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!

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...

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

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...

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...

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

You are not!

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.

The NSI still has me testing by hand, I am willing to stop because I am convinced.

They have a billion Tridents in place, so would have to sell both combined units and solo units which would drive up costs. They already have the design from the original trident, so they save a bunch of money by repurposing it. Having two units also means you don't lose all the testing/control...

It should keep running without wifi. Anything else change with apex or wifi lately? FWIW, this is why I hardwired my Apexes. I hated the wifi issue.

Yep, jim was using it by hand and the corner grabbed. The 4d aquatics blades have rounded corners to help combat this

Ceramic blade can absolutely scratch ceramic, the 4d aquatics blades for the TUNZE should not if installed properly (and it is hard to install them improperly). I have five of them in service and no problems, but using a ceramic blade on its own, yep scratch. I have 5 of them because I leave...

Calibrate when you get a new set of 2 month reagents and follow the directions. When you chage out A after a month, no need to calibrate. If you ran out and didn't run the shut down task, you will for sure have to recalibrate. Trying to make test kits 'match' will drive you insane, and I...

Fantastic!!

Thank you!

New episode!

hehe! Thanks!

As I understand it, there isn't commercial octopus food fishing in CA, so almost all octopus for consumption in CA is imported. There seem to be two prongs to the bill. The first, the one I don't like at all, is about octopus intelligence which is laughable, as you point out we have no problem...
