How to shut off RODI waste water with float valve
cmrun replied to tprize's topic in General Reef-keeping Chatter
I know on my unit the waste water continues for 5-10 minutes before it reaches the back pressure required to shut the water flow off. It does work but maybe give it more time to shut off(hopefully that’s it). -
How long does everyone light there refugium?
cmrun replied to Mjnosz's topic in General Reef-keeping Chatter
I usually run mine for ten hours from 8 until 6. -
Sounds like a lot of fun, unfortunately cannot make it due to a family wedding. 🙁

Thank you all for coming we had a blast! The best advice on keeping the tank quiet came from Luis, raising the drain tubes in the internal overflow box to reduce the splash. Worked like a charm, Thanks Luis!

Awesome, looking forward to meeting you both!

Thanks! Great timing LOL, you're a weekend too late... I just sanded down the deck to bare wood and re-stained it. (Built a temporary canopy to protect it from all the rain). Now I need to work on the tank and all the other projects lined up for me. Have a great trip, I'm jealous! Which island(s)?

My lovely bride has informed me we are serving fried chicken from Hollyhock Hills and grilled shrimp. My address is: 921 Arrowwood Drive Carmel, IN 46033 (just off 146th Street about 2 miles east of 31 - Meridian/Keystone)

Looking forward to it.

April Meeting - New member meet and greet!!
cmrun replied to tanknovice's topic in Meetings, Gatherings and Frag-swaps
Great meeting! Thank you and Marcia for hosting. All Candy can talk about now is fish, inverts, and bacteria! That new poster is really life-like. 🙄 That should be really fun to watch it grow out. Loved all the tangs in there, but that Blenny will have to go on a diet or it will explode! Always fun, Thanks Again! -
The beginning of a pair of Interruptus Angels!

I'll be there. Looking forward to seeing the new poster tank! (not sure if Candy can make it ) -
I agree they look like chiton. Maybe a third further on the upper left? Always fun to get some of the good ones as hitchhikers!

The only time I upgraded tanks was... a little over 16 years ago and I didn't have corals as I was just a fowlr. The move was from a 55 to my current 125. I did transfer all my sand but did "vacuum" it fairly well. I transferred the LR a portion one day at a time and then added some more. I only took one week to let the new tank settle but as I mentioned only a fowlr. I did not lose any fish and the cycle was minimal. I did not use Tim's at that time. In your case, (assuming your bed is not deep... 1-2 inches) I can see taking more time but aside from cleaning the sand without destroying the bacteria. I would definitely would use Tim's and like you are doing plan, and be patient. Good Luck, I hope it all goes well!

The acquisition was not a good fit for either company {Big Box as compared to niche company}. It's a shame for those employees and their families. I hope they come out alright.

Brilliant!

A very nice meeting, thank you for hosting! It will be fun to watch you tank grow. I think we were all impressed by the organization and thought put into your system. Well done!

I recently purchased the Salifert test kit but prefer the Red Sea set up (glass curvet and holder/shaker hardware). So, I use the Salifert chemicals with the RedSea hardware. Both kits are similar in accuracy in my opinion.

I should be able to make this meeting.

I have no doubt this is a quality or tolerance issue.

I hope everyone has a SAFE, happy, successful, and wonderful 2019! Nothing but good wishes.
