albertthiel Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Lookie yall - NEW TOYS The only problem is the doser instructions are in Chinese! No English ones on their website maybe? Sounds odd that they would not include English ones ... nice looking piece of equipment though Zeph. I'm sure you'll figure it out ... And I think this is a video to that model Albert Edited July 27, 2012 by albertthiel Quote Link to comment
twan Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Nice new toys congrats! Now take a deep breathe, set aside some time (and some beer) and tackle it! Quote Link to comment
ZephNYC Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Nice new toys congrats!Now take a deep breathe, set aside some time (and some beer) and tackle it! Exactly..and maybe a spliff or 2 ( I didnt say that). The doser doesnt even have a cord to plug in...just some type of computer port. Im thinking I should have gotten a BSR doser instead, but I'll figure it out with the help of the NR crew. Quote Link to comment
chrssprngs Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hey KK, how's things over here in HiTech land? Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hey KK, how's things over here in HiTech land? Hey you. Apex is working like a charm. The gravity drip wasn't set properly the day before and dumped 32oz of buffer solution in a 12 hour period, my dKH was 15, corals were outstanding! My tank makes me very happy. How is your world?

How is your world? 15 ... a tad high BUT is the coral look outstanding I guess they "like" it .... How's your pH after all that buffer was added if I may ask ? Albert Quote Link to comment

Oh no! Atleast they looked good. Do you think the sps your sending me would be alright going up and down and then shipping to my tank? Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Oh no! Atleast they looked good. Do you think the sps your sending me would be alright going up and down and then shipping to my tank? yes, they are actually looking really happy. I did a water change when the dkh was high, but if you listen to Zeph, high dkh is good. he keeps his at 11. Quote Link to comment
boxboy Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Just read over the last 5 pages Kat, Sorry to see you betta fish went to heven. Im glad your getting the water chem worked out. at least corals like DKH. I always like viewing your thread. Your tank looks great Kat. Quote Link to comment
albertthiel Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 yes, they are actually looking really happy.

I posted a question about your pH but you did not respond yet Kat Quote Link to comment
kgoldy Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Indeed he does ... I posted a question about your pH but you did not respond yet Kat I'm thinking here pH reads just one thing --- unstable. Quote Link to comment

ZephNYC Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) but seriously, who listens to Zeph, anyway? THis i like!! ... And I have figured it out. Yall never listen at first, get 30 other opinions, change your mind 67 times, and eventually do what I very first said anyway. When Kat told me her DKH was 15 I told her she would REALLY be fly if she could keep it there. Mine is always 10 - 11and when I get my doser and kalk reactor hooked up It will be higher...hopefully.

metrokat Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) I was just sitting in front of the tank and took some random pictures with the cell phone. Interesting marble effect caused by 2 or more coralline algaes merging or trying to out compete each other. There are 3 distinct species of the algae in that picture alone. Can you spot 2 perfectly rectangular dark shapes just below and to the left of the favia? Those are bi-valves deep inside the rock, their mouths open, these are dead unfortunately. Charlie was very cute today Draco was cruising in the zoanthid garden. Edited July 29, 2012 by metrokat Quote Link to comment
Reef Casa Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Schmoopy the Betta fish, died today. He was about 2.5 or 3 years old. RIP Schmoopy. He has gone to a better place Quote Link to comment
