    Mixing station pump?

    I use an air pump. I have the airline go through a PVC pipe to the bottom of the container so it doesn't coil up. It moves a very good amount of water, uses little electricity, and adds no heat. It takes me about 4 hours for 25g of water to dissolve the salt. I just leave the pump running until...

    New setup: AA 54x24x20 + 50x16x16 sump

    I am referring to this. This will fail. All four of them in time. Not sure which first but probably this one. If you added aluminum angle to each of these joints it could help. You'll want to get as big of a piece as you can and make sure it is screwed in close to the top, close to the...

    New setup: AA 54x24x20 + 50x16x16 sump

    I am sorry but as is that stand will not hold. It is not safe to screw into the end grain of a board for this application. I think it would be wise to reinforce those joints with aluminum angle, or something of the type. I would also be concerned with the lack of center brace. Did you wrap...

    Help with alk question

    Did you do the test 3 times Friday with two kits, and three times Sunday with two kits? Are you refrigerating your reagent? Have you checked the batch date of your reagent? How long has it been open? Is the outside of your glass sample holder clean? Has your pH swung widely? It is very...

    Help with alk question

    There is nothing that would cause your alk to drop that fast in two days in your tank if you did not do a water change or add chemicals. The test was wrong. The first time or the second time.

    Cyano Advice

    There are a few things you can do. None of them matter until you fix your nutrient issue. Until then the cyano will just be replaced with something else if you eradicate it. It is good to get things when they are small. You can not water change your way out of cyano. It can double itself every...

    Started my first phyto culture. NEW videos

    I highly recommend something like this for you. You will be able to control the amount of bubbles much better. The pods need different than the phyto. So with this you can still use one pump for all...

    Nero 7's vs MP40's

    I am not a fan of the MP40 noise. I clean mine often, even bought a second wetside so I could do it weekly with ease. They are just loud. The flow pattern is great, I love the batter back up options, the things are just to loud. Everything else is great. I currently have an MP40 on my...

    Dosing Kalk need confirmation.

    I used the side of a box Biota shipped my tangs in. They sell regular styrofoam at Home Depot though. I do ICP tests a few times a year and everything has been great. Meckley has been using the foam longer than I have and he still says it's great, so ... I am guessing he would have a problem...

    Dosing Kalk need confirmation.

    Daily? Damn. Have you considered a 55g barrel? If you are mixing daily I don't think the float is ever going to matter for you. I mix once a month. On the 15th of the month I mix both tanks and refill my auto feeders. Daily? To much work for me. I do this method because it is so hands off.

    Most Amazing Thing Happened, you will never believe it!

    I'm sorry you are having that tough of a go of things. I was on medical disability for a few years. Couldn't even button a shirt, eat with a fork, or comb my hair for over a year. Serioulsy I ate sandwiches and Hamburgers for a year. I have an idea of how hard it can be. Glad you found something...
