    Durso Stand Pipe - Help!

    in General Discussion

    Posted

     

    I did that too for about a week. Came down in the middle of the night a couple times to check to seeDOH!

     

    Did you not have a emergency pipe?I capped on of my returnes and watched it for a while to make sure it would keep up. One of the 1.5" returns can keep up with my dart running at full power. I will find the article on reefcentral and post a link later for the people who haven't heard of it. Bulk reef supply did a YouTube video on a silent overflow which originally pointed me to it.

    Salt questions

    Over the past few years I have observed the following: (my opinion)

     

    Kent - Did ok but always mixed funny (took a long time and cloudy)

     

    Instant Ocean - Mix good but Calcium and Mag were usually low.

     

    Oceanpure - horrible. very random levels of everything.

     

    Coralife Salt - Never had any issues

     

    Pacific Coast Marine Mix - it has been consistently mixing with very low PH. I would not recommend. It seems to be cheap for a reason.

     

    I have a few buckets of Reef Crystals on the way to try out. I have heard good things about Tropic Marin and Seachem but have not tried them.

     

    The one thing I have learned is that every company seems to mix a few bad batches now and then. Watch your tank and see how things look after your water changes. If you notice odd behavior from your tank its time to break out the test kits.

    I can provide temporary housing until Nyles can come up and get him. I work in Oregon city and should be able to stop by and pick him up. Send me a pm or email with the details.

    silica sand

    I didn't get a chance to respond before the thread was closed.

     

    For what its worth I have used the white silica sand you get at HD or lowes for a couple years and have not noticed any problems. It 8-10 bucks for 100lbs. It is very fine and likes to blow around so that can be a problem if you have high flow areas down low by the sand.

     

    I have tested for silica before and after installation of the sand and didn't see any difference.

    Baby Brittle star

    I did a major cleanup of all the tanks last weekend. I had a large

    amount of macro algae growing in the Clown and frag tanks. The frag

    tank is totally clean and ready for a new start as soon as I build some

    new frag stands. The clown tank is looking good again. As I was

    cleaning I found a baby brittle star!

    He is probably about 2-3 inches across. He was cruising and didn't seem to like me cleaning the tank.

    Just curious
