  1. Thanks Shane-I'm curious to see if anything gets erased. At the DA forum site I read that the memory wont get erased in the event of a power loss, it had to be because the head unit got disconnected??? Better have been that-I'm sort of having buyers remorse with this unit-wishing I bucked up for the additional monies and went APEX-DOH!
  2. AS A general rule-Those are the results I expect from API-at least all the kits I have used by them produced the same data-NOTHING worth trusting- KH Ca Mg No3 Po4 Not worth a penny-IMO-when you have thousands worth of livestock, you want to be able to trust in the kit producing accurate info- Salifert and possibly the new (to me) Elos which I have yet to try Perhaps others will see this and if they use API-test their API kit against a kit that has proven itself
  3. I'll butt in uninvited w/ my opinion, from 1st hand experiance with both pumps-LOL I presently have the 6000 also, which is rated what 1500ish GPH at zero head loss, the Mag 12 is 1200? The Mag 12 will not loss the GPH as fast as the Quiet One so if you think the 6000 is to much-you may want the Mag 9, or choke the Quiet 1 back further. http://www.marinedepot.com/powerheads_pumps_danner_mag_drive_supreme-ap.html http://www.lifegardaquatics.com/pdfs/q1aquariumDS.pdf I think the graph or stats on the 6000 are FALSE, 1st hand experiance I'm not sure what amount of rise you have from your sump to the tank, but you can check out the graphs at marine depot on the 6000 vs the mag 12. The 6000 drops like a brick after 3 feet compared to the mag 12- IMO-keep the 6000 and add a gate valve vs a ball valve
  4. If your water is testing fine other than a High SG, depending on how that was-the questions I would ask would be; How long had the fish been at the LFS? If the fish were a "new" addition" I would not need to do anymore research-Once these fish are harvested-the next 2-4 days are brutal-and the true mortality rate I would only believe if it came from my closest friend AND they were involved, i.e. trans shipper, receiver-something. There are a couple stores I have bought from and I can tell you the "stats" on death from those stores is 2:1 or higher over other stores I have got from. My guess is you did nothing wrong the fish died from stress and those spots you saw/see are proof. I would rather pay a LFS for a fish-have them hold it for at least a week, see it eat, and act normal" before bringing it home-if they are not willing-take your business somewhere elsewhere. Fortunately SWF has like a 72 hr guarantee or something on the fish living-not sure exactly but I saw he offers it-Good for him, that's a great safety net to have! I dont see the blame or cause being on you/your tank- Like Nick said, could have been "infected" before you got them, another reason to have the store hold them-you win they win
  5. You.... make.... the.... call....-spoken like Chris Berman from ESPN-(laugh) Not gonna open so its your guys' call The most ever fully opened was 10, that I think you can make out. 13 total but 2 never even split- 11 did- I was in it to win it-so let me concede to the winner...(icon) Its been fun-Cant wait for the big numbers to roll in-Miles???? Why couldn't they be like these guys-Right Freakin next to them-
  6. How do you make that happen-(laugh) I'll be posting up here soon, but mine wont open-they got stage fright and have been in lock down for the last 4 days-well actually since I BLASTED them with a straight shot (ok 15ml) of phyto/oyster feast-DOH! Oh well
  7. I was talking about it w/ the wife, as there were a few I just could not remember 100%-granted they were taught to us growing up spanned over roughly 6 years- but when taking the test, its condensed and a cram session. So I agree a lot my not pass, but I think more has to do with what "you need to know" I have a hard time remembering the Pythagorean Theorem or the hypotenuse of an angle but you get my point-I hope The theorem is that the sum of the squares of the lengths of the sides of a right triangle is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse-
  8. A test from the gubberment-(nutty) I like these; 9. What is the 4th of July? 10. What is the date of Independence Day? 23. How many branches are there in our government? 24. What are the three branches of our government? 25. What is the legislative branch of our government? 35. What is the executive branch of our government? 36. What is the judiciary branch of our government? 86. Name one benefit of being citizen of the United States-and LMAO-
  9. Yes I have signed up there-it was more a "what do you have yours set at" type of Q. I will say I was EXTREMELY disappointed when I disconnected the head unit to move it outside the cabinet-and all the set points I had got erased. Is that what I can expect in a power outage-to lose all my saved set points-timers etc? Any info on that? Thanks Shane
  10. I had this originally posted in the wrong category; Anyone using the Reef Keeper to control their Ca Reactors? Curious what levels you have your high set for, and what your Hysteresis is. If you use Reef Keepers that will mean something-(laugh) I have mine set at 6.65 w/ the Hys. at .05 so it is coming on at 6.70 and off at 6.6- I thought I read it would come on at the high point (if tyou chose high vs low) and of at .05 below the high-not at .06 above the high for on. 20 hours later all seem well- I 'll run H2O tests later to see what has changed in a day. Just curious if anyone using this brand- I think Markdadof2 does and Mytshall does I know. Thanks
  11. Moved to correct category-Equipment-
  12. How I relly feel about that-you got to wait, here it comes- Did I stir up a snap storm AGAIN-(laugh) I thought Byrd retired-
  13. 1 out of 7- DOH!-Sorry about that- Replying to your PM
  14. Hey Sharon- last time I was in Eugene was when I went to your house for those Pokerstar frags-Your turn-(laugh) I might be willing to meet or figure something out if the sps was something that hit a hot button- Do you want to PM me if meeting somewhere might work with what you'd offer in trade? LMK Brad
  15. Well I may not have anything to post-(flame) Mine have been in lock down for the last 2 days, today making day 3-time will tell-(whistle) All I see is 12 "nubs"-(nono), I know they are not all opened, last I counted it was 10-but "no openee" "no countee"-oh well-
  16. No big deal if it doesn't I prefer R2R- I just searched DA-I'm just not sure-still leaning towards AOG Look at the pic in the top left here-that sure looks close to me??? well off to work-LOL at 9:30 http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://lecorals.com/images/thumbs/zoanthids/armorgod.jpg&imgrefurl=http://lecorals.com/products/zoanthids/&usg=__H7J_R5tGO3X9IuqErC1KQK1l_kc=&h=127&w=127&sz=8&hl=en&start=7&sig2=YUlv71kWbkGC-i6NdFvopg&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=63NTkookQ5xwWM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=90&prev=/images%3Fq%3Darmor%2Bof%2Bgod%2Bzoanthid%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1T4GGLL_enUS340US340%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1&ei=E8lhS823KqHcMbOG8cAP
  17. Oh I see how you are-(laugh) I had figuerd they were AOG or DA- Are you selling them-if so whatcha fetchin for them-I got more-LOL. Thats my intent with the group zoos-buying them strictly to sell-(plotting) When I signed up my reefnjunkie on RC I got a PM-"Banned for life", its because I had an account already They are seeing about the name change
  18. Nice Looks nice Eric-looking back I wish I had really had more space between mine, once these bad boys settle in and start splitting they fill in an area quickly-I'm experimenting with fragging at the moment-seeing if there is anything to the "you need part of the mouth" theory in order to frag. The regular stupid old mushrooms come back after they are decapitated-hopefully the rics will to- Results in the works
