You mean the cap with the liquid that you use to store it? I believe it’s just a simple o-ring seal. Twisting gently certainly helps. I finally ponied up for a decent lab grade PH tester, mainly to check my kalk saturation. It’s not stored in SW and seems to be staying fairly well calibrated so...

My alkatronic probe always reads a good bit lower than the main probe, I think it is because the reagent is acidic. Also most hobby PH probes are basically inaccurate and cannot be trusted so you’re just kind of chasing your tail anyway. Sometimes my Milwaukee stays calibrated for a good while...

Yeah to be clear, I think Barcode is super awesome and we are lucky to have it. From an idealists point of view, it is perfect. Realistically speaking, it would be nice to have some improvements to drive adoption. BUT I have some ideas already that would require some work but no significant...

I am interested in an officer position - either supporting frag swaps (helping Josh with bonus lists and swap mechanics) or DBTC or both.

You're the treasurer - open up them coffers and make it rain! We could save some money by not paying for Sirius Satellite radio in the new vehicle, don't forget to opt-out. I am flattered but the entire point of my post was that the updates need to happen to the DBTC tool which is outside my...

I believe that warning is to replace the external tubing - you can get it on Amazon - there are two sizes: Smaller size for the reagent line - 1.6mm ID (1/16") Larger size for the saltwater line - 3.2mm ID (1/8") Make sure to recalibrate after you replace them. I have had mine running for...

This would help too - some forum flair!

I am really excited about DBTC, and I have a bunch of stuff that should hit the market in the next few months (either my own starts or chain completions). A human advocate might help, but the real issues are with the tool itself. There needs to be like a filterable "dashboard" that lets you get...

No, he's been adding them manually - 10 per day, for the last 275 years. Just recently hit the million mark...his life's work, totally ruined by this dose of flatworm exit.

I was going to say the same thing, I think it matters very little. If anything, I'd try to get semi-close to the volume your skimmer is pulling just to make sure you're maximizing that efficiency, but even then it doesn't really matter - just means you could probably get away with a smaller...

Bean Animal came up with the name! Or rather, it is named after him for inventing it I believe.

We should be throwing a Kenny appreciation party instead!

Nice, that’s basically what I did. What’s the red tube for? Are you dosing your kalk at night? I’m kind of undecided between PH stability and a higher floor vs dosing during the day for a higher ceiling. I think generally folks do the former…

Two Little Fishies PouchFeeder... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079YTC3PT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share This thing - uses the same magnets as the clip. Works way better, less mess and waste. Really like these - same idea as the nori cage @Alexander1312 shared above.

I gave one of these to @Turkeysammich recently including all those adapters and stuff. He’s probably still got it all.

Yours is really kicking butt (relatively speaking). What sort of light/flow conditions is it in?

This digi is laughing in my face, it's mocking me and my inability to pull color from an easy weed coral.

Yeah it gets used up in just a few days: https://reefs.com/magazine/granular-activated-carbon-part-2-modeling-of-operational-parameters-for-dissolved-organic-carbon-removal-from-marine-aquaria/ Probably not a lot of harm in leaving it in there (other than maybe it continues to pull out small...

I am actually using an FF3 right now - it's great for the quick daily cleanings. But the magnet is not strong enough (my acrylic is 1" thick) to get the really tough stuff. I've got an F5 on the way this week actually to see how that one does for the more rigorous work. Yeah...I'm kind of...

The lobos in my tank absolutely ZAP anything they touch. Just pick up a cheap lobo and set it upside down on something for 20 minutes, save it for later.
