pismo_reefer Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 ya...thats why buckets should have labels Link to comment
luv-the-rics Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 i keep my top off water in a 3 gallon water jug Link to comment
pismo_reefer Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 ^i normally keep the pico's top-off water in the cabinet, under the pico. but i ran out and didnt refill it. add that to not payin attention to what i was doin' (purely my fault), and you have a stupidity cocktail.

luv-the-rics Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 it could be worse. cuz technically the tanks salinity before the "top off" was higher than the salt water you topped off with so you actually diluted a little bit. Link to comment
pismo_reefer Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 this is true...but by adding saltwater, youre adding more salt....thus the problem. Link to comment
luv-the-rics Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 yeah thats true too. Link to comment
pismo_reefer Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 ya, so its been about two weeks since i last posted about the pico.... i tore it down completely and re-siliconed the overflow. (alot of sand kept creeping in and clogging the ac30's impeller). when i put it back together i replaced the "main" rock with a rock from the 20H's 'fuge, its a sweet a** rock. but, since i dug up all the sand, it cycled for about a day (overnight) i lost alot of pods in the AC30...poor lil guys. i also lost my kenya tree frag and a couple mushrooms.(not a big loss,) so heres the new scape, hope you guys likey.... FTS! Link to comment
