    Interesting example, "Debacle", could you elaborate? > barryhc :)

    Let's Talk About ~Algae Control~

    > I would be very careful about claiming that "string algae" is the same thing as "hair algae", in the reefkeeping "nomenclature". I have had both. Crabs and snails eat hair algae, but they won't touch "string algae", or the "hair algae" that is growing in "it". If this is a mistake I'll be...

    Let's Talk About ~Algae Control~

    Yes, it does make sense, and the skimmer problem certainly wasn't helping. So the "algae( bloom ) cycle" is reduced, or gone now as well? I agree on the real time, and maybe a bit touchier earlier on, but now you're settled in? I probably have too many crabs in mine, by mistake, and some may...

    I see that my favorite fish is no longer your Avatar. I'm sure you have helped "Acrylic300" immensely. > Wave98 :)

    Let's Talk About ~Algae Control~

    If you feed your fish, the "janitors" should have adequate food. If you have "too many" janitors, some will die from starvation, but you will have an equalibrium. Keep your tank stable, and progress slowly, your creatures will be happier for it. > Wave98 :)

    Plenums and the wasting "option"

    It appears that interest in this thread is "waning". If no more interest is noted, then it will pass. Thanks to all who contributed. > Wave98 :)

    Plenums and the wasting "option"

    Well Mike, I hear you, but again: You are looking at "wasting the plenum", fairly infrequently, like once every 3 mos. last I heard, so you are not going to "force" any "downflow" by "wasting", except for once every 3 mos.. I have some concerns about how that affects the health of the...

    Plenums and the wasting "option"

    You're welcome Tinman, and welcome to RF! Well, you could try that, and it might work to some degree, but I'm concerned that 6" of "fine grain sand" is eventually going to promote "channeling". If, you can keep that 6" of "sand" at a fairly consistent depth like not less than 4" anywhere, it...

    Message from a Dah Idiot.

    Most of the new generation of "auto techs" are likely to scrap the engine if their diagnostic hook-up is incorrect, and although you would expect them to actually use these for their reef tank in an attempt at recycling, it is more likely that they would go back to "grandaddies" telescoping...

    Let's Talk About ~Algae Control~

    Hi Nikki, This will sound like a BB VS Substrate "spark or spear", but it isn't. I am really just curious. ;) Uncontrolable algae heh? How many snails, and "no crabs"? What do you mean by "competition"? Are you talking about competition for the Nitrate and P, like Xenias, clams, algae (...

    Are you using these surgical type auto"matic" gloves yourself Don? I'm going to go down tomorrow, and get a pair, just to be safe. > Wave98 :)

    The Plumbing and Water flow Workshop

    Gosh, The OM with "plan", plus the Tunzes sounds mighty good. I'm working on a similar sized system, but not BB. If you're looking to "dump" the OM stuff ( and or the "non-pressure rated" pump ), let me know. :D Sounds to me like you've got it! ;) > Wave98 :)

    Message from a Dah Idiot.

    Geeze! I bought some of those gloves about 3 months ago, and I used them a few times, because I thought I was being careful about hurting the animals. They turned out to be quite a "pain" sometimes when dealing with smaller items, rocks, critters, whatever, so I quit using them and kept my hands...

    Hey Ruth, pressure ratings huh? Well, I checked around a bit, but could not find a Mfgs. site for "Sequence". Plenty of vendors though with good technical informaton, but no "pressure ratings" or "pressure rated" status to be found. :cry: However, a pump like your Hammerhead, that's rated at...

    Gosh Scooty, I already had lunch, and it's salad for dinner! :D Some of the rest of you might want to actually use some accurate flow information, but to each his own. Hey, cut once, and don't bother measuring at all! :lol: And i thought comedy central was good! > Wave98 :)

    Myths....?

    God Scooty, that is some sense you have there! That is kind of like a fission reactor feeding the "control rods"! My side is hyurting so bad, I just have to "bow out" for the evening! :rolleyes: :eek: Thanks again all! :lol: :lol: > wave98 :)

    Well, actually, I did try it and see, and you are right about using the math properly. You might want to try it some time. :cool: This is really hilarious, but if you really want to try it, then hook up whatever pump etc. with a 1" dia. outlet, and fill up a bucket while timing it. Now put on...

    Yep, I read it all from the beginning, and it it is a particularly important thread. A lot of very good information in here too! ;) ooPS! Firstly, I am certianly not out to get you "Scooty", and no, my ego is actually smaller than some other part of my anatomy. But heh; Let,s get some of...
