A take on BB methodology.

[ReeferMonkey]

I guess i am like randy in the chemistry forum

Except Randy doesn't troll like a retarded 8-year-old.

Oh yeah, he speaks the King's English as well.

population dynaminc hell no!! its called diffusion!!!!
passive difusion ksp of cap04 do you know the ksp for cap04?
Probably not!! i see i am making some good friends here!!

No problemo...which other thread are you talking about??

mike

Here it is Mike. I couldn't find your site the other day and I wanted to post your tank on that thread.
Have Chuck fix some of your pictures so we can post them.

reefer monkey are you housing a catfish farm?

 

[Bomber]

I pray that is how i test my tank and the good lord keys me in..

Other than that. What can you test for and what can you do with those results?
What can you do to tell if you're even doing something right or wrong?

You must be really starved for attention. But then again, I'm the retard who's responding...

Pray tell, whatever do you mean?

how does a bacterium concentrate phosphate? Active transport?hmmmm

Best indicator is the redox of your tank and sand bed take that ratio and shoot for -1 when the lights are on

 

[Bomber]

How accurate is a redox reading and what does it tell you?

 

[bluebentgrass]

How healthy is your sand bed?
Is it actively reducing no3?

 

[G-money]

Gee, off the top of my head - nope, don't know the Ksp of CaPO4.
It must have been replaced with what I had for dinner last night.
Sorry, can't play with you anymore...

 

[bluebentgrass]

gee what does redox tell me??/ hmm it tells me how many electron hungry or electron excessive molecules are in my sand bed or tank water!!

 

[bluebentgrass]

OOPPS i know bomber you will say he the sand bed is dontaing electons and the water column is actively absorbing electrons.

 

[Bomber]

and what do your lights have to do with it and is that a accurate measurment of anything

 

[bluebentgrass]

anyhow redox of sand be is neat neat neat!!!! monitor it..

 

[bluebentgrass]

I don't know bomber how could the lights change the redox of a sand bed.Did you ever check the redox of your failing system?

 

[bluebentgrass]

yeah bomber it is a worthless measurement know how many oxidizing molecules verusus reducing moleucles is totally worthless!!!

You can kill alot of stuff if you know what i mean!!

 

[Bomber]

You are telling me to check it. Tell me why and how accurate those results are and what they mean and what you would do to correct it.

What's the obsession with the solubility product of calcium phosphate? What does it matter that it's around 1x10-26.

What's the significance of that?
