Sizing a UPS can be a lot of fun. If you buy a 750, most people assume it can handle 750 watts, however, UPS’s are really measured in volt-amps. You can look and look on your electronics or other appliances, and not find a volt-amp measurement anywhere. There is a white paper that kind of […]
Snipped from below…
I know we talked about the Dr. Tim’s One And Only, Bio-Spira and (Tetra) Safe Start, early on, but you should be nearing completion of cycling your tank so it’s not as much of an issue any longer.
Dr. Tim’s is the only one I would strongly recommend but since Tetra bought out Marineland, […]
Yes, but it’s not easy. This page explains everything, including pics. http://thegab.org/Articles/SexingGoldfish.html

The owner does not need to join Grouply to block their list from Grouply. If the owner requests it, I will forward him the appropriate links.
Again, Grouply does not spam. Unwanted messages may come from Grouply, but they are initiated by those drinking the Grouply kool-aid. They want you to join them for a drink. […]
The proper resolution to this issue is for the owner of this group to (i think) join grouply and request that the group be removed from grouply so that it cannot archive messages and send spam to members of the group. At any rate the issue can be resolved by the owners of this group […]
It looks like you have 0.0ppm nitrate but that you have 0.5ppm of ammonia… which you should not have in a tank that has been set up as long as yours. You might want to double check your ammonia test results and your nitrate test results. Of course, since you haven’t done filter maintenance, […]
Thanks Lenny, Gives me some material to study in my spare time. Some of us do care about the details. I guess that is what make people Engineers?

With pH, there is 7.0 (neutral) and then there are lower pH (acidic/acid) and higher pH (basic/base). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid-base_reaction_theories The pH down type product is an acid which reacted with the basic chemical substances in the water which then caused the pH crash.
I’m not sure when and where the word “alkaline” or “alkalinity” came into […]
There is a not-so-accurate way to determine CO2 levels based on pH and KH levels.
Here’s one page that explains it and has a chart. This is based on accurate test results of pH and KH so it’s important to be consistent when testing at a certain time of day and keep track of your […]
Well, that explains how they can live by the bridge over the creek on Meadowheath! I had seriously wondered how anything could live in that gook.
