yeah, I had a tank room fire myself. my reactor split a seam and shot water onto an outlet. shorted out a variety of things, breakers etc. smoke puffs and dead equipment...2" of water on the floor...I flipped a breaker back on and puff, more smoke.
With my brain damage, I really didn't know what kind of danger I was in. The fire blackened one of the return lines jsut below the tank. I cam very close to a complete tank drain.

A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

Jon,
How many times are you rinsing your food on RO before feeding? I'm gonna give it a try as I'm having HA issues in my sump.

What I do is soak the ingredients before I make the food. I soak for about a half hour in RO/DI, then rinse with RO/DI.
When I feed, I thaw the food in tank water with vitamins, then I strain it through a very fine shrimp net. This helps a lot IMO. Make sure to back-track through your water supply system too. Check your tap water, your RO, and your RO/DI to make sure you are not doing water chnages with "bad" water. Then look at mechanical filtration. Floss? Carbon getting changed out regularly? Using GFO? Water temp? Die-off like I had with the snails? How old are your lamps? Have they shifted spectrum? Do you need to lower them? And my old favorite, what about a nap? I have my lights go out for an hour in the middle of the lighting period. It takes much longer for algae to ramp up photosynthesis than more advanced life forms, so adding a nap will seriously mess with the HA's ability to prosper.

Seriously though, there's merit to what you are saying. Wouldn't work in my case, as I get heaps of natural light all day. |

Nothing wrong with a motorized shade. Easy to do.

Okay. Programmed a 1+1/2 hour nap for the sump. 8 hours of total photo-period, 4 + nap + 4 hours. Lights, 2 X 39w T5's, were old, just replaced 2 and will have 2 more new ones next week although this has been an ongoing problem and not sure it relates to a lamp shift.
Will start soaking/rinsing all food in RO/DI and change over to nori after the spiralina flakes are gone. I'll let you know how it goes.

Sounds good barry. BTW, be careful about the new lamps!! Either put some egg crate under them or raise them up, otherwise your corals will get shocked.
You guys are going to freak when you see my new corals from Ultimate...I don't want them to ship until the 7th, but let me just say...WICKED!!

jnarowe, do you think your dosing sugar had any effect on your dino problem? I've been through a 6 day blackout, another 6 day blackout, I run rowaphos and carbon, I went through an 8 day blackout, with scrubbing the rocks before I started, and on the 6th day, and the damn things are coming back. Haven't tried the sugar dosing, but I'm getting desperate.
