Does anyone know who carries gray sched 40 pvc around the north nj area?

It a matter of getting comfortable with : " if x then turn an outlet on or off" So if ph is greater the 8.5 then turn off the doser. Each outlet is named something you give it. Post here and I'm sure we can help.

You can also set the audible alarm to beep when the pH is too high/low and/or send a txt or email.

The method discussed is to match your QT salinity to the shipping water. So it's a temp acclimation in the closed bag and then place the fish directly in the QT, you then raise/lower it slowly during the QT period. Different methods to serve different people, methodologies and options I...

I thought the thinking was 30 mins should be the maximum time to acclimate when fish are shipped, given the ammonia starts to rapidly build due to the ph raising. Quote from RC: "Fish do all of their biological processes in the water; breathing off CO2 (lowers pH) and eliminating waste...

Happy Birthday. Will be watching to see if there are any reef related gifts you may be getting.

It depends on what salt you use.... j/k - IMHO I really can't see any advantage / disadvantage with either, but I'm sure people will debate it for days (like which salt is best). I guess the idea is a reverse flow, is that the water column is pushed up, avoiding potential dead spots. I...

That's how I understand it. The common problem is crashing ones tank with dumping too much Alk in too fast, so this set up would hopefully protect it from happening.

I hope I get this correct, going from memory (which is not that great). Some use the ph monitor to measure the effluent and will turn on and off the Co2 Regulator accordingly. So set a control to 6.5Dkh and if it goes lower then turn off the co2. This accommodates for the regulators not...

I did a ton of reading on setting up and dialing in a reactor as I will be using one on my upgrade. The common problem people have is controlling the bubble rate which leads to all sorts of issues. The AP's reactor is pretty pricey but I didn't find one person who switched or set it up whom...

just in case your wondering, when people generally speak of the best this is unanimously the winner : http://www.aquariumplants.com/CarbonDoser_Electronic_Co2_Regulator_p/co2.htm

It's called Wire Loom http://www.amazon.com/Drossbach-Wire-Loom-Package-White/dp/B002KB5LOM/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1399164069&sr=1-1&keywords=white+wire+loom

This looks great. Just an thought - maybe run the wires to the corners and then down, I've seen white cable organizer wraps at home deport before. Having the wires run down the corners would be less distracting to the eye IMHO.

Didn't you also get a Apex? You can get the module to control the AI. But you'll have to program it.

I would not chase pH, you can probably use a bit more KH I shoot to keep it at 9, which will probably raise the pH, my tank is very low on the pH scale but growth and color is good.

Here are 2 quick pictures. Not use to using tapatalk, so not sure on quality.

Well it's been awhile since posting on this upgrade thread, but things have been moving slowly, but hope to pick up some speed soon. Sorry for the brain dump posting.... First- on my trip to Hong Kong and Fish Street. Sorry nothing earth shattering to report. Places were very much against...

The nano doesn't have a optical sensor, only a float switch. I run kalk so I clean mine 1 a year with vinegar.

I would post on their forum on RC. The guy Roger is pretty responsive. Note that tomorrow is a holiday (Monday) for most of the world. Did you check that the float switch is still working, they tend to be the weak link. You can use a continuity meter to test it.

Just an FYI for those who picked one of these up. I successfully drill one side of the tank (40 breeder) yesterday. Maybe just the bottom is tempered.
