Flow is very much individual. I like stronger flow because I claim it keeps cyano away, and other stuff which might accumulate on the sand or rocks. But you will see your corals not opening up properly if you have too much flow. The ones you want to keep certainly prefer less flow so one Nero...

I believe he lives far away. So possibly some expense involved getting to the swap?

Not great if your eyesight is not good. Specifically if I let it float in a large Brute container. Hard to read. But peerless except for expensive conductivity meter. I wish the club would buy one and bring to the swap and let people test their salinity - it would be eye opening for many. And...

@JVU - are you using two of these?

I’m currently using an Aquatic Life under-sink water filtration system for my drinking water. My source water measures 32 TDS, and after filtration, it’s still 29 TDS—so it’s time for an upgrade. I’d like to switch to a standard reverse osmosis (RO) system. My current setup does not appear to...

Most people here do not test their water, I do - this is all you need to know: Alk - Hanna Nitrate - Hanna High Range Phosphate - Hanna ULR CA / MG - Salifert Salinity - Tropic Marin Hydrometer (unfortunately) (Just joking - everybody is testing their water diligently)

Wow, that is a nice offer.

I tend to often disagree, but not this time.

It looks like the whole section is for supporting members only, hence my question - see headline for the section.

Let’s assume she/he does not want to continue. As non-member, where would this need to be posted, to make sure fish find a good home, since non-members have no access to the PIF section?

Reality is (hopfully), that this was a false alarm, and that the catalytic carbon does its job. DI is not used up a lot at all, so there is no impact, the only thing I am unclear about is if there could be an issue with the two membranes.

I have already become a plumber, a carpenter, a cleaner, a biologist, a chemist, a veterinarian just to survive in this hobby. Digging a well crosses the line :).

There is a lot of learning from doing this for 5 months already, which you would benefit from if you continue trying. We can collectively make every tank work in this club. My advice, become a member, setup a journal with your tank details and your challenges, and you will receive more help than...

Nice. Does it come with the crab :).
