Bought used two years ago. Never touched it till now

Jebao DCS-2000 I have two, one in action in IM 20g, the other as hot swap if need cleaning.

I did press and hold the button so the pump's metal shaft spins. Tubing on the left side of pump is submerged in RODI. There is absolutely no movement of water in the tubing (e.g. the where air and water meets inside the tubing, that pocket air does not move at all as the pump starts spinning)...

I am setting up Bubble Magnus doser BM-T01. Each of the 3 metal rods rotate when on, but no suction of fluid at all. It appears that the rollers assembly inside the pumps (all 3) do not spin with the metal rods rotation. I did open all of them up, put petroleum gel on the rollers. When the...

I would not go with 18” depth. With refraction of water, your tank will look even narrower when viewed from front. Of course less room for rock work is also a concern. I got CDA 150g, 60”x24”x24”, euro braced top and bottom. My sump is TS-44, identical to the picture in the link you sent...

Need to calibrate apex ph pribe for ca reactor. Will fluid by Milwaukee (cheaper) work just as well as Neptune’s? I am yet to set up my apex controller. It should be able to turn on/off solanoid based on apex probe ph eadings?

I manually dose alk first in ine quick bottoms up fasion into DT. Once the cloudiness is gone, I dump cal in DT. Possible a good amount precipitate at the sand bed. I noticed clumps of hard sand all over the sand bed. I will dose smaller amount and move one to the sump area.

I got a tiny blenny in QT. Hope this little guy will stir it for me in a few weeks. Yeah I am adding 80ml twice a day into 150g DT + 30g sump. Alk was 8.6 yesterday. Wonder how I can reduce precipitation? By the way noticed my DIY cal solution becomes cloudy in the bottle after a week. It...

What do u think made my sand clumps together in small chunks and hard to stir up?

If u ever come through Fremont and San Jose area, give me a shout. Love to have a piece.

Can I just drop in some fish food every few days in the tank without fish but corals?

Sorry to hear. Take your time...

I am wondering why RHF's recipe #2 has to be half strength of recipe #1? One of my earlier question is whether I can use double strength of Recipe #2 part 2, together with Recipe #1 part 1? In this scenario, both have the same strength. Julius

In RHF recipes (http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-02/rhf/index.php): 1. Do I dose BOTH 3.A and 3.B or only one of the two? 2. Recipe #1 is 2x as strong as Recipe #2. I already got part 1 (Cal) made per Recipe #1. Can I make Recipe #1's part 2 without backing it? This essentially is a...

Is the attached photo the right material for making alkalinity solution? I bought it from Costco 1.5 years ago, now still unopened. My alk is at 7.4 now. I have been dosing ~150ml each of alk and cal solution daily for a month. Surprised that my alk is still at 7.4, not higher. Mag level is...

Thanks guys! So I conclude I need Soda Ash (sodium carbonate). What do you guys think of buying soda ash from the same place my 10lbs calcium chloride came from? Trying to avoid throwing away this 10 lbs I already have, unless it is hard to DIY balanced 2 parts solutions this way...

I have 1.5 years old but unopened A&H baking soda from costco. What does baking do to it to turn it into soda ash? And again, can I use it as is together with the Calcium Chloride I have to make the complete 2 parts? Obviously I am still lost... feels like feeding my tank with grandma's cup cakes.

I have 10 lbs bag of calcium chloride sold by www.saveoncitric.com. I think it is used to make calcium dosing. Now, need alkalinity part. What is the difference between Sodium Bicarbonate and Soda Ash? Which one should I use daily dosing? Will BRS Pharma work with calcium chloride from...

Xcaret, I am interested. Is it possible u can bring with you when we meet at San Jose next week? My CDA 150g is still just 3 months old, so I can not promise I dont mess things up.
