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.
Do you have a bubble counter hooked up to it? When you hear that click and see the red light, that means that the solenoid is open and the regulator should be allowing CO2 to flow. There is a needle valve on the regulator to control the CO2 flow. By having your line go through a bubble counter...
Oh man Joe, that really stinks. I heard about Xbox and the Red Screen of Death! Seems to be a big problem with them.
Barry, I'm not sure if it was game related or not but the fact that you're having problems is a bit concerning. The issue I was having was that every time I would go into a new...
SOB! Two days after I got COD 5 my playstation broke. I got it last year from Circuit City with their extended service plan. I sent the thing out to their repair center on 11/28. UPS says that its been delivered but they haven't logged it into their system yet. I called to follow up and they...
I have a few K4's that just quit on me after running for about a year. When I plug them in there is no "pull" on the impeller or anything. They're just dead. I'm not sure what caused it but it's happened to at least 3 of them. I never took them out and cleaned them so it's possible that the...
We use Red Sea Coral Pro too. I ran a bank of tests the other night and got these results:
Alk 10.6
Mg 1300
Ca 390
Sil 0.50
PO4 0.09
NO3 0.00
I just got the kit from AWT.com. I'll send out a sample Monday and see what they come up with.
You don't want to miss our guest speaker, Randy Reed. Randy is the owner of Reed Mariculture, makers of Reef Nutrition foods. To hear him speak is a real treat. He does a great job of making the complicated concept of rolling up omega 3 fatty acids through the marine food chain very easy to...
Hmmmm . . . that's a great idea. We can head to Stan's and get nice high quality FTS. Then I'll blow up it to actual size and replace that black background on my tank with it!
Sorry to hear that Mike. Unfortunately, I have a five gallon bucket full of unexplained deaths just like that. I'll have a frag do nothing for 6 months then errupt into a beautiful colony then RTN over night and look just like that. Usually there is no smoking gun. Everything else in the tank is...
There are varying schools of thought regarding placement and flow. One opinion is that the powerheads should be angled toward each other to create a random flow based on the output of each crashing into each other where they meet. The other thought is to create a rotational flow by having the...
I'm just curious to see how accurate my test kits are. My big concern is that I'm thinking everything is fine and I find out my Nitrates are 150, my Ca is 310 and my Alk 6. I'll run a full battery of tests on the sample I send to see how well my kits and technique compares to their numbers.
