? And do you know what you have floating around your tank? Either way, filtration is what removes the larger particles that are formed. If you're still seeing hazy water after...
Bio-clarifers clear your water by imparting a charge to the tiny particles that either aggregate or "stick" to other surfaces OR are flocculating agents that cause the small particles to floc, forming larger particles that will settle or get filtered out.
I have been very busy the past four days. No time to work on the tanks. Today I was in the back yard all day working on the pool. So around 8 pm I come back into the house to find that the JBJ28 lights were out....temperature was over 85 degress. I have the ReefKeeper to cut the lights...
Looking good George. I was scratching my head on the half piece of oak on the back until you explained the half-wall thing.
I vote for a 1/16 piece of black plexi (or clear, painted black), held in place with some sticky-tack. This way you can easily take it off to find that missing wrasse...
The chemist's answer is two moles of alkalinity are lost for every one mole of calcium. As mentioned, all two part solutions are made to provide this equivalence by adding equal volumes of each. Note that this is not an exact science since magnesium and strontium can take the place of...
