Awww, 96K, that's soo horrible...I can't even GET broadband here!
-
Just remember, Length is depth, Width is length and...Ugh...hehe. Speaking of photography...I'm pleased with this photo. Needs some...Uhh...Pre production processing...
-
If my float valve sticks it just dumps at most about 20 liters of water into the tank. Not enough to make much of a difference.
-
If it was capacitors wouldn't it tend to have the problem with all bulbs?
-
Solution, rotate the tank 90°! Then it'll be 6 feet deep!
-
No, I haven't replaced the bulbs, Reef. No warranty and I really don't want to be spending $300+ on bulbs right now. I put the old ones back in. Oddly one of them now has a green tinge. Not blaming the supplier, Steve. Blaming the product. Since the old bulbs are working fine I think that rules out the pendant and the two aqualine ones started acting up about a month apart I'm saying my sample size of two means Aqualine 16K bulbs=pooo.
-
No, that won't work. Might work in a saltwater tank, but yours is freshwater.
-
I think the bricklike pellets are media, so that's probably not a problem. It's possible the carbon was there long enough to turn into a biofilter and removing that caused a small spike in ammonia, but I doubt it. So, otherwise I dunno what's going on. How many of the gouramis have died? I haven't been able to kill them when I tried! hehe. If you want to replace them, let me know.
-
How about a bottlefish? Fishless cycle it.
-
Why would the ignitor cause a problem with a bulb going out? And the old ones are working fine. It's an Arcadia "Professional deluxe" Which I'm guessing would be what you mean by older style arcadia.
-
You can use blankets and candles to keep warm and to see while the fish slowly suffocate...
-
Yes, you can move as much of the water as possible and the filters and everything to the new tank and you won't need to cycle it.
-
Speaking of cheap stuff. Just fired up my $150 bunnings generator. It's actually 550 watt with 750 watt peak. Seems to run well, should run at least the filters and everything on all my tanks if there's a power outage.
-
My $20(I think) float valve hasn't stuck yet...Well, I'm ignoring times it stuck due to my faulty mounting design. But since I fixed that it's been perfect.
-
Ah, sweet. If I ever get around to see your tank, Suphew, I'll have to pinch a couple black ones off you.
-
Some kinda nudibranch? It's about maybe 20mm long, but is very stretchy so that of course varies. White/greyish which isn't very clear in the picture. Just caught it crawling around on my liverock yesterday.
-
That or if it's using RO water you could have a solenoid turning the water flow on and off and pouring straight into the tank.
-
Oops, AquaLINE not Aquamedic. It's a double ended one, Kermit.
-
And now the OTHER bulb is starting to go out. So, I'm officially NOT impressed with these Aquamedic 16K bulbs. Hey, Steve, any kind of warranty on them?
-
Not around here it doesn't!
-
Where do you get it? Best I've been able to find is like $50 for boxes to make about 120 liters. I really don't want to be spending $50 per water change.
-
I dunno if i'd kill people for $60 an hour, but I'd definitely hit them with a makeshift blunt object for $60 an hour.
-
You're only going to be putting a bubble every few seconds through it. It won't have a problem.
-
Let's see...2500 pins to solder, let's say 2 pins per minute on average that's 1250 minutes. Call that 21 hours including breaks...$30/hr for labor, you going to charge $630+ for them? hehe.
-
No need to put any holes, Jude. Just run the airhose to the intake strainer of the canister and rubber band/cable tie it in place, it should suck any CO2 bubbles up.
