Queen Angel Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I havent been on the forum much in quite awhile, but I did just come across this post this morning. You can count me in to help with the set-up. Hopefully nothing comes up to make me have to back out. So far, I dont see a probelm with that.

Electrokate Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I can help too. You have a heater? Thermometer? Powerstrip(s)? salinity meter of some kind (am thinking plastic one with the correct level circled) I think one of those Kent dripper things would be awesome too for topoff water.

Kate JasonH will be deliving the tank today from Badguitarist and he was going to throw in some other things including a pump and then I will have a better idea of what else we will need. What are you talking about regarding the "Kent dripper things" ? I'm pretty sure we will need a heater but we were thinking of just buying a new one. As far as a salinity meter. I don't like the hydrometer's because they are so inaccurate but would be simpler for a newbie to use and I suppose Beth could double check it from time to time with our refractometer.

Mr S Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Looking good people. I am starting moral support early! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrokate Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Kent aquadoser http://saltaquarium.about.com/cs/doserstosupplies/gr/aapraquadoser.htm I like it for newbies because you don't have to explain about putting topoff water in the sump in an area of high flow "slowly" which is an arbitrary term. I add ph buffer with topoff myself to an aquadoser which puts it in the sump, all other additives I am ok with dumping in. To a "high flow area". Another arbitrary lingo set. I know it's all a lot for a newbie, hard to know what to tell as too much info usually means you don't know when they stopped listening and started drooling. Do manuals come with the setup in Tanks for Teachers? Seems like a good idea. I know plastic refractometers are wrong, but usually they are consistently wrong (: Plus if it gets dropped, lost or swiped it's not a huge deal. They probably should have something to use... Found out I can't be there tomorrow, got a baby shower I forgot about. Good luck, let me know if you need anything. I am in that hood. Thanks, Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Kate There are no instruction manuals but I agree there should be one and I'm going to try to put one together with contact numbers. I'm still not sure what we are going to do for top off. It may just be a 5 gallon jug of ro/di water that someone has to place. I'm open to ideas with this one As far as water changes Beth and I were planning on doing those and maybe getting a few volunteers as well. Mike the admin guy you met seemed really interested in helping out and learning more. He won't be there for the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
