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.
I think there's some humor here between a sunken-ship-in-an-aquarium and an aquarium-in-a-sunken-ship.
But I can't come up with a punch line. Help me...
I found out about it pretty quickly and posted my request for the new reagents just as quickly. Mr. Saltwater Tank (on SaltwaterAquarium.com) posted his 2nd review of the checker two months ago. Here's the sad news he posted:
This dish certainly interests my palate. Where can I get one with Italian Prosciutto? (Somehow good paninis are getting harder to find where I am, and I'll take what I can get.)
I had two of them once, forty-odd years ago. I had a nice blue carpet anemone in the tank with them. I got the carpet from a fellow "mixed tank" keeper (as vert & invert tanks were known before anyone had "reef tanks"). He was cleaning out his inverts so he could copper his tank.
Anyway...
WOO HOO!!! I got my replacement magnesium test kit in the mail today! They replaced the whole Checker test kit, not just the reagents.
It came with an apology and a discount on my next order...
All things said, it's nice to see a company standing behind their product.
Location? (For possible future reference.)
I've recently hit zero phosphates and zero nitrates using a 120W scrubber (Ice Cap) and an odd DIY Chaeto filter. For better or for worse, I'm also looking to run an automated Nannochloropsis culture with the algae output going into my main system. I...
Your kalk reactor is probably flat bottomed. I'm inclined to believe that the funnel shaped bottoms (or 2L soda pop round bottoms) of are preferable because gunk shouldn't collect in either. That said, when searching for Aqua Medic Plankton reactors this past weekend, I actually came across a...
While searching for the perfect soda bottle, I remembered I had one of these Aqua Medic reactors that I picked up used many years ago. Looking at it again, it occurred to me that it was just a tall skinny bottle. It would need similar fixings to those needed by the ((FORDTECH)) design. The...
Looking for one or two Aqua Medic Plankton reactors, preferably those without the fluorescent light.
Here's a link to what it looks like:
Plankton Reactor - Aqua Medic (DISCONTINUED)
I wouldn't be happy with your reported pH levels. Suggest you validate them with some other pH test kit(s).
If they actually are that low, I'd consider dosing Kaltwasser. Just don't dose the kalk as a top-off water replacement - dose a fixed amount daily that is less than your daily top off...
My algae filtration has been a little too much for my system. I've been getting 0 ppm measurements (Phosphorus Hanna Checker) for my phosphates and the same 0 ppm measurements (Hi Range Hanna Checker) for my nitrates. I'm currently using Sea Chem's Flourish to boost my phosphates and...
Suggest you offer free beer (and maybe even some free hot barbeque) for your recruits! You might even consider billing the occasion as an NJRC gathering! GLWM! (Good Luck With Move!)
