  1. I'll try an experiment and see if peroxide or muratic acid will kill it or not - I'm sure a lot of elbow grease will be needed as well
  2. Thanks for the offer, I'll let you know
  3. OK, I've had problems with my DIY skimmer, the DC5500S to be exact. Too small for the skimmer and it's stopped working and have been back and forth with CoralVue on repair and exchanges, for the last 3 months. So the tank looks like this with no skimmer and several fish. Is this stuff "turf algae" for sure it's not "hair algae" cause it'snot long and stringy - short, thick and wiry. Been thinking of cooking the LR with muratic acid or peroxide, not sure which way to go. Ideas?? And no the yellow tang , purple tang and tomei won't touch the stuff - let alone the clean up crew I dumped 2 weeks ago.
  4. I'm running 2 PH probes, one in the main tank and one in the effluent "cup", here's my programming it's a work in progress Fallback OFF Set OFF If pH2 > 6.71 Then ON If pH2 < 6.65 Then OFF If pH < 7.79 Then OFF Defer 005:00 Then ON My calcium reactor is a diy 10" that holds 5 tubs of the Cari-Sea medium size media There was an article on reef2reef about calcium reactors and controllers- good read, all the instructions that come with the reactors are pre controllers
  5. I can do you one better, I was around when the club first formed and Krux was the first president (if I remember right) and the forum was on the "Fish Tank" When the club left the Fish Tank and started it's own site, my join date never followed young whippersnapper
  6. I'll take these MAG18 (I think) return pump $40 obo 3 packs of Rod's Food original mix (FROZEN) $10 each
  7. Another way to do it and the safest, iMO, would be to use a pc of 2x4 with a "pilot" hole started and hopefully you you access behing or underneath the spot you want to enlarge, center the pilot hole in the center of the existing hole, clamp or somehow make it rigid and just drill gl
  8. Looking at it real quick, I think it's a single stage regulator and not a dual stage http://www.barrreport.com/forum/barr-report/co2-enrichment/6653-dual-stage-regulators?s=f96164be06808f416a1a08c3a33fe866 post #2 long read Good luck
  9. Back in Cali used to go fishing every other week, Catalina for sea bass using live squid, Santa Barbara Is. for "barn door "Halibut from 30 to 90 ft of water, no cranking 500 -900 ft of line like in Canada, Paradise Cove for halibut, ling cod, bonita, rock bass 3-5 day trips to Mexico for rooster, blue fin, big eye and whatever is hitting I use to build or wrap fishing rods for fun and friends, place the guides and cork handle or. . . . .
