    Can your pH be too high?

    in General Discussion

    I noticed that the doser was off when I came home.    With the house open all day the pH was higher than then limit I set to prevent the doser from overdosing alk.   Is there such a thing as too high?

    I use these two products and mine wasn’t sealed when I got them. Bottles were full so I knew they weren’t a return that someone was using. Been using them for a while and haven’t had any adverse effects emoji106.png

    Great.  Thanks for the info.   

    White worms for food

    in General Discussion

    Surely that would be preferred but somewhere in my "research" either Paul B or David Ramsey (has some great you tube videos) said it was fine and it was getting hard to find just plain potting soil.    I generally wouldn't put bread, yogurt, yeast flakes or cat food in my tank either but here we are.   

    White worms for food

    in General Discussion

    I hope Paul chimes in but I'm just using miracle grow potting soil.    I was pleasantly surprised to see how many worms were in there when I buried the bread and added cat food.   Almost  no action on the surface but many in the soil.  

    Apex temp probe calibration

    in General Discussion

    I would recalibrate it and see depending on what types of redundancies you have in place if it is not going to have any accuracy.   I never did get a high accuracy temp probe (NIST) but used everything I had to measure water temp and averaged those.  Most were really close.   Makes me wonder if recalibration is needed as part of regular maintenance?  

    Getting more WAMAS members

    in General Discussion

    I think that people who are involved in the hobby and spending the equivalent of the GDP of a small nation are okay with spending 20 buck to join.

    Almost all of the reefers I have met, I have met through WAMAS.  It would be a hard sell to get someone who is not a reefer to join.

    Live demos seem like a good idea as I am always looking for ways to be better steward.  

    Apex temp probe calibration

    in General Discussion

    Has anyone calibrated their temp probe?    This time of year I struggle keeping the tank as stable as I would like.   It's cold in the morning and warmer during the day.    So if the heat for the house is on in the morning, the house may get a little too warm by the afternoon.    So I'm looking at my apex and wondering just how accurate the temp is.  I would assume the fluctuation I may see would tell me the degree of change but I really want to know what the actual temp is.    Before I go buying a NIST calibrated thermometer I was wondering if anyone here has one I could borrow for about 5 minutes. 

    Ghost overflow alternative

    in Do It Yourself

    The tank has a huge glass center brace that would have limited maintainace of the internal overflow so I seperated them.   I didnt want to run 2 seperate externals so I had it made long enough to tie both into one.   It seems to be working well thus far.   Tank is cycling now and still have plenty of work to do.    I also had lids made to help prevent creatures from taking a ride to the sump.
