I have 2 planks. One feeds SF Bay brand freeze dried mysis (larger size) with a splash of Reef Jerky (smaller). The other feeds pellets, about 3/4 TDO medium, plus whatever else I have, which varies. 2 planks because the dried mysis feeds relatively slowly and the pellets faster. Like the...

Kind of a sidetrack, but auto Mg testing is more useful to detect changes in salinity than Alk testing. Alk can vary hour by hour and is affected by many things besides salinity. Whereas Mg is quite steady and is almost entirely dependent on salinity, short of some other catastrophe, which of...

I think Walnut Creek hot is similar to Las Vegas hot. Above 90F all summer, often 100F+, occasionally 110F. Not unusual for us to beat out Death Valley. Depends more on if your garage has southerly exposure and insulation. Mine never gets as hot as it is outside in the summer, but not unusual to...

That’s a useful reminder to the rest of us, since I store most of my reefing supplies in the garage and it can get hot

I would not be able to work with what looks to be a small space between the top of the sump tank and the stand above it. You mentioned the fleece roller can only be added with the pulled sump out… which means it can only be removed or fixed or replaced or etc by draining the sump and removing...

Not sure if I was understanding your reference to isotonic fluids in hospitals, but seawater is definitely not used for that, it is synthetic and very simple compared to seawater. And by definition isotonic means not diluted, so it is used to expand the blood volume, for example in people whose...

Just my personal opinion, but I’d rather not have the tours video recorded and publicly posted. I think it ruins the spontaneous and personal offline nature of the in person event. If we decide to do that I’ll probably just not attend (or watch the video).

Looking forward to it!

They lose arm tips if you look at them funny. Not necessarily the case that your tank isn’t suitable. And especially not the case that another tank will be better.

The excuse seems fishy The tanks/systems are awesome!

Did you print the housings yourself or buy them? From where?

You are probably right, though in their documentation they specifically say orthophosphate is what is measured in test kits and they say you use their ratio with test kit numbers, I think.

If you were asking me; Say nitrate is 5 mg/L and phosphate is 0.05 mg/L (units are as it comes off our tests). The FM ratio is 100, which is dead-on their target ratio. Converted to molar ratio (N : P instead of nitrate : phosphate), you multiply by 1.53 = molar ratio of 153, which is higher...

Charles @CharlesJohns58 can clarify for us if he’d like to. My take was: (hobby nitrate in mg/L) % (hobby phosphate in mg/L) X 1.53. Want value to be 50-100. It’s possible I’m missing something?

From what I’ve read from FM, they recommend target of 100:1 without the molar correction factor (just ratio of the mg/L numbers like we get when we test). So for example 3 mg/L nitrate and 0.03 mg/L ortho-phosphate would be perfect to them (yes they recommend those relatively low absolute...

There’s a straightforward way of making sure everyone uses your own reagent if what you really care about is safety and quality. Just sell the reagent at cost, cheaper than it would be worth any 3rd party to sell it for so that the reagents are not part of the revenue stream, just the unit is...

Nice offering!

I would like a frag of this one. @rye22, @psidriven, @JVU, have requested a frag. This post was automatically created by BARcode

Awesome Tu

The ones I got from my BC battle box were lame and I just threw them out after growing them for a while. So I wouldn’t beat yourself up Mike.
