O/T - PC Malfunctions

No there is no fuse in a computer…you surge protector can go bad causing it to trip off at much lighter loads than normal. Try plugging the computer directly into the wall and see if it shuts down on its own. if it doesn’t then the powerstip is the cause. If it […]

O/T - PC Malfunctions

Does anyone (Lenny, \Steve//) know if there is a circuit overload (fuse?) inside of computers that may get to be faulty, or can a overload-protection power strip go bad to the point of shutting itself off for no reason? I’ve been trying to reply to recent posts, some which I’ve been successful with and […]

[AquaticLife] Tap water Baseline testing, first test.

Mmmmm… my mom use to make goulash… or at least, that’s what she called it. It was GOOD! It was more like shell macaroni and meat sauce. It didn’t look or sound like what your grandma use to make or what Wikipedia shows as the original goulash… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goulash
Further reading down that Wiki-article […]

No, I’m afraid not! Haven’t yet heard of any way to neuter Angels, and their’s no way to prevent them from spawning if they have intentions on doing so — short of physically separating them into two different tanks. And before someone suggests to just lower the temperature below that of their breeding […]

[Ponds-Koi] havent posted in awhile…. need help picking a UV clarifier

If the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and phosphate are “fine” (meaning 0.0ppm for ammonia and nitrite, less than 20ppm for nitrate) then that is due to the green water algae. If you kill all of that algae, you will not only kill the thing that is keeping your water safe for the fish but you […]

[AquaticLife] Water testing with crushed coral

I have my GH and KH testing from my tap, but I didn’t do them with a baseline test, I assume that as the water sits the GH and KH will be used up slowly and the pH drops? Am I correct?

[AquaticLife] Water testing with crushed coral

Did you ever do your tap water baseline testing? What were the numbers right out the tap, at 24 hours and 48 hours? Mainly the pH, GH and KH but also the others, if noteworthy.
What percentage of the 1/4 full bucket is crushed coral, as opposed to the amount of crushed coral that […]

[AquaticLife] Water testing with crushed coral

I didn’t do the baseline testing, I forgot about it, ugh. I can empty the bucket and start a baseline testing though. I just put crushed coral in the bucket I didn’t measure how much I would need for the 125 gallon or any other tanks, I’m not really sure how much […]
