Bryan, you are fragging yours already ? my mother colony is doing fine but like Jeremy said, sometime it likes to recede for no reason.

you got a picture with the top off ?

so is he still your buddy? :D I bought one rod and had enough to build structures for three reef tanks

Cool glad it works out for ya, I used 3/8 fiber glass and it works great.

People that are good in meth are usually lazy for some reason ... LOL j/k

The element measure is for salinity of 1.026, you are using 1.0235-1.024 and that is why your readings are low. try increasing your salinity to 1.026 and retest and see what the true reading is.

Acrylic can snap and break off when the structure is too heavy, fiberglass rod doesn't snap like acrylic does. Also sometime if the rocks get heavy on one side acrylic would bend and can be comes unstable.

iani, 1 rod 5' long was about $6.50 i think, not that much

Darn it they tried to ripped me off ?? LOL ... I still like fiber glass rod better, they handle the weight of the rocks better than acrylic for me because I used lace rock with my structure and they are heavy.

Yeap, that is all I used, its much stronger and cheaper too.

I used it all the time as long and you don't force it too much it will be fine. currently I use a ceramic bit and that works better but pricey. The regular bit gets dulled very fast even the softer rocks

by the time you drove to someone's house to pick it up, you could have bought one for the price of the gas :D they are pretty cheap, get the masonry one.

That sounds so personal man ... LOL j/k

MAG doesn't get used up that fast, Salifert MAG test failed on me big time too so I wouldn't add anymore until you can confirm the reading with another test kit.

Cool, I will announce it at one of our future meeting and see if we can put something together. I will let you know when we are ready. Thanks

Rich, If I have some nice colorful softies that I like to frag, grow out and donate in the future, do I just arrange it with you and bring it to one of the meeting? I think members of the Wine country reefers might be interested also.

Another way to steam them is boil up about 1" of water in the pan, sprinkle with dry red pepper flakes (the type you see in the pizza parlor, a couple of table spoons of white vinegar, cut a lemon or lime in half squeeze it and throw the whole thing in, put in sliced 1/2 an onion, bring water to...

For live Crabs you are better off boiling them right away and then put it in the fridge they are very good cold, you can keep them live but they will degrade and becomes less sweet. If you are planing to make some kind of seafood stew then make sure to clean the crabs really good before boiling...

At what TDS reading do you think it is best run just prefilter/carbon/DI and take out the RO?
