    Meeting

    Thanks for replies...............
  3. I was unable to attend the last meeting. I believe the guest speaker was going to speak on peroxide dosing in the aquarium. Anyone care to summarize what was said? Thanks
  4. Looks nice. How high are your lights mounted?
  5. Trying your method..........................shut the lights down and starting dosing Peroxide Friday night. Turned lights on briefly today the check progress, Dinos are gone (day 3), frags losing color as expected. Will continue treatment for the next Two (2) days and do a water change. Hope this works as this is my second attempt in the last Two (2) months. First treatment was with Dino X. Cleared up but returned.
  6. Yeah.......................my Mother-in-Law paid $5K plus install for 20KW.
  7. Depends on the size and how often it runs. Paid $1700 for a Generac 17KW plus an additional & 1500 for the install, got a good deal on it. Runs about 15-20 mins. one day a week to keep the battery charged. A tune-up runs around $20-$30 bi-yearly, which I do myself that consists of changing out the air filter, plugs and oil. Got after the Derecho. Pepco upgraded the power system and it came on once, maybe twice since I got it. Before the system upgrade we would lose power if the wind blew hard.
  8. Is there some type of correlation between Dinos and LEDs? Never had them when I was running MH's.
  9. Have bout 7 pieces of SPS, 3 Tangs and a Butterfly fish with several snails..............all is well.........for now.
  10. Just finished a battle with dino's. A 48 hr. blackout followed by dino x treatment beat it........................................for now.
  11. There's some good info here: http://gmacreef.com
  12. Constantly..........sometimes we don't receive mail for a day or two. Once I was waiting on a package via USPS, tracking info stated that it was delivered. I go to the local PO and ask that they investigate. Was told by the clerk that tracking info states that the package was delivered to my address. I stated that not only did I not receive the package, there was no mail delivered that day and that I was home all day. She stated, "Well maybe you went out." What? I said maybe it was delivered to the wrong address. She says, "Even if it was, it's considered a good delivery." I ask to speak with a supervisor who reiterated what the clerk said as it being a "good delivery." Long story short, I spoke to the regular mail person who stated that she left early that day and that she would track it down for me. An hour later she shows up with the package and says, "Not only was it delivered on the wrong street, it was also the wrong hundred block."

  14. Reef Crystals yields higher Ca and Alk numbers.
  15. Yeah but...................the Wife doesn't see it that way
  16. Yes you can buy replacement braces. In fact, I just sold the one I had on Saturday night......the night before I noticed the damage. I've had the brace for about a year and couldn't give it away.......
  17. Wonder if using some type of glue/adhesive (JB Weld) will help to prevent additional spreading/breakage?
  18. 400W Metal Halides........................do to the configuration of the basement/ductwork lights are aprox. 9"-10" above the tank. perhaps it's time to think about LEDs.
  19. Purchased this 220 less than a year ago and the top brace is already failing.
