Hey, cool your from chicago, Im coming to Wheaton in a couple of months on business!...You anywhere near it?

RO/DI will only remove silicates for a short period. I am running an imported German silicic acid resin. Specifically designed for removing silicate loving diatoms etc. I am testing the product as we speak.

Does it matter if you only add Bicarb? What is the purpose for the carbonate? Interested... Cheers Craig

Standard DI mixed bed rfesin will only pull silicates for a short period. Silicate resin is what is required to remove siliocates long term. I wasnt aware Cyano required silicates either.

So are Dinos, different from Diatoms?

Cyano...very difficultly. I am trying to rid some at the moment. The bloody stuff grows without nutrients it seems. :?

streams are movable and look ok. Loops are fixed, and if in the wrong place may prove annoying. Streams are great!

Was the DINO red and slimy? How is your tank now?

Hey dewman.....long time ago...but what was the result?

Yes, I am doing 30% water changes once every 5-6 weeks. (I'm running 365 Gallons) I am dosing Sodium Bicarbonate, (Food grade). So what happens in an aquarium if chlorides build up? Any Ideas? Thanks again craig

Hey, just wondering. I am using Medicinal grade Calcium Chloride and my Acropora are loving it. However I hear that Chlorides can build up in the system. Can someone elaborate on this for me. Regards Craig

Hi people, I'm after some info here. I have a 66 Gallon set up still going through the cycling process. I am not totally worried yet, but more curious. Has anyone experienced a bacterial bloom while setting up a system and noticed that it is almost always gone during the evening through to...

I'm running a sump model deltec, these things skim when your water is clean!! They're pretty damn good. around $1200.00 $nz ($900.00 US maybe for a deltec 1250)

Yeah they do kick ass!! I think I believe you now!! Cheers!

I've seen them just as they have finished molting. They seem really tender for a awhile and have a bit of a fit! Amazing stuff. :)
