    Phosphates and nitrates

    Haha yeah I have a bunch of hermits that are good with the algae on rocks. They keep the rocks super clean and keeping them from having any chance for algae to grow. But I do need to get some more snails that go on the tank glass I have a bunch of Nassau’s snails but they always stay in the sand...

    Phosphates and nitrates

    Yeah I’m not using a c02 scrubber, thankfully my ph ranges from 8.3 to a low 8 throughout the day. Okay I think I have that light running 10 hours after lights go off. Maybe that’s a little too long huh? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Phosphates and nitrates

    I just checked in with a Hanna rep and told him about the situation, he said that if the water did not turn pink when adding the second powdered reagent then that means I have really low to none nitrates. So maybe I need to turn off my protein skimmer, shorten the time for my fuge light and...

    Phosphates and nitrates

    What’s the best way to remove it. I have vibrant and macrobactor. I want to go ahead and manually remove it during a water change, but don’t want to spread it all over the place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Phosphates and nitrates

    Yeah i also do have a protein skimmer, that could make perfect sense the algae and skimmer could be consuming all of it. I just went ahead and ordered the Salifert nitrate test and the Nyos phospahate test kit. I will double verify. Do not need any dinos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Phosphates and nitrates

    Hi so today I tested my water with my nitrate and phosphates low range Hanna checkers due to seeing some hair algae develop on my glass wall specially on my mp10 and back wall. So upon checking they both are saying zero. I used the nitrate checker today for the first time and had to you tube the...

    Salinity Hanna checker

    so I received my Hanna salinity checker, I calibrated and everything. So when I went and check it my salt was higher than what my apex is saying. I usually sit at 34.5 but Hanna checker fluctuated all over and ended up at 38. Do I need to do without flow? Anybody has experienced this?

    Pissed off at PG&E

    See the area by 280 San Mateo area most of that is state property. They are supposed to be handling the trimming near our power lines because there is protective species or something like that. I check the gas transmission lines and we have to ask for permission to go on to certain area to...

    Pissed off at PG&E

    Yeah the Geneva substation is distributing most of our power that comes over the hill from south San Francisco. One of the main reasons why we have a lot of cables, telephone and power lines on the poles is because there is so much leftover line and pipes from years ago that the city of San...

    California is also at fault too for not Maintaining their part of tree trimmings, I know we have a responsibility to do that. There is a tons of private land that we aren’t allowed to go in to. Honestly I hate the media and blamed them for a lot of the hate. They were just hammering us and half...
