    Ha thanks, I'm excited to try out CalMax. I noticed a lot better Ph improvement when I did a quick buffer today.

    When I started using the GFO my Alk dropped a little.

    With Technology, great things happen. ;)

    Scott, is that really you?! I went to the doctor to get my eyes tested. ;)

    Thanks for the kind words, I hope all is well with you too.

    Really cool video, Chris. Love it. :)

    I was reading through and stumbled across this:

    That was one (of the many) issues I had with the SeaClone, but also one of the easiest to rectify. It seems that SW was splashing back into the venturi, then drying out causing the blockage. Feeding a few drops of freshwater into the air tube once or twice per week kept it clear. Any way to try that with the Tunze?

    That's a great idea!! I'll try the water trick tonight and see how it performs.

    Thanks! I used a GoPro camera with 4 days time lapse. I'll be putting the WM online next week. :)

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    OMG you're going to do it. I think you have made the right decision, although a hard one.

    Are there any corals or inverts you need to move out temporarily?
