You better be careful or I'll tell her where you live! :eek2: Plus...she likes it like that.

 

[jnarowe]

J, found this thread and found it interesting so far. Haven't finished it yet but thought you might want to have a look too.

Thanks for the link Barry. Very interesting. I have not had problems with my zoanthids (yet) but I am going to look into that more. I guess I would have to dose what, about 20,000 mg 2x/day?

Sherman and I did some planning for the partial drain of my tank today, and I discovered that my LiterMeter wasn't dosing and hadn't for at least a couple of days or more. My alk is down to about 6.5 ppm and pH has been holding at just below 8.0. I dosed some baked baking soda and fixed the LiterMeter, so hopefully it will get back in line. I found out about the alk when I took a sample to send out to a lab, and did my own battery of tests.

As you read through, it actually seems to be helping other critters too.

This is the dosing directions:

If you were using it prophylacticly, you'd only need about 5 gm/day

Somedays it just sucks being you!

I should have known something was wrong but it is so hard for me to put things together. Low sump + low pH = no kalk top off... right?

Interesting instructions...I am going to need a lot of Vit C! (like 30,000 mg/day... I see your idea on the lateral line/HHD disease, and I will try this. Thanks!

 

[mrcrab]

Actually, I was thinking about your clams and since they're in qt you wouldn't need nearly that much.

 

[jnarowe]

aaah...I see. That's not a bad idea. The clams are back in the display because I have corals in the QT right now for at least a couple more weeks, but after that I certainly can experiment with a clam and see what happens. Maybe trap the Sailfin and QT it too.

My Ford Fusion made it through Jonathan's 4 X 4 area today! I got a snake man! How come my tabs say "loading...".

 

[jnarowe]

Just to clarify, "dosed" = adding a hlf gallon of alk supplement at once! I nearly crapped my pants even though I have watched him do it before. :eek1:

 

[sherm71tank]

Barry has meds? He shared them with you? You didn't share with me? That's just not right!

 

[sherm71tank]

Must be the estrogen!

 

[jnarowe]

hehehehe...well, well... it is 1,100 gals. you know! That brought it up what, .03 in pH?

oops, I forgot. It's ToKillya.
