    Unwelcomed growth

    in General Discussion

    For what it's worth, I used white eggcrate from Lowes for a frag rack in my tank and always had cyano and algae problems. I got a square of the black stuff that BRS sells and have had no algae or cyano. Weird. Boffins online suspect that the eggcrate at the hardware store comes in two polymers and that the PVC one is fine but the polystyrene (or whatever the other is) one isn't and grows stuff. /shrug

    Interesting! Thanks, Alan.

    Regular cyano disappears after a couple days of ChemiClean, but not this stuff. No other signs of funky. Seems to REALLY like the white egg crate. I guess I’ll do a large water change.

    Algae identification?

    in General Discussion

    Okay... so I'm going to run chemipure again, NOPOX dose, Siphon everything off, do a lights out period for as long as I possibly can without killing my corals, and do a large water change.

     

    How long can I keep the lights out?

    If you bring that clown over, in sending ya home with chemiclean. It’ll be gone in two days.

    It's ok. Don't worry. I claim sabotage last night by telegraham as the glue didn't hold :)

    I had to fish for it and glue it back on the plug. It started opening back up, so now we all have one polyp.

    Hi, all. I'm running a Fluval Spec III with a Kessil A80. The tank was my quarantine system until yesterday. I use the water from my 45 gallon display to fill this and the 10 gallon/OceanRevive setup behind. I will perform 50% water changes in the Fluval weekly (maybe). In the Fluval lives some seasoned Marine Pure balls and carbon/filter pads. In the display (again the water source), I dose kalk separately from RODI ATO, NOPOX somewhat daily, some KZ products (bak and food), and the Red Sea Coral Colors line. I'll use Red Sea Reef Energy occasionally.

     

    I'm here to learn and have some fun. Let's go!

     

    Thanks for setting this up, Mari!

    APC that doesn't beep

    in General Discussion

    Was it a beep or was it the inverter whining? Another question...when the UPS was had the constant tone, was it generating power? An overloaded UPS can whine constantly. Normally, they won't be providing AC at the time.

     

    I have several UPS units in my house that allow the beeping to be disable via software. Check that, and use fresh batteries. Confirm with a Kill A Watt outlet that you're not exceeding the output power of the UPS. Lastly, use fresh batteries. Fresh (less than two years) gel lead acid may be a better choice for indoor use.
