Great idea. I evaporate about 2 gal a day so that should work well. Thanks for the idea.

Doc

Do you think the quick drop in Salinity will cause any problems. I'm afraid to run it back up too quick and double whammy everone.

Jared

My Alk was running at 10.6 and I've gradually brought it down to 9.4. My cal was 380-400 and now at 430. Reading that quote makes me wonder, should I leave my Alk alone and let it stay up...

Doc, I think the old saying is true. Never be too quick to point the finger at someone else until you are sure you are not the problem yourself. I had a long dicussion with the super geeks here at...

Looks good Ken. Did you break down the clown tank and move everybody to the big tank?

An Almost Disaster

Got home tonight and as always, got my fish food together and went to the tank. Shut off all the pumps like normal and fed away. When I finish, I usually look at the sump level with pumps off to...

Agree Doc, but I just want to make sure, if I get a new one it's not something in "my" wiring that's causing the problem. I will take a good look at eveything this weekend and if I can't find...

These are on magnetic ballast. I may be pushing the limit on the line. The fixture total is 1085 watts, but I don't know if anything else in the house is using that line. Got to do a little...

That is probably going to be the answer. There are a couple of things the super geek techs want me to try. If they don't make a difference, then it's got to be a bad soder weild or a socket...

I have swapped the ballast around as well as the light bulbs. That's what has us baffled. It doesn't matter what combination I use, it's always the same location that burns dim. Plus, it doesn't...

Burns dim on any of the ballast. It seems to be that location vice the bulb or ballast connected to it.

Ideas on a Dim Halide

If you guys remember, I put a new fixture on my system a couple of months ago, had a 250 HQI that was burning dim and Marine Depot replaced it for me. Since then, the new bulb has started burning...

Crabs are after one of two things, food or a new home. If you have extra larger empty shells in the tank for the crabs to grow into, that should keep them from stealing snail shells for a home. If...

Niceville, on my TDS is 114-125 going in. Ted tells me that FWB where he is is 245 going in. That's definitely a little trashy.

It's too much for my needs, but what the hell, bigger is better....right?

I was actually agreeing with the Mag 9.5. Put a ball vavle on it and you can adjust the flow down if need be.

I really wouldn't suggest the Mag9.5 for the return on a tank that size

I'm using a Barracuda (4600 gph) for my return pump and it works berry berry nice. :D

I would go with as big a pump as you are happy with and put a ball valve on it to reude the flow "if...

I'm running it in a second Phosban reactor. It gets changed this weekend anyway so I'll watch for "perkiness". Phosban gets changed out also this week. I'll see how it looks.
