harder to find now that you went all cloak and dagger with this account when you dropped your other real identity. (especially since you said in a prior post under this account that multiple people use this account)

I already get nano-spam. Kinda sad :(

Shark-Laser developer and keeper of the ultimate question of life the universe and everything. ...and in my spare time, I build/design research/prototype instruments.

Conservation of matter. Vinegar merely converted goods when you "remove" water spots by changing things like Calcium Carbonate into water soluble Calcium Acetate + Carbon dioxide. Vinegar in a reef is a food for bacteria, which add to the food chain and aid in skimmer based nutrient export.

LE Deepwater Toothpicks :-D Time to bring back DTBC-X!!!

just green, but it does have a nice eucalyptus-mint flavor!

If you have the tools at your disposal (or maybe this is already know), it would be interesting to figure out how much of photoinhibition is integrated intensity vs spectral density. Translation: 1 watt of broad band 455 nm center blue LED light vs 1 watt of narrow band 455 nm laser light...

Keep in mind that UV is a very generic color. It just means wavelengths shorter than 400 nm. I find the statement to general and the cutoff to arbitrary. DNA damage does not happen till you hit UVC wavelengths. UVB can cause sunburns, and we actually need small amounts to produce vitamine D...

I'd just extend the DC cable. Remember that voltage drop is important. If it were me, I'd one up the current gauge (ie, if the current cable is 18 gauge, extend with a 16 gauge)

I just want to play

DAAAYUUUMM!

SW crock tank! Awesome :-D

Crap! Same month as my wife's B-day!!!! I might have to miss this one.

No clue whatsoever. I just came across that small unit while searching for "home desalinization plant" I know nothing about it besides what is listed on the link. Not sure if you need a "waste" flow like with a normal RO unit. or if the waste flow is simply the high salinity concentrate that...

should you feel like taking the equipment approach, you can combine hauling with something like this : http://www.foreverpure.com/products_SWRO-70.htm

you can, but the same rules apply. Salt won't evaporate where you dump it. It will accumulate. whether you do it or not, depends on what is near the creek (things near the dump area likely will die) and any local regulations you are about (following). If you are dumping 10% weekly...

I have a septic system. Septic systems can tolerate some salt, but not a lot. In a septic, everything you dump in has to either be broken down, diffused, or taken up by plants. What this means for all practical purposes, is that all salt dumped into septic will 1) likely kill off the...

Thoughts on a direct feed backup generator to the sub panel or battery bank for backup?

UV LEDs will photodarken materials by modifying color centers. Don't think this is the case. My A150W (the 15K one) has nice clear optics.

i'll check mine. Might want to contact kessil directly incase there is some QC issue.
