we have a winner! tried just running with no lights and peroxide dosing but to no avail... so now it's full black out with peroxide. BTW -- aluminum foil is the best material to shield... easy to work with and you can recycle! I picked up a really tough strain of dino -- likely from another...

Who wants to guess what I am doing or why?

I didn't go with SunRun but threw 29 panels on the roof and 3 Tesla batteries a few years ago and have never looked back!

Eggs continue to develop... went from orange to brown overnight with more definition of the larvae...

Treated the tank to clear up excessive GHA the snuck into the tank on some frags... The clowns took the opportunity to rearrange the decor and lay a clutch. Now trying to decide if I want to attempt raising the clutch..except that I will be traveling again soon. Never fails, my clowns always...

man -- you're behind the news!

0.75G waste to 1G product... Definitely need a booster to make this work. I have mine set at 85 psi based on the membranes I use.

My system is probably overkill for Mountain View as water comes from Hetch-Hetchy, which has modest TDS... I'll change my sediment filters a few times before the membranes need replacing. I used to do a swap during membrane changes so I only change out RO #3 and move #1 and #2 down a position...

Well... not all of them are big tanks. I have some nanos... some medium, and some bigger ones. :)

Oh you're right... 15. Lmao. I have a FW setup as well at work I forgot to count.

Bummer! I am being dragged to the mall this afternoon. Otherwise would love to meet up for a frag. Out of curiosity where I South Bay will you be?

Where are located? I might want some for my budget build :)

Consider adding a third RO canister to the setup, chaining the three in series rather than parallel... I did that some years ago and push about 85psi with a booster... my waste water is about 0.75G to 1G product...

I've had this purple tang since it was about an inch... in order for me to monitor and care for it, I had to move it from a 50 G to a 2.5G so I can encourage it to eat, etc. As it got larger, I moved it up to slightly bigger tanks. And now to the 5G... it'll likely be ready soon to go into my...

Where are you located? Depending on my travel and commitments, I can probably service the unit for you if you're not in a rush.

The last time I had to replace a pinch valve, I ordered them straight from the manufacturer... had I known about the tariffs then, I would have ordered a boat load and sell them myself... ha.

The usual conventional guidelines are general rules of thumb / recommendations. But I think it's important to take things into context. Usually guidelines on how much stock per gallon is to help general hobbyists manage their bioload and resulting water quality....followed by consideration on...

That's a loaded question... the answer is too many. ha. Here's my journal thread: https://bareefers.org/forum/threads/nanocrazeds-lazy-tank-s-journal.23780/

I mentioned in my earlier posts that the 5G is more like a nursery for the purple tang. Once it's big enough to fend for food itself then it goes into my other tanks... right now, it can barely compete with the two clowns... ...though once the purple tang moves out, I'm moving in the baby...
