My 300 gallon acrylic tank

freak. Take some flake food and soak it in some RO/DI water for a half hour. Then take a sample of the water and test it for phosphate.

nice tank!

So what is the latest on your tank?

I have been following but havnt check in a few weeks

Once your fish get used to your own prepared food they will enjoy it more. I still feed pellets in the morning for convenience, but only a very small amount.

Trouble is, some fish actually do stop eating pellets :eek2: they eat it and spit it straight back out, its just not good enough for them :lol: spoilt little buggers :rolleye1:

So since your asking for votes, when are you changing the name of your thread to "The Bums Thread" :bum:

Cheers

Chris

Tanks is doing fine Kd I had a problem with my controller.My pH bus unit for my aquatronica controller doesn't work so I am waiting for a new one.I can't control my PH so I basically hooked up the kalk reactor to my summer timer on the controller.It comes on for 5 minutes every hour.All my fish are alive.The corals are doing fine.I have to push myself into doing weekly testing just to get into the routine.I guess because I only have 3 corals I don't bother as much.I will take some tests today.Jonathan I will try that.Funny how the food says no nitrates or phosphates are contained in the food.I will use the hanna meter.

Today I got out of my lazy mode and hooked up my twin doser to dose my 2 part.

[steve the plumb]

this is where I store the bottles.I don't know if I should get larger bottles

 

[jnarowe]

good god man, didn't I tell you not to use that doser?

Those bottles look big enough to me!

 

[steve the plumb]

You said not to use the other one for kalk top off.I still haven't had an incident yet.I did however place a float valve for that one.This one here works fine.I ran it for 2 years without any problems.I never had this model overdose on me once.Plus it goes on every few hours or so for 30 seconds.I will play around with it in a few days once I see what my levels are at.Jnarowe I think you are a little to paranoid.

 

[steve the plumb]

Jnarowe if you like give me $300 so I can buy the aquatronica model its a triple doser.

 

[Kannin]

Congrats on the split Steve... I was thinking of using two aqualifters. figuring out how long it takes one to replace 6 hours of evap and then putting them on alternating digital timers. What do you think? And you to Jonathan.

 

[jnarowe]

paranoid? Please, that thing nearly killed my tank...and seriously Kannin, buy a good one. I told you to come out and visit man.

 

[Kannin]

Ok... now I get it. Were talking in two threads... Huh? What if I wanted to come after christmas? I am taking the whole week off and I'm kind of booked prior. But, I understand if you are booked after.

 

[jnarowe]

doesn't matter to me. We may be having the January PSAS event at my place too.

 

[steve the plumb]

this one worked for me.My 2 bottles are lower than my doser plus I have the check valve on it(not that it makes a diff) I hooked of a float switch to mine (kalk top off) there are some better units if price is a problem I think two part solutions has some inexpensive models
