Paul this movie makes me think of you playing in that Long Island Sound mud you are so fond of:

Creature from the Black Lagoon is a 1954 monster film directed by Jack Arnold, and starring Richard Carlson, Julia Adams, Richard Denning, Antonio Moreno, and Whit Bissell. The eponymous creature was played by Ben Chapman on land and Ricou Browning in underwater scenes. The film was released in the United States on 5 March 1954.

Creature from the Black Lagoon was filmed and originally released in 3-D requiring polarized 3-D glasses, and subsequently reissued in the 1970s in the inferior anaglyph format (this version was released on home video by MCA Videocassette, Inc. in 1981). It is considered a classic of the 1950s, and generated two sequels, Revenge of the Creature and The Creature Walks Among Us, each a year apart. Revenge of the Creature was also filmed and released in 3-D, in hopes of reviving the format.

The rock may be holding phosphates or precipitated metals . The bleach sanitizes but doesn't remove precipitants. An overnight soak in vinegar and ro water and a good rinse will help.

Personally, I would not use the old sand;not even for seeding. There are just too many unknowns potentially in there such as parasitic cysts ,and spores , metals and decaying organic matter.

I found a use for old sand---I just lifted some interlock on the front poarch that had sunk a bit---worked great in there

I remember the movie well, one of my favorite Black and white horror movies. Great rubber suit on the guy also

Well, it scared me but I was only 8.

how big does a RDSB need to be (relative to the size of the DT) to be beneficial?

I would think it would have to span the area of the display tank other wise you would have areas of just a deep sand bed. That would defeat the purpose to me???

 

[Whys]

This seems related to the minimum size question earlier. I'm not sure anyone really knows. A DSB of nearly any size will produce some benefit, I think. At what point a DT is beyond DSB capacity would depend on bioload.

I kind of figure that for maximum benefit, you'd probably want a DSB many times larger than the DT. Just a guess.

 

[Sisterlimonpot]

So it would be safe to assume that a RDSB in a 5 gallon bucket wouldn't be too beneficial to a 75 gallon tank with the average bioload. Right???

your running it remotely then-----I would say try it and see

I am just curious. I am one of the vodka dosers (yeah one of those guys) so I don't have the need. But it was suggested before in another thread that if they don't want to have a DSB in the display then run it remotely in a 5 gal bucket (I can't remember the size of the tank but it wasn't smaller than a 55gal). It just got me thinking, would the 5 gal even have an impact for NO3 reduction, and if it doesn't than how big (or how small for that matter) does it need to be to be beneficial in reducing NO3

I don't think remote buckets of sand do very much denitrification. There is not enough surface area and no force to deliver organic carbon to the deep areas for the heterotrophic denitrifiers( i.e, no channeling by benthic fauna and minimal if any advection to promote upwelling and water moving into the bed)

A lack of on topic discussion perhaps?

If it was the hope of others that I might moderate this thread, it should have been discussed. I don't consider this my thread. I simply got first post.

I do believe the initial article and diagram should be included in the "New-First Time on RC-Look Here for Answers" thread.

I don't even know what a sticky thread is, so I did not notice that it is not sticky anymore.

I also don't think a bucket of sand will do anything. Of course, I don't think DSBs do anything anyway :lol:

 

[Whys]

Here's why...

I'm just guessing.

 

[tmz]

Nice car you have there Whys

 

[Whys]

Yes, but life isn't about the material things. It's about the company we keep. :lol:

We need to spread out guys. Allowing ourselves to be rounded up into a single thread is dangerous.

Whys we are talking about a bucket of sand--not a bucket of bolts:lol:
