All, I thought that I should move the discussion of algae elimination out of the new member forum. It has been almost two weeks now since I started treating the 190g with a combination of H2O2 dosing and treatment with Fauna Marin Dino/Algae X. When completed, I'll do a write up following the...

You are just talking about fish, right?

Assuming that Magnesium is good, it would be unusual to have precipitation. Mike could be right. It could be a reaction with the Emaco, especially if the calcium is drifting at the same rate.

Raven, Are you still grappling with this? If so, I can share what I have been doing to resolve my algae problem, which looked just like yours. This is solvable. Jim

If you find a power supply with the right voltage and current capacity, but wrong output plug, the output plug can be changed out if you can find the right sized output plug separately. All a matter of cost/convenience.

Julius, output plugs can be changed.

Thanks! I took a look at the specs on A660. It indicates no exposure to water for 24 hours. Have you used this for repairs while submerged? With thanks, Jim

Julius, Find somebody who has one, or has the specifications (the replacements are 12-24V, configurable). Perhaps your pump has an indication of the power requirements (voltage, and amperage). From there, it should not be too difficult to find a replacement. let me know if you need help. Jim

Jester, thanks for the lead. I see that Emaco makes several products, and there seems to be some additional add-ins available. May I ask for a recommendation on which product you would recommend? With thanks, Jim

Wow. Bigger than I need, and it sounds like it's all five tanks or nothing...

OK, this looks like great fun. Hope we are planning some more grow out contests for 2017. I'm in! Jim

Update on the experiment: There appears to be no new algae growth. Existing algae is turning a very light color and separating from the rocks on its own. I have random clumps floating in the water that I am removing with a net. The Fauna Marin product indicates that it "may harm urchins during...

Good information and use of the meter. Keep us posted on progress. Any troubles keeping the tank at temperature during the summer?

I ran a line from the house to the garage, and saw a shift upwards of 0.15 within 24 hours.

Nice job guys. Looks really great. Sorry I could not join in the fun...

Sale in SJ is until Jan 28 and based on available stock. No rainchecks :(

I seem to have bad computer Karma :confused:

First, let me express my appreciation for making the new guy feel welcome. I appreciate all the recommendations for tackling the challenges I have been experiencing. Absolutely worth the price of admission. Second, let me wish you all a very Happy Christmas, and I hope that Santa leaves you...

Mike - good question. Chromis - anything else on that circuit? One problem created by electricians is daisy chaining outlets off of a ground fault. if the outlet detects a fault and pops, all the outlets downstream go dead, while the circuit breaker in the box is unaffected. It can be...

+3 My Apex wireless was frequently dropping. Zero issues since hardwired to the router.
