    That sucks. But it's still some of it alive. Is the green algae new?

    I did get a answer about my issue with hard salt. This is what they said: Hello Martin, Thank you for contacting us. Salt is salt so it doesn’t really “go bad” per se. However, the salt that is rock hard, will be very difficult to get to mix properly. It can be done, but you will need to...

    I'm sure a year isn't bad. Speaking to that, I just picked up some salt recently. Didn't notice anything until a few days later, but when I looked closer at the open box, the bags were really yellow and the salt was hard as a rock. Same with the closed box. seems the salt was 4-5 years old. So I...

    Wtb pumps

    I asked him in the thread how much he wanted for it shipped to Seattle and he sent me a private message and said $250 shipped. I also saw a Fluval SP6 for sale new for $180. It's not a reeflo style pump, but can be plumbed external and is 3000+ gph.

    If you ever decide to change out the pump, then the Vectra L1 or M1 would be a awesome choice. I have the L1 for my closed loop and a M1 for my return pump. Both pumps together running and you really have to listen to hear anything above my skimmer pump and water noise.

    It may seem like a never ending money pit, and in a way it is. But you will get to a point when all the big ticket items are bought. Once that's done, then you figure out a budget of what you can spend per week or month. If a bigger something comes up, then it's all about saving/stashing the...

    Seems like too much bother. I see people talking about it every once in a while. I think Randy even spoke to the issue a few years ago and I don't think there was a definite conclusion about it. But the general consensus was it was harmless.

    Flow design for my 240

    Picture is kind of dark, but it's just a black 1-1/2" pvc tee coming out of the bulkhead with a strainer on each side of the tee. Everything is slip fit and not glued.

    I clean mine out every few water changes too. Coats my mixing pumps too. I've read about that issue with RC for a while now.

    Flow design for my 240

    On my closed loop on 233, I had OBD do four 1" return holes and one 1-1/2" suction hole in the back wall.

    I don't think so.

    I doubt the residue left over in a mixing bucket from RC has anything to do with anything on the sand. My sand bed does take on a darker look between water changes too, and I siphon my sand and it's all white for a while. But on mine I have bigger chunks od arrogonite plus shells that seem to...

    did you ever figure out if this was cyno?

    I think I would go half and half. Maybe cut back on the dry food.
