BALLER !!!

About a year and the half ago. Jonas. ABC guy. Chemist put an additive into his stuff so it doesn’t go bad so quickly. He said he used one that was years and years old. It was fine. I did have a Neptune one go bad. It grew some slime stuff on the bottom of the bottle.

@Coral reefer mike is our local aquarium service guy in san Francisco area. Dunno if he goes out that far. But if he does. Hes extremely capable

Check it out. It’s Amazing. They think it might be 1000 years old or older.

I’ve been watching him for years. He’s really smart. Real old school tech. I love it.

Changing them out after a year is a marketing ploy. Take the heater out. Look thru the glass. If there is no water intrusion. The heater is fine. What goes bad is there’s a rubber gasket at the top. It usually fails from the saltwater and the saltwater Will corrode the internals. This causing a...

All heaters fail. We actually use them wrong. Well at least I do. We submerge them into the water. Which is wrong. There is actually a water line ( glass heaters). You are only supposed to put the glass part into the water the head controller is supposed to stay dry. Eheim and ebo jagger is...

No you want to have it on ac. To test it. Put the red wire probe in the right top( small blade ) then put the black probe in the bottom D shaped. Your volt meter should read 120v. Now if it does. Then your one the right setting. Put both probes in the water and see if you get a reading. If you...

I think it’s set wrong. I see ac. I also see hz. USA is 60hz. 120v. Is standard. If your reading 56v with red to power and black to ground. Nothing in your house world work.

Test the water with a volt meter. It will give you a better idea of what is going on. Ground probes are ok. But not a solution. Unplug one module at a time. When the volts drop close to zero. That’s the bad unit. But like Tu said. 99% of the time it’s the heater. But back in the day. I had a...

Those are power hogs. If only electricity was free. It would make my life so much easier

It’s chose chip frig right ? Not a real frig ? IE condenser and Freon.

Therapeutic starts at 1.75. They say once you pass 1.00 do not add any more fish.

Throw me in the mix Adian

I’ll trade boring for heartbreak any day. All I have is reef drama. Consider yourself extremely blessed.

Before you start. Let me say. QT isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s very unforgiving. You need to be very aware and spot on in your parameters. It’s not a regular aquarium. She’s a very mean lady.

I’m gonna go against what some of you guys said. I’m not a fan of fast ramping copper. I’ve done it in the past. I think it shocks the fish. They become extremely lethargic. Even when I slow ramp. 0.25-0.5 over 6-8 hours. Some fish are still tweeky. It something takes 3-5 days for the fish to...

Link is no bueno

In qt. Everything is supposed to be hard man made surfaces. It makes for no med absorption. Rocks , sand and whatnot will absorb meds and may releach at a later time.
