  1. Just ordered a grounding probe. Is this a gcfi power strip? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LY43BV0/ref=mp_s_a_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1488171896&sr=8-15-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=gfci+power+strip&psc=1 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Nitrate down to 40 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Are these dinos? Do dinos decrease with an 8 hr photo period? These used to be coating every surface but once I decreased the photo period they have slowly peeled off everything/dissolved. The places with higher flow have none. Lower flow areas still have some but I just got two jabeo WP40s so the flow problem will be solved soon. Also does hair algae or bryopsis like high flow?

  4. Changed 10 gallons(of 36) and siphoned the sand for probably the second time ever(in five months). Nitrate is down to somewhere between 40-80. If done with math I'm down to 70(assuming I really started with 100 and not 80-hard to tell red test hues apart) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. How do they kill fish??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. but it seems so fast? Is this the normal rate??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. little clam organism????!? Opens and closes with changes in light or being touched. It used to be on the other side of the tank attached to some rock but it is now here attached to rock... no idea how it moved....... its nestled under the birdsnest. It's also super thin and kind of fan or pizza slice shaped. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. I've made maybe 15 gallons of water max with the DI cartridge on??? Is this the color change? Is it normal? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. That's a good idea. Will flip flops work? Or what about the wooden stepping stool I use to reach my tank because I'm 5' tall? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I've almost given up on not having algae... and it already "kicked off" these are all frags that were moved to the nano tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. The bubbles are underneath the plastic frag rack. The algae is leftover from my other tank. This is the nano. Most of the algae is dying from the decreased photo period. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Wow!! That's so weird. They were sharp just like static shocks but they were the strongest shocks I've ever felt. I never went around licking batteries like some kids... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. No. It's very hard to see, but it is clear/foggy sphere. They have the consistency of a jellyfish but don't seem to have any kind of jellyfish/comb jelly structures and they do not move on their own. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. I had no shoes or socks on. My floor is tile. The trashcan was on a towel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. They are roughly the size of a paint ball but no smaller than a bb. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. I see these occasionally-sometimes attached to the rocks like this one- in the tank but they tend to float into the powerhead and then I don't give them another thought. Know what they are? (They aren't pineapple sponges) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Kind of unrelated- was filling a trash can with rodi and was about to put an unplugged heater into it. The surface of the water shocked me. I heard the spark too. More than your average carpet static shock. Shocked me two more times before it stopped shocking. The only other thing in the trashcan is the rodi tube. Weird? Normal?

  18. Yeah the instructions said that too. I'm using the aquaticlife twist now and it's very intuitive and easy to use. First thing I'm doing when I get home is making water... it's been a bad week. This whole thing, I stepped on a sewing needle yesterday, and I probably just failed a chem exam... at least the weathers nice? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Usually 5-10 gallons at a time. Not much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. It's a 100gpd system so it's 100g/24 hours and instructed me to rinse the ro filter for 30 gallons. It does about 4.2 gallons per hour so it would take about 7 hours to run 30 gallons of water through it. Why is it 30 gallons? It said something about a preservative(not sure)? I'll read it again when I get home. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Well water Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Multi stage and cheapest one I could find on eBay. http://m.ebay.com/itm/110691608751?_mwBanner=1 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Supposedly my water is high in calcium. Moved here before I started the tank. Lots of hardened calcium around the pipes. The water was probably tested for contaminants but I'll test the ammonia just to know. Didn't even get cloudy. (Test kit is not expired, held the droppers vertical, added the only 5 mL water etc) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. The ammonia is the RODI and the nitrate is the tank. Not RODI output. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. Not that I know of? It came with set dates to replace each filter and that's it. My new one has color changing DI resin though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
