    Time to switch brand

    Never had a problem with the RS kits, In the past few years I migrated to the Hannah systems as, during my degrees, my most hated thing in the world was titration. I refuse to have it part of a hobby. In running Salifert and Red Sea, then comparing to Hannah, its all within the same range, but I...

    Thoughts on this light

    In working as a Photoshop professional for 15 years, I tend to think the advertising image may just be mildly manipulated. Now, I know that those not proficient in the fine computer arts may not be aware, but the size and angle of the lighting unit over the tank is very slightly, but still...

    What is ur ,, Dream Car

    Grandpa Al Lewis all the way baby. Remember back in the early 90's(?) while hopping punk clubs we bumped into him outside his restaurant. He chatted with us a bit, torched up a cigar, told a few stories and killed 20 minutes having fun with a bunch of wandering half drunk punks. Endearing and...

    Using 2 inkbirds here on 2 tanks. One, heater and cooler, running 1 year. One, heater function only, going on 3 years. No problem with either, and on the occasions I check the temps are within 0.2 - 0.4 of manual readings (which admittedly are done with a Weber steak thermometer (best manual...

    Light in tank

    Yeah, as said, salt water corrodes solder over time like Alien's blood.

On the defective unit I completely shut the line down and it still kept 'dry' cycling through till the next morning. So new one is good and producing RODI like mad (seriously, its insane, I may...

    probably a dumb q....

    Grew phyto for a while and f2 was the 'go to' food. Do some research as the standard garden grow stuff in the yellow bottle work just as well (nitrates, phosphates, carbon as Mark mentioned)- Miracle Grow liquid I think it was. After I ran out of my initial f2 I tried it - it wworked wonders and...
