    Potassium hydroxide for pest control

    2n and 2m are the same, so ordered. If this doesn't burn my skin instantly, I'll let you know. That it is available mixed and ready for our application makes it more useful IMO.

    Potassium hydroxide for pest control

    Yeah, but you would get in trouble for 10% HCL as well and that stuff really doesn't do much to your skin. What is the reality of 2N if you get it on your skin? However if it could really do damage to your skin, I am not a fan for the hobby in general.

    Ecoflow battery w/ Apex EB832

    My system uses an MPP ( not linking because there are better ones now) and a 200ah battery. About 2 grand or 2.5. I did this because I wanted to run some non dc stuff on battery. The tank stuff that gets run by the battery ends up being about 400 watts and I get about 8 hours with it. That 400...

    Potassium hydroxide for pest control

    I take the NaOH precautions seriously, so seriously that I have stayed away from it. How harsh is 2n on people? The 10% stuff I am using makes you slippery, but washes off with no problem. Thanks!

    Potassium hydroxide for pest control

    Thanks for listening! This is the stuff I have been using for concentration info. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B55CLWVN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I started looking this direction because I wanted for see if I could find something that was off the shelf that...

    Lowering phosphate

    Morning! It looks like my phosphate is currently .3, the lanth I dose ran out a few weeks ago and I missed it. The phosphate was running between .15 and .2. For like the past 6 years I have been dosing lanth at low levels into the skimmer, as well as doing AWC, to see what that does to the...

    New 3D Printed Frag Tile Optimizes Coral Larval Settlement (Article)

    There are a million papers that seem to find what planula prefer to settle on - there was one that showed they perfered red substrates - so it is really had to know if there is anything consistent yet.

    (Zoom) Call with Fauna Marin CEO Claude Schumacher (if there is interest)

    The AI stuff seems interesting, but again, the info about it doesn't seem transparant.

    (Zoom) Call with Fauna Marin CEO Claude Schumacher (if there is interest)

    Claude is a tough one to have this kind of conversation with- though I like him very much. He, and Hans, often say they have stuff to support what they are saying, but then often supply something that isn't supporting what they are claiming. That kind of discussion gets tiring!

    How to glue acro colonies to rocks - looking for advice

    The smear dosen't prime the surface as well, but it can work. A nitrile glove works great for the priming if you don't wanna get any glue on your finger!

    high phosphate

    I ran my system at that or higher for years, and there weren't any issues. Why do you want to lower it? Water changes are not a good way to lower phosphate, specially at that low level. Phosphate can often bounce up after a quick lowering as it can be sequestered in all kinds of substrate. If...

    Trident service turn around time

    Call them. They have merged support teams and changed offices. I would stay on top of them.

    BOLUS vs. Kalkwasser

    All alk suppliments used to be dosed as a bolus before there were accurate and affordable and programmable peri pumps - except for the folks that did DIY gravity drips. I squint at most of what Hans and Claude say because they never seem to have documeted results to back it up, they say that...

    Addressing bacterial infections in corals (protocol included)

    Got any links that I can see what people are talking about and what they have been doing? If it is really bleaching, it can take months to recover, and additional 'action' can be detrimental. Also, I keep hearing folks say that the bounce is generated by over lighting or UV'ing the mushrooms...

    Addressing bacterial infections in corals (protocol included)

    I don't think it will have an effect on bleached corals, bleaching is not an infection. What am I missing?

    Neptune Trident NP and new DOS!

    I hate hanna checkers, and am using them becuase that is what the NSI wanted. I bought my checkers a year or two ago so I could have the same white cane most people in the hobby seem to use, but I hate all nitrate testing* (it is a goofy test the way it works and is really dependent on the...

    Concinced that the trends are good and solid and in the ball park enough for me.
