i vote for the ozone and plant method! i mothers house in marin had a pond that was not "ideal" and would grow algae like there was no tomorrow. she had feeder goldfish and koi in it. i ended putting two dozen of those hyacinth plants and a uv sterilizer to finally eradicate the problem...

Robert - Why do you decide to have a Mega sale when i decide to go out of town? I rather give my money to you then these strangers in san diego. Joe

Tell about it! I bouncing out of the Dublin around midnight on Friday. Hopefully I'll miss most of the traffic. Maybe I can stop at Socal Tropical fish on the way back up and check out the alpha 200 skimmer! Might not be a bad trip if i do!

Dialing in a CaRx is a slow process but once done, you should rarely tinker with it. You'll need to add Kent Turbo Calcium or B-ionics. I crashed my tank by trying to add Kalk to bring up the Calcium. Use this calculator to figure out how much you need to add. These two links have been my reef...

you have three breakers. Two half height breakers and one single. the 220v/30a (half height) is for your air conditioner (AC) so lets not focus on this. Re.the single brkr: Once you remove the deadmans panel, you should have a black wire connected to it; this is your hot, take you meter and...

I'm not an electrician so i would consult one to inspect. If I understand this correctly, you said the breaker was replace; what used to be one breaker is now two? if so, this is called a half height breaker where they fit two in the location of one. this is where it gets confusing, you...

well if you are buying new, then yes they come with a magnetic ballast.

I used to have 12g jbj w/ 150 viper over it. You will need to acclimate your corals to the intensity of the new light. Also, you will need a chiller and some form of a top off water. I was replacing close to a gallon of water. I may have missed it but did you resolve you electrical problem? If...

the jbj articas are pretty quiet; i have a 1/10 on a 70gal. A big considereation if this is in a family room or near a tv. There was one that had an outlet to plug in a heater but can't remember the name. I thought that this was a great idea so that you are not fighting with the setpoints. When...

Email me at jcabatu@yahoo.com and let me know how you want to proceed. I just grabbed another battery off the shelf and its reading 25Volts so I know this is good. You can either take the battery or bring your UPS over and we can test it.

BIgD-Did you get this handled? I might have mag 9 that I can donate. Will check when I get home-Joe

How long have you had it? those batteries last only a couple of years and then needs to be replaced. The batteries will cause the unit to shut down to prevent a fire. In my case, the unit shut down and when i took it apart, the batteries had swollen and cracked open. This is due from them having...

mine did the same thing recently but i think it was due to turning my vortech up. I moved it to the bottom and turned down the vortechs and it seems to be coming back. the white area are now filling in after two weeks.

Hey Mark, Going through your RC thread is like reading a good novel, you can't put it down! Any update on your Grafted Simplex? Joe
