    Durso's Way to loud! how to dial in?

    Could you orient us to the pictures? It is a mess of PVC and I can't tell what is drain, what is return and what is closed loop.

    Durso's Way to loud! how to dial in?

    dialing in two dursos can be difficult. The key is, everything has to be dialed in on one side before adjusting the other - so you are half way there. If the one side is quiet, try to not adjust that one and focus only on the second one. Try and make sure the pipe is the same height and to...

    Gate valve?

    I was wondering if anyone knows if John Guest makes a Gate valve? I have a ballvalve set up on my calcium reactor and it is not fine enough. If they do not, anyone have any other ideas for something that fits 1/4" tubing? Mat

    BEST Way to Remove Phosphates

    As mentioned above, eliminating the source of phosphates should be first on the list. Don't over feed, wash/thaw frozen food, avoid flake food, skim well and of course, RO water. The phosban reactors run phosban or rowaphos - they work well. Mat

    whats Randy talking about?

    the "t-test" is shorthand for a "Students t-test," named after a guy named Student (not after all those people studying). The principle of the t-test is to look at two groups and decide if the average between them is statistically different. The "p" value is a variable that gets calculated...

    not phosphate removers again!!!

    Wow, $50 for 400 grams. How much do you use at a time for each 100gal of tank and how long does it last? That is a lot even if it lasts 4x as long or works for 4x the volume of tank water.

    not phosphate removers again!!!

    I also tried the Phosar and was unimpressed. After 6 months I went back to phosban. Maybe this one will be better/less expensive/magical. Mat

    hard coral, not sure of species

    You know jeff, I looked at your pic today after we discussed the coral. From the pictures it looks like you have a former corals exoskeleton with purple coraline algae growing over the top of it. The coraline may be receeding due to the change to your new tank. It looks like it may have been...

    Quietest Evap Fans

    Ebay links are not working. I would recommend purchasing computer fans. 120mm fans for the biggest air movement. You can look on Newegg and pick the ones with the lowest dB rating. Most are reasonably priced and some are effectively silent. Then wire them into a DC power source. Mat

    Bob Moore from Bellevue

    I also had not ever met Bob, but it sounds like he was a great guy and a true loss to the club. As I look over my own tank, I have 2 or 3 bluish/green stags with blue tips. I wonder if they came from his in a round-about way. Who else has some of this from Bob? I love that his legacy lives...

    Tunze Wavebox...

    I think you have to have the right tank for it as well. If the tank does not have the appropriate room at the top, the water can splash out of the tank.

    Mrs Wages

    There is really no science to it. The more you add, the less often you will need to dump it out and replace the pickling lime. If you only add a few tablespoons, then it will only last a limited amount of time. That being said, you should avoid adding the sediment that settles out into the...

    BRA fragger glue (Honey)

    so would it work okay to apply underwater? Most of my rock is not easily removeable from the tank and so I often end up gluing in the tank. Would that work okay? Mat
