    Birds nest bleaching and GSP closed?

    My GSP normally wont open if something in the tank has changed dramatically. I would do 20-40% WC every few days vs every day. More than likely something got into the tank somehow.

    Sodium nitrate

    WOOT! Thanks for coming in and setting us all down the right path. Now that you show the math it all makes since. The issue for me always is not knowing how to ask or not knowing what to ask to get to the end result. You showing us this will help in the long run when I need to do something like...

    Sodium nitrate

    It looks like to me from everything I found when looking this up that it is done when you are growing clams or for anemone's... Maybe a fishless clam tank? I have no issues with keeping my nitrates high though =/ lol

    Sodium nitrate

    I found this... "1.8g of NaNO3 with give you a 7ppm increase of nitrate in 190L (50 US gallons) of water." from here. Sodium nitrate - The Free Freshwater and Saltwater Aquarium Encyclopedia Anyone Can Edit - The Aquarium Wiki

    Sodium nitrate

    1g / 1L will be close to 1000ppm for your solution.... then if you add 10ml of that solution to 100L your will have a PPM of nitrates close to 1 after a single dose. Correct me if I am wrong.... Saying that if you dumped in the whole L to the 100L you will have a nitrate reading of 10ppm. If I...

    Who has Phytoplankton

    So awhile back I know a few people were growing there own phyto, and I was wondering if anyone had some they could pass along so I could also start growing..... plus I'm also out.

    chaeto?

    Its a plant... plants need light. If you planning on using it as a bio filter to remove nitrates then it needs a lot of light.

    75G build

    I used the 1-2-3 as a square for setting the sides of the box together then as a weight to hold the box in place as the silicone dried.

    Tank pump control and maybe more...

    Well since this I used a different ballast but I am working on programing the controller to run the timing for the MH lights. After adding the MH lights the tank growth has went crazy though.

    Ps sump scrubbing?

    The skimmer wont filter out everything so after the skimmer is fine. I let the hair grow, after my change in lights I started seeing it in my display but im lucky to have a yellow tang that eats anything plant like, so I don't mind it. In the sump growth is fine.

    Raising salinity slowly?

    lol, yeah but maybe a 10gal? You have to look at it this way. For me I have to add 1/2 - 3/4 of a gallon a day so for me to have a 1-5g topoff it would be pointless because im still filling up the ATO every other day. You need a reservoir that will be enough to at least give you a break more...

    Raising salinity slowly?

    For me I use a 30gal trash can for ATO and this last me 3 weeks, all you need for a basic setup is a float switch, relay, 12v power supply, a pump, and some wiring knowledge if you plan on DIY. If your not comfortable with the DIY then BRS sells a ready to use system and a kit.

    Raising salinity slowly?

    Yeah defiantly do not do that, bad things WILL happen.

    Raising salinity slowly?

    depending on how much evaporation your have you could top off with a LOW salinity water and this over time will bring it up. I on the other hand just did what you said. kept mixing my water a little over what I wanted it at and it came up to 1.026 where I now keep it. In the end there are many...

    Ideas for blocking overlow

    it was $3 for a roll and then the smaller mesh was $9. I don't need the whole roll as well but I'm sure I can find a use for it sometime.

    Shrinking Cheato

    What color is the bulb you have over it? Plants need a 6500k bulb not a 10000k or a normal 2700k.
