The black gold bag says .05% nitrogen, that’s it, nothing else added. It does have perlite in it, but I can scoop it out when it floats up to the surface. I went to the forum to look over instructions again, some people don’t wait it just depends on what fertilizers […]
The rise from 6.8 pH to 7.0 pH over the course of a full day is nothing to worry about. That is the most you would ever want to change your pH as an immediate change but it’s OK when fluctuating that much through the course of a day. In fact, it’s not […]
What do the Walstad instructions say? http://thegab.org/Articles/WalstadTank.html
I was just glimpsing through the article again and saw this: “…If the soil is acidic, you can use powdered dolomite lime mixed in. If you have soft water add pelleted dolomite lime, or crushed shells to gradually increase the level of hard water nutrients over time…”
It sounds like […]
So after my PWC’s the last couple of days and the added crushed coral to the filter my pH now seems to have settled to 7. Yesterday when I tested it was at 6.8. None of the fish seem affected and all I did was add water and crushed coral i didn’t […]
Hi Eric; This may be true in High School demonstrations but in my 36 years in electronics the only two capacitors that have blown up where those in cheap Chinese Computer power supplies. The one I speak of on Motherboards just puff up or they leak some but it is rare for them to […]
I had a graphics card go when the capacitors blew once(never get an EVGA card again). Scared the heck out of my daughter…she thought someone was shooting at her *weg*. My expereince with capacitors is that they usually go with a bang. If you have a large enough one, it can actually cause […]
External drive are awesome. You can either buy one all put together or you can get your own drive and put it in an enclosure. The enclosures cost around $50-60 and hard drives are pretty cheap. You can get a terrabyte drive for under $200 now…that’s a lot of space. Both usually […]
Hello Ray; I have no back ground info on your computer such as age, type of motherboard, Processor type but in some cases this very same problem is observed when capacitors go bad on the motherboard. While thermal overload and power supply problems can also be a problem, it has been my experience in […]
On a side note, I think I have stimulated my cory’s into spawning mode with all the cleaning’s I’ve done the last couple of days, they got 2 PWC’s yesterday (with gravel vac), and today their filter was cleaned so therefor the tank was refilled afterwards, lots of fresh water going in […]
Okay I didn’t use the sock, I used the giant filter bag instead that I got yesterday from marine depot. Wasn’t sure where it would work best in the filter so it’s at the top (last thing the water filters through). I will check the GH and KH tonight when I get […]
