What test kit are you using? I’d do an ICP test to get your baseline. regular arm and hammer baking soda, spread it on a cookie sheet and bake it at 250? For like 20 minutes, store it in an airtight container and dose as prescribed in the calculator link I posted. It won‘t raise calcium but...

I keep mg >1500, not a problem, Ca is high but more importantly alk is on the edge of low. Do an icp test. Checks for a wide range of contaminants https://www.marineandreef.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=RFM45872 There are a lot of ways to raise alk, baked baking soda is cheep and...

That’s really what sobered me on Ecotech the most. I did have some of the original MP40’s and they worked fin, the were noisy and ugly on the outside of the tank and you can’t point them but they had their place and were OK Möbius was such a PITA, took hours to get stuff to work, then not a...

LPP has a phenomenal aquarium.

Hey Kevin! Got any photos? 2 years is a great track record. What are you keeping in your tank?

The getting a Lemmon isn’t my problem with them, though if you read what everyone else has posted in this thread, Echotec should probably open a lemon-aid stand. The problem is that their support sucks balls. Droopy, sweaty, harry transvestite balls with cottage cheese on the bottom. Ecotec...

Not doing the house boat, we want to get 75+ miles up the lake. those things move at 11 knots. I’m doing a few days on Mead with friends and then like 6 hrs to Powell. I’m bringing a tent and air mattress but I may just sleep in the boat. Family has stupid school so they aren’t coming.

@laverda is a really good friend of mine (don’t tell anyone, I wouldn’t want to hurt his reputation) the cable management system I chose is a product called “snake tray”. I also used what are known in structured cabling as “D-rings”. Because I had time, I had them powder coated red. I think I...

Not to mention, buying enough vinegar to clean that tank could cost you as much as you paid for the tank. I keep a 5# bag for various things and I probably use too much but I’m impatient. Not to mention, I hear from chemists that citric acid is much easier on plastics than acetic acid and it...

Funny, I reached out to Roger about getting a Tunze return pump and the guy is great, straight up honest and actually reads my emails. He got back to me right away with all the information I need to make an informed decision and I’m sending my out-of-warranty 6105 motor block that failed back...

I’ve had my Jeabo running a skimmer with a mesh mod (horribly imbalanced and just hell on the bearings) for about 4 years. it started making noise so I replaced it proactively and kept it as a spare. It worked like a champ for the month I was dealing with Echotec support. Epilogue, seems...

Taking a short trip to Powell in the near future, you been living on the river all summer?

IMO, perfectly neat and all bound up is not the way to go. This is not an airplane or a SCORE car, it’s a fish tank. Things need service regularly and things break and get upgraded. This is what I did Jan 2019 and it still looks great and is quite functional. Probably 1/2 of the equipment...

But if you are board, you have already sighed off. LOL, I could never get board of you Dave!

If Hillary could blow, we never would’ve heard the name, Monica Lewinsky. That’s a fact.

I’ll take pH probe reserved space for more

*******ALL TIPS WELCOME******** Most of us have top off water for the tanks and that can be used for drinking but it’s a good idea to have a case or two of bottled water if you have a generator, now’s a good time to start it up and get some spare gas. If the storm blows over, you can put it...

So, this is freaking rich. I started the RMA process over a month ago. Shipped the entire pile of junk back to them the morning after they gave me an RMA. They had the thing for a week, called me on a Wednesday, stated that the controller was bad, the motor unit was bad but the power supply...

finally got a response from a person, not a bot. Told me to re-calibrate the pump again. I’ve recalibrated it 3 times already. That took 7 attempts because the Bluetooth chip can’t seem to stay connected for more than a few minutes. I work a lot, 15 hrs is not an uncommon day for me and I...
