Any other BBers notice this?

Since going to a 125 BB, I have noticed that from front to back the water looks just as crystal clear as when I had a sand bed. But, looking through the 6 foot length, I see a haze. Since I don't...

The cyano patch only lasted one day. Today it has gone on its own. I can only assume it was either the vinagar, PH swing or both that caused it. Interesting. And no harm done. :)

I have tested RC at 1400 ppm of Mg. I only tested it once so I'm not sure if the difference between my Mg result and your 1260 ppm was the test kits or the salt batches. That being said I have been...

Can I wire MJ's together

I wanted to wire 2 or 3 MJ 1200 pwr heads together, so that I only use one wall contact. Since they use only 20 watts each, I think its safe. Yes, or no?
